I’m Learning: Three

I entered “‘falafels’ ‘dublin’” into Google and the 5th thing to come up was a blog post of mine: Falafels, Magnums, Business Attire… oh my!
That says something.

Yesterday was frustrating. I found myself hating Herlihy and his lack of planning skills and how unpleasant he is. However, I enjoyed “reading” the articles with some other folks last night. I only read one though, and it was the short one. Mostly it was just sitting in the room while others read. And laughing after Julio came in fuming about the Her and the staring incident. However, I did pass both quizzes today… though I did put true for all of them and hoped for the best.

Sometimes it’s nice to take a break from too much talking. It’s nice to watch and obvserve others. And laugh.

I think I fell in love in my dream last night. Or rather, someone fell in love with me. Wishing I could remember details.

I’ve lived in Florida my entire life and lived through several hurricanes and countless thunderstorms, but I have never been so frightened by thunder. A storm came rolling through this morning around 4 and got my heart pounding right away. I swear the lightning struck right outside my window. Seriously scared me. The loudest crack of thunder.

Got on a bus at 7 this morning. Famine and country life museums and 7 or 8 hours of bus time. Too much bus time. Such a long day. So glad to be in bed again.

Danielle and I have had a Magnum a day for the past three days.

I’ve realized how much I still classify all skinny/pretty/etc people into a category that I don’t fit into. Eventually I talk to them and realize that I can be friends with them too. Or I talk to them and realize I’ve just placed them in this box that in my mind is better or more aesthetically pleasing than I can be. This happens often. I feel I reverted to someone else part of the time I’ve been around other people here. Also, I’ve been preferring to just be relaxing and chilled. In general, I’m me… Plus I’m reading Love again and that makes you want to be you.

Tomorrow I can sleep in. And that is wonderful. The plans for tomorrow include Public Enemies with a bag of candy, maybe Queen of Tarts and Phoenix Park. We shall see.

Friends, I miss you.
