Friends New and Old

Very sorry I didn't write yesterday. I didn't get out of work until almost 11 and I didn't get home until midnight. Then I had homework, showering and I wanted sometime with my love so I didn't have any left to post. I figured that since I only have a hand full of readers at most and that most of you are probably trying to catch up from last time when I posted so much that no one would mind too much.

Today has been a pretty good day. Work was long and there were a lot of customer complaints but at least I did my best to take care of it as well as all of my closing stuff. I also got out of work only a little bit after 6 which gave me ample time to get to the retirement party for a guy I work with. It was nice to sit down with most of the people I work with and just talk. The people who have managed to stick around Staples in the year that I have been there have been great.

After I got home I was also able to see my friend, Mel. I have missed her so much. Since she has left Farmington I have been lost without her. I just don't have as many friends here as I would like to and we have been very close pretty much since we met. I hope that she knows that encouraging her to leave and do what was best for herself was extremely hard for me. I hope she knows how much I wish I could have begged her to stay if only for me.

Friends are so strange. Whenever you try to make them you fail. True friends seem to just sort of fall together. And they stick together because of the hard times that they conquer together. I had a lot of really great friends in high school. There was Julia, Steve, Faucher, Heather, Jenna, Chucky and Alice. I also have my cousin Coty. But for some reason finding those types of connections in college has been more difficult. What is it that has made finding friends so hard?

There is one person I got to know last semester that I have started to really bond with and I'm glad I have found her. I hope that friendship lasts as long as some of my others. I could really use another close friend here in Farmington.
