As usual, I have bounced back. Life should never hold you back. People should never hold you back. Always take time to grieive, but not for too long. Of course everyone want to sit and mope for a while, but it can’t be done for too long. If you mope for too long, those emotions can turn into depression – and no one likes a depressed person, right? With this in mind, I have continued on with my life journey. This is not the end of the world. Although Joseph is a wonderful human being (and this is me being really candid here), he is not the end of the world. I’m not the end of world. NO ONE is the end of the world. I don’t care how long you have been with someone, but they should never be the end all be all in life. There are billions of people on earth, there are others. I’m sorry that I won’t get to share in the wonderfulness that would have been, but like I always say, “Everything happens for a reason.”

Alright. I’m sitting in the library right now. This is my first time in here. I’m a bit scared, but I’ll be fine. This is WAY bigger than the SGC library. There are actually five floors (I think) to the library. I’m on the fourth floor. I have a test in Rhetoric of Social Movements tomorrow. A little worried? You bet. I’m I stressing? A little. But I’m not letting this get to me. Like I mentioned in a previous post, the Professor in this class said that we won’t remember half the material we learned in the class, but it is the skills that we will take away. That is the mindset that I’m taking with these classes and tests. I am no longer going to stress myself out to the point of utter exhaustion just to make a high grade on a test. I will study hard, do my best, and move on. Being stressed out is not fun. That’s how I missed my graduation—by stressing and worrying. No more. The same people who strolled into class everyday at SGC and talked about their weekends on the dirt road and how they got so messed up they weren’t even able to walk straight graduated with me. Now of course I realize that these people probably graduated with a less than stellar grade point average, but, they graduated. I will do my best, have fun, and work hard. NO MAJOR STRESSING. I need to post this on my bedroom door or something. I’ve made so many proclamations on this blog, but I want to follow through on this one. NO MAJOR STRESSING.

Thursday I had lunch with Edgar and Brandon. It was nice to meet up with old SGC folks and compare our time here at GSU to our alma mater. I had a blast this weekend. Even though I should have been locked up the entire time studying, I actually went out and had some fun. Friday afternoon I went with Luke and Adam to a Mexican restaurant here in town. They got sloshed, I told part of my life story, fun was had. (SIDENOTE: Wow, since I’ve been here in the library, I’ve seen two folks from Roswell high here, good to know we took those study habits from high school to college. Ha) We went to Office max where I bought a new office chair for my office in the apartment. (1 YAY for spending money on a chair) I’m not saying how much the chair cost. ;) After all of that, I went home, cleaned up my office for my chair, studied, and went to bed. Such an exciting Friday night, I know. Saturday was a blast. Adam, Luke and I went to Savannah for some good ole’ queer shopping. We went to the Savannah where I bolted like any proud gay man would to Express. I was planning on buying a shirt or cheap pair of pants. WELL, I ended up walking out with two pair of pants, two shirts, and two belts. That doesn’t seem like a lot, but when you look at the bill. WOW. (5 YAYs for spending lot’s of money on cool clothes) Oh, and I ended up with an Express credit card. Damn them. Oh, and I also met up with Phillip P—he’s a guy I met last spring at the S.A.C.’s meeting. He’s the SGA President at Armstrong. We may hang out at some point. Cool guy. Oh, and I got Luke to buy a pair of pants and a shirt from Express. (3 YAYs for helping straight guys look better. Maybe they should make a slot for me on Queer Eye for the Straight Guy?) Adam ended up buying a pair of shoes that I own. (I will chop his knee caps off for trying to be like me. heehaw) After all was said and done with clothes, we headed over to the Macaroni Grill for some good Italian food. Of course I had chicken parmesan. Is there anything else to eat at an Italian restaurant, well besides pizza? After that, we went to the a water fountain and took pictures there. That’s where the picture down there came from. I need to get the others and post them. Luke and Adam made a stop at the liquor store for some refreshments. (0 YAYs for being underage and not a drinker.) After we got back, I took some clothes over to Luke’s and got some much needed laundry done. Bless his soul. Sunday was fairly uneventful. Woke up. Studied. Went to dj meeting for the radio station. Studied some more. Went to sleep. Now it’s Monday. Another week.

Well, five John Mayer songs later, I have reached the end. I have no more in me. Well I do, but we have to safe some for the private journal. Ha.

Off to study away the night.

Good day!

**Make that THREE RHS folks I’ve seen here in the library. Would this classify as a reunion?
