Ponderings on this past week...

The past few days have been, if nothing else, enlightening and some of the happiest times I've had since the semester started. They've also been uttlerly and insanely frustrating and maddening to no degree. Either way, I'm relieved that it's one o'clock at the top of the week and simply that as of an hour ago, last week is officially over. I mentioned ponderings in my title, so here they are:

1) Most of the time, it is beyond difficult to be a model Christian. Maintaining a strict, conservative regimen from day to day in light of college debauchery that is mounds of alcohol and sex 24/7 is like asking an alcoholic who's just gotten out of rehab not to dive into a gigantic vat of Sam Adams. It's hard.

2) Living with your once-best friend is just like # 1, it's hard. Especially since the things that broke us up stemmed from us being roomates. Like her incessant criticism and negativity. Hey, there are some things you can't help like your rhinocerous-snoring but there are other things that you can change to not make your roomate want to jump out the window.

3) Why do guys that you haven't talked to for months, let alone ever been close to suddenly find you on AIM only to hit you with flattery (aka flirtation) every other second? What does this mean? Why are you doing this, especially since you know this must feel awkward? I dislike it when men flirt when they know that nothing will come out of it, that it can't or that you don't want it to. But some of that isn't necessarily their fault.

4) It ALSO stinks when you're roomate has had a falling out with a certain person, and then your happen to become really good friends with that person later on. It's just really and unnecessarily awkward. I know that she assumes that said person and I gab about her all the time, which just isn't true. But she thinks it. She thinks a lot of things, but instead of talking it out with me she talks constantly to her boyfriend, who is a New Jersian as well and only fuels her hatred towards everything. But I've complained and complained about this subject and I'm not going to complain anymore right now.

5) One should never ponder too much. It simply isn't good for your mental well-being.

6) Friends are the greatest. I say, just surround yourself with your best friends as much as you can, and you'll be happy.

Final thought: my hands are really soft, thanks to various hand salves from Bath and Body Works (only the greatest store in Oak Hollow Mall!)
