Journal Malto's Journal: On life, my problems, and other contemplations 3

Well, I was asleep up until about 20 minutes ago, when I woke up and just wasn't tired anymore. It's probably just knowing that school starts so soon and all of that. I'm pretty excited that maybe I'll make more friends and I'll spend less time alone here in this chair with no one more than the pup to keep me company. I mean my friends that I've always had are great, but it's not like I can count on my inner circle (of about two.. at least in Searcy), to keep me company all the time. So anyway, maybe being around people more often will make life more interesting and fun. I'm sure this next semester will be pretty rough, but I'm really thinking that I can handle it.

Well, life is still no cake walk, but it's not like it ever is. I feel like I'm heading in the right direction, but it is a continual battle.

While I was still in bed awake this morning, I was considering the person I was when I first made it here to college. I am very glad that I'm not that person any more. I was so naive. I really feel like I was just a different person. Different friends, different way of life, different attitude. Actually, some of my friends have made the trip with me, but most are still back where I left them two years ago. What can you say? Life marches on.

Now, girls. There is no relationship going on between me any any girls right now that is anything other than friends. Sure there were prospects, even up to a couple weeks ago, but all that is gone. I'm not desperate for a relationship by any means. I don't think I ever have felt desperate at any time since maybe Jr High or High school, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't welcome a relationship should it come along. I am pretty much always just wanting something to happen, but not wanting to force it to happen since that would be a great deal more trouble in the end than being single.

Now, finally. I ordered a few parts for the Corvette a couple days ago, so I should have it running in a couple weeks. I really can't wait. It's been so long since I've been able to drive that thing around town. I really can't wait to get it running again.

Anyway, I'm going to do the responsible thing and start my first school day off before 6 even. It's off to Wal-Mart for some school supplies and the like. Much love yall.
