Today, I got into the USC School of Theatre and Boston College (win!). That gives me five schools so far! FIVE! How exciting! I woke up and went shopping with my mom and sister at Target after a lunch at Yellow Vase. Then, I came home and quickly changed into my beach gear to hang out with Mark in Hermosa Beach. We just relaxed on our towels on the sand and talked... but then it got FREEZING cold and we booked it to a Starbucks to warm up. We called Justin, Molly, and Jason to meet us up for dinner. I then zoomed to an awesome tap class with Jon Engstrom, returned home, and speed-cleaned up my room before going to Mark's house to play a little Trivial Pursuit with the dinner peeps. After the game, we contemplated sleeping over, but because Molly wasn't, I decided not to. We then sat in the jacuzzi for literally two hours prune-ing and talking about everything and anything. It was great. I love these people so much... it's going to be tough to leave them next year.
One of the things I said about myself that I would change in our little chat was that I'm too emotionally attached to people... which is true. I'm generally extremely relationship-oriented, which can be good and bad. The pros are that it makes me get close to people quickly, allows me to make lasting and meaningful relationships, and gives me a good foundation of friends I can truly rely on. The cons are that I get emotionally attached to people who can't reciprocate it, which is tough, that I have a hard time letting go of relationship-related issues, and that I miss people too much when they're absent. I feel like things that are supposed to happen with people and relationships are extremely monumental to me... like sex, for example (I won't go into my detailed feelings about this here).
Right now, I'm reconnecting (and newly (?) connecting) on a closer level to a lot of people extremely quickly, and I really like it, but I know it's going to make it that much harder when suddenly I can't see them for months at a time...
With that I should probably sleep. My goal for getting my room completely done by five hours ago obviously failed miserably. Tomorrow, I plan to hang out with people, clean my room completely, and ride my horses.
Goodnight!
