I've heard love compared to having a handful of sand: the tighter you squeeze it, the faster it falls away. I've come to realize time's the same way. We're already about a quarter of the way through the semester...how did this happen?! I still have yet to get my footing.
My Student Teaching application appeared in my mailbox yesterday. Waves of anxiety, fear, and excitement (mostly the first two, not gonna lie) rolled over me when I read it...and the first two grew as I read the details of how much of my life for next school year I'll be signing away with that application. Well, what better time to be sent to who knows where than when I have minimal things tying me to any specific place?
Sooo I had my first clubbing experience Saturday night. That was interesting. Lincoln's a college town; this was a college bar. It was mobbed. We went to this specific place because the cover was cheap, the drinks were cheap, and the second floor was a dance floor. It was just a loft that made me feel slightly claustrophobic, actually. The group was 3 girls and a guy. That was a great combination, though. It started off slow and pretty anticlimactic, but it was great once the dance floor filled up and we just let loose. We danced with a few guys who are now known as Blackshirt/Sir Humps-a-lot (named in honor of his dancing style...awkward), Random Asian Man, Striped Shirt Guy, and (most recently named...) Swine Flu. We were there for a few hours until Swine Flu decided it'd be a good idea to take one of us girls downstairs...the rest of us were NOT okay with splitting up at all and put the kabosh on that pretty quickly; we leftly shortly afterwards.
Summary:
Having at least one good guy friend in group: Wonderful.
Dancing: Great.
Drinks: Yummy (except the Starburst shot).
Random men: Umm, okay?
Messin' with my friends: Ha, good luck!
Willingness to go dancing again: Highly probable.
The Superbowl on Sunday was enjoyed in the company of a large group of friends at a pizza place in a neighboring town which is owned by the godfather (such a sweet and fun guy!) of one of said friends. When I say "enjoyed", I mean the commercials. During game time I was working on the blanket I'm currently crocheting (almost done!). It's kinda ceased to be as big of a deal to watch the football part when a) it's not my team and (especially) b) I'm not with my family.
On the list of other new experiences is the fact that I'll be starting to apartment hunt very soon for places in town for summertime and the fall semester. Yikes! I've been asking around about some of the things I need to keep in mind, but I still barely know where to begin. This is another adventure, and I'm pretty excited about it. It's just another step forward. :)

I've been in love with Dorothy Parker ever since I read "Unfortunate Coincidence" sophomore year of high school. Anything bashing men and/or love I am game for.
Time does indeed go fast, but it sounds like you are pretty optimistic, seeing the future as an adventure and not a horror film where you don't want to open the door. That's great. :-) And really, everything is an adventure, or at least a learning experience.
