The Great Divorce
“What we believe is based on our perceptions. What we perceive depends on what we look for. What we look for depends on what we think. What we think depends on what we perceive. What we perceive determines what we take to be true. What we take to be true is our reality.” ~Zukav
Things have been going well lately, but I really need to start doing things. I think Senoritis has definitely kicked in and it isn’t make things any easier. School is important and I need to remember that, but I just don’t have the desire to sit down and study like I used to be able to. However, that is going to change.
Tuesday Harvey and I went out for Single’s Awareness Day like we always do. When I was walking to the restaurant to meet up with him, I ran into Darry and Dulce. They had gone to the restaurant that Harvey and I were meeting at. It was funny to see them on the street, window shopping. They make a cute couple and I learning to appreciate Dulce more. She is a nice woman with a good heart, we just don’t have that much in common.
Harvey and I had a great time at dinner. Joking around and him telling me about his job. We haven’t been hanging out a lot lately, so it’s nice to know what’s going on in his world. We were discussing that we haven’t traveled lately and that we need to have another trip. It’s been a year and a half since we went to Mexico together. So we decided during dinner that we would plan a holiday. We weren’t sure when we were going to go, but we decided that Seattle was good. I haven’t been back to Seattle since we moved here and Harvey has never been. So we are planning on going in April and I’ll give him the grand tour. I’ll even make sure we take the ferry’s to Victoria. I miss Seattle.
I didn’t go to my internship this week because things have been absolutely crazy. My female boss is in Paris this week and my male boss is working at a different hospital this week so they called me and told me not to come in because no one would be in the office. Okay, I don’t mind. That gave me all of Tuesday to finish a book for one class and all of today to finish another. Although, I would actually like to do something in my internship.
Charles and I had made plans to go to lunch on Tuesday, but he realized he had a lunch meeting that day. So we were going to reschedule for Thursday but he has a lunch meeting with the boss and all the new people that day. He asked me if I would be offended if we rescheduled for next Tuesday. I told him not to worry and that I was looking forward to it.
This weekend is crazy and I don’t even know what is happening. Pate’s 21st birthday is this weekend and I think she is having a party at her flat on Friday. I think Vinnie is going, but I need to ring him and make sure. If he isn’t, I’m only going to pop in for a bit. I like having a buddy at parties. Terena called me yesterday and left a message on my phone telling me that she was going to Pate’s party and that she would ride with me. I didn’t know I was driving, first of all. Secondly, I don’t want to go to this party with Terena. I know that is mean, but Terena is very self-involved and it gets old after a while. If there isn’t a project to focus on, it is a little difficult to focus her on something other than herself. So I don’t know what I’m going to do. Was thinking about lying and telling her that I was going with the guys and that I wasn’t driving, but that is mean and I shouldn’t do that. Oh well, I’ll call Vinnie later and see what him and Manny are planning on doing.
I need to call Gina and figure out what is going on Saturday night. I really have no clue and would like to know what is going down. I offered up my place to her Sunday through text, but she never got back to me. I don’t know what that means, if anything. We shall see what comes of this whole thing.
Darry, Dulce and I are going to dinner tonight to celebrate Dulce and my birthdays. Are birthdays are right after each other and we have been so busy that we haven’t gotten together to celebrate. So that is the plan for tonight. Now, back to my book, The Great Divorce.

The Great Divorce by Lewis. Need to put that on my reading list. Of course, you know what the Little Prince thinks: us adults are too concerned about figures and lists. 😉 Sounds like you’ve got a busy weekend planned out. Have fun, and enjoy yourself! I just woke over here, still clearing the cobwebs out of my head. Take care.

i would totally lie to terena, i always used to be the person who would do things i didn’t want to because i felt bad, then i lost all patience all at once 😀 i’ve always wanted to go to seattle, it seems so beautiful and ‘clean’. i had the worst senioritis when i was in college. my grades took a serious beating senior year.
