Can't Sleep, Too Excited...

Things have been looking up for me over the past week or two, it seems that I've been receiving good news and good luck in most areas of my life.

I finally got in contact with the math lab coordinator after a summer of receiving no replies to my calls and emails. She has spoken with my adviser and says she can help me get the hours I need this semester. Combine this with the news that I am getting a big refund check from UNT after juggling around my class schedule, it looks as if I can quit my convenient store job within the next 2 or 3 weeks. I'm so excited that I want to turn in my two weeks notice NOW, but I gotta wait and make sure that I don't get shorted at the math lab on hours. Must stay calm, can't jump the gun. Good things come to me when I am patient. I can hardly wait, its going to be like Braveheart! I'll be screaming FREEEEEDOOOOM! Except I won't be getting my testicles removed.

Enough about that...

So, I'm interested in a new girl. I hate being in this stage, of liking but not dating. Usually I can't make the right moves at the right time. The right things to do and say are in my head but I can't guarantee that's what will come out. BLARG. Previous girlfriends of mine have asked in conversations about when we first met, "Remember that time we were watching that movie (or some other thing we did together)? Why didn't you try to hold my hand or make a move?" My answer was always that I was too nervous or that I wasn't sure if they wanted me to. Historically speaking, almost all of the girls I've dated made the first move. But I have to change that this time, or else I may lose her. I'm pretty good at telling if someone likes me though, and I don't want to let this one get away. Can't let my shyness get the best of me again. But I'm feeling good vibes here. The only girls I felt this good about ended up dating me for a few years.

So with excitement of a woman and the future of my employment weighing heavily on my mind, I am finding it quite difficult to go to sleep tonight. Not to mention the strange schedule they've saddled me with at work this week. Monday 1:30pm-9:30pm, Tuesday 4:00am-8:00am, Wednesday 6:00pm-9:00pm, Thursday 8:00am-2:00pm, Friday 4:00am-8:00am, Saturday 7:00am-3:00pm. Makes me want to scream. AHH. Just a few more stupid work days and then, ahhh, the weekend.

Now, where did I leave my pillow...
