and it’s just not like me
so things with the boy are very, very good. we treat each other well and that is new for me. it’s been 2.5 months and we haven’t had a single fight yet, probably largely in part because when i get moody he doesn’t let it turn into a fight, he just hugs me and tells me he loves me and how can i make that a fight? and our relationship is fun–we still go on dates all the time and we are both the most competitive people you will ever meet so everything is a serious competition, from volleyball to scrabble to rock paper scissors. we went to summer camp for grownups by livingsocial in upstate new york a few weeks ago and it was pretty much exactly what it sounds like and so awesome. we’ve been hitting up fairs and are planning on the big E this friday, went to toby keith/eric church concert last week and tailgated with his friends all day long…it’s just fun.
but of course, i can only have one category of my life go right at a time so the rest of life is extremely effed up. i’ve come to the realization that i will never be able to do anything with my degree and i have given up searching in my field. i’m now looking for any type of administrative/office job that i can find and contemplating on going back to school, possibly for a paralegal certificate. i really felt like nutrition was my passion and i really wanted to change people’s lives like jillian micheals but now i just feel hopeless and i’m scared i can’t even get hired to answer phones and make copies (and guys, i have no idea how to make copies). and i’m frustrated that i worked my ass off to have the highest gpa in my major at uconn and now i’m so stuck.
there’s more, i could write about how awful my job is right now (gymnastics), or how my body seems to be falling apart but i think that’s enough complaining for now. i’m babysitting jordyn and aly and they just went to bed and soon their parents will be here and i’m heading to dan’s to crawl into bed with him and try my best not to think.
Hey, at least that aspect of your life is doing well. Not a lot of people can juggle having multiple things going well at once – one (if we’re lucky) or a few things tend to be equally crappy most of the time.

i’m so excited you updated, i’ve been wondering. i’m so happy for your relationship you deserve someone like this. as for making copies i had a job like that once they’re nice they’ll show you and your one of the smartest people i know you learn quickly, dont stress about it. i wish i had a summer camp to play at.

is there anyway you can get an internship? could you start volunteering in the field now and reapply for next year? my friend aimee did nutrition at purdue and did get an internship right out of college, thank god, but i know it was seriously stressful for her and i know that a LOT of her classmates were **** out of luck. i’m glad you have a good boyfriend. if nothing else, it’snice to have someone to suport you
