Brightening...

Today was pretty good.  And rather interesting.


I was slightly late to class, though we watched an interesting video.  And choir was pretty good, though slightly frustrating.


We even got our project slightly figured out, so we have a bit more of an idea where we are going with it.  That was a huge stress relief for our group.  We now have a conscious direction to go in and we know have a really good idea of what we are doing.


I felt pretty cute today and I felt like I got a lot accomplished.  I've been in the library for 3 hours now, and I've so far completed 4 assignments and I watched a TV show on Hulu for another assignment/class discussion on Friday.  I am currently completing assignment number 5. 


Today has been a good day, and it's so far been 3 days with 0 texts to or from Jake.  I am feeling so good about that.  He called me a liar the other day, and I do not need people like that in my life.  I do miss his friendship, though, like the times we sat and talked religion for hours, or when he came over to watch movies with me and we ended up talking about politics or books, instead or watching the movie.


But a lot of times, he wanted me to argue with him, and he always put me down.  He always called my thoughts and feelings irrational and silly. 


And I just really don't need someone like that in my life.  I've had too many of those kinds of people that nearly ruined my life, and I do not need another one.


So I'm going to make these 3 days turn into 4, and then 5 and then a week.  Then 2 weeks, a month.  If he texts/calls me wanting to talk about whatever he percieves to have happened, then that is fine, but I am not going to take the initiative to make contact with him.  And I am not going to confide in him any longer.


Things are looking brighter.  My life is brightening.  And I am pleased.
