Half-Asleep

Word of the week: emotional.

This week has just been a 'splosion of everyone's emotions, and I don't really understand why that is.

I've dealt with a friend who is dying, a friend who's heart is willingly being broken, a friend that I never meant to leave behind as I have, and then a night full of hall drama--and The Fritz does NOT have hall drama. I really didn't understand.

Implications for Laura? Staying up late every night, making sure that I was listening to those who needed to be listened to as well as working out my own emotions through conversation. Because here's the deal--a lot of the perceived problems all related back to a lack of communication. And I have a fixer mentality (as many do) so that  I don't like it when things just sit, I want to work through them or I do not sleep.

End of the semester pressure is coming on. There are a lot of things to do before Uganda gets here, and only five weeks to do them. I have also been neglecting relationships, which has made them fall into disrepair, and that's all my fault.

Oh, the wonderful world of being human.

On a brighter note:
-hall drama ended in about 24 hours
-Lisa, Alyssa, Kait, and I got lava cakes at Chile's
-babysitting's been great this week
-the sun has been out. a lot
-I've listened to a ton of country music this week, and I used to hate country
-I'm about to be able to sleep for ten hours

And, today I found a last relic of the relationship that has been in the back of a drawer for some time now. It was a small beanie bear with a "D" sown to it. I haven't really been sure what to do with it. I was looking it over today and finally just grabbed a pair of scissors and snipped off the "D". And now I have a small teddy I can enjoy.

This is creativity at work.
