I'm watching a focus group webcast right now, and I'm having a hard time staying awake. I'm just not feeling very motivated at work lately--maybe because I'm not really sure as to what is going on because things keep changing all the time. Who knows? Every day I feel more and more inclined to start my own freelance business. I need a new challenge--something to really sink my teeth into.
The good news is that I finished my Master's program earlier this month and graduated with honors. I didn't go to the ceremony--didn't want to spend the $75 on a polyester gown (even if I got to wear the funky hood thing). I just remember being tired, hot, and hungover for my undergraduate ceremony, so I decided to spare myself this time. Instead, R and I did a volunteer project where we got to paint murals on the walls of an elementary school on the South Side. Much more beneficial in my opinion.
I also just got back from Florida with R and his family. I had a great time (in spite of the fact that I got horribly seasick while deep-sea fishing and puked twice in the boat's bathroom. (It'll be a long time before I'm able to eat nacho cheese Doritos again.) I got along with his family very well, and I also felt a lot closer to him by the end of the trip. He sent me the nicest e-mail yesterday in which he mentioned that he'd "fallen hard for me." I definitely feel the same way about him.
I'm really starting to believe that timing has a lot to do with relationships. For instance, the first time R and I dated, the timing didn't seem to be right for either of us, and it ended in disaster. This time all the stars seemed to be in alignment (or something like that), and everything has progressed so naturally and smoothly.
I don't want to jinx anything, but I have to admit I've got a good feeling about this...
