Hello Stranger

I know I have not posted in quite a while!  
I gotta get a post written for July because it has been almost a month since my last post!
I really have not had too much weighing on my mind so the therapy session has not been as needed.

My summer has been pretty uneventful.  I found out that the last jerk that mangled my emotions had also been f***ing other chicks when he would go out without me.  I cried a little over this information but this dude does not deserve any more of my tears.  I still would like to take a little revenge on him but I don't think anything would phase him.  Just gotta push further past this bad experience and learn from it. 

Through this experience I think I have met a really great guy.  He had been flirting with me back when I was seeing "Mr. Douche" but he had a girlfriend and the last thing I needed was more confusion.  Just when I thought I had pushed him away enough he broke through my security barrier and we have been spending a lot of time together since.  I am still very afraid of getting hurt again.  But my recent experiences have taught me to further disregard what people think of me so that I can put my feelings (closer to being) ahead of others.  I need to have a back bone and stop caring about how others are going to feel and be more concerned about how I am going to feel.  So far I think it is working pretty well.

I now get to look at other people's relationships and realize that I have learned so much.  Even through the hurt I have become a more knowledgeable person and I have grown through the messed up drama I dealt with.  An added bonus is I have come to find out that people were truly entertained by my stories about my messed up love life.  I enjoy adding a humorous spin so it is now likened to watching Jersey Shore... because people realized that their drama wasn't quite as bad as mine.  I'm glad I have a good sense of humor and can relate my stories for people to be entertained.  I was watching Sex and the City the other day... I wish I could write like "Carrie Bradshaw" because I'm sure I could write an amazing column on relationships.

Moving on... My diploma came in the mail this week.  It went to my parent's house so I will get it this weekend when they come through to go to Minnesota.  When I get it I'll put up a pic on facebook.  This is just reminding me that my Grad program starts soon!  I'm kind of afraid of what the homework load is going to be but excited to be done with school in just 2 more years.  I look back on the past 4 and all of the amazing people that have been a part of my life.  Sometimes it seems like just yesterday I moved into the Freshman dorms and began living life without my parents... however sometimes it seems like ages ago.  A new chapter of my life is about to begin and I am excited to see how it is written (hopefully there will be a job written in there pretty quick!). 

Other than that I don't have much to write about.  I have been reading Harry Potter lately.  Just about to start the 5th book.  I am sad that the last movie is out and the end of an era is over.  Such an entertaining series and the books are so much more detailed than the movies!  I can't believe I am just starting to read them now!

I was hoping this post would take up more of my shift but alas... I still have 45 min of boredom.  I'll try to write more often.  I just don't know what to write about.
