My Wonderful and Busy Life

I figured out why I was tired on Thursday. I came down with a cold the next day and then spent most of Saturday in bed trying to sleep it off. Thank God sleep seems to have worked because between school and work I do not have time to be sick.

I only had one class today and it was this morning but I have a whole book to read for tomorrow, poems to comment on for classmates and then more handouts to read for Wednesday as well as laundry, grocery shopping, food to cook and well, the list goes on. I can see that the rest of my life is going to be busy isn't it? Maybe that is just me.

I remember that in high school when I didn't have a play going on I would be bored a lot. Maybe I need that constant stimulation of running around. The stress and the constant doing things. It makes the days go by faster. Especially when I am busy doing things I have fun doing, like acting or sometimes school work. It certainly makes me appreciate when I do get down time. Days where Garret and I just lounge around watching House all day and eating whatever we like are few and far between but they seem like heaven to me. I guess I'm like my mom in that way. When I do get a day off very often I would rather sit at home and watch a movie than go out and party. Not that partying isn't fun or that I don't need some of that every now and again too but I find I am happiest just here in the apartment with people I love.

I'm really glad that most of the time Garret is more than happy to oblige to spending the evening quietly at home and even more glad that when I do find I need to get out and have fun he is willing to oblige me in that too.

I also have awesome friends. I love that when they come to visit me they don't expect us to go out to parties and get drunk. I like that they don't mind staying home with me to watch movies or to make late night random trips to Walmart. I also like that despite this they still invite me out to a night club occasionally because they know that even if I don't drink I LOVE to dance! I like that they know I can be comfortable in both places. I love that all my friends are different too. Some are wild like Heather and Jenna. Others are homebodies who occasionally like to go out like me, Alice, Lindsey and Mel. I like that most of them are just happy to sit and talk. I feel like we can have fun doing anything. I'm really lucky to have so many people in my life that care about me and who are fun to be around.
