I never thought I'd say this, but who knew orthopedics can be so...BORING?!? My mind began to wander after only 20 minutes of listening to the professor drone about the gait cycle today. Usually, I'd at least pretend I'm taking notes until half way through the hour. Recent word of the end of a friend's dating dry spell occupied my thoughts. The news sounded serendipitous. They met unexpectedly. A dinner. A dance. A third date. I'm having whiplash just hearing about events as they unfold. My head, meanwhile, is spinning with questions. How does one go about breaking a (?) year dry spell in 3 days? Is this engineering, or plain luck, or a senior spring fling that could probably use some speedbumps? More importantly, am I channeling Carrie Bradshaw?
Relationships have been on my mind recently, and not just the one my wonderful friend is enjoying. My one year anniversary with Mike is approaching. According to the 'romantic package' planner on Orbitz.com, 'Bed & Breakfast' getaways are' so' for my grandparents. It's about rock climbing and sweatiness for today's couples. In finding ways to properly celebrate my bliss, however, I am reminded of those who are less fortunate, namely, my single friends who undoubtedly will send me hate mail after reading this blog. Just kidding, they don't really read this blog.
If you are reading, these friends of mine in faraway (and not so far away) places, I hope that you will find the wonderful people that you deserve. It does rain in the dessert, and when it does, may it be a torrential storm.
Oh, but showers are nice, too.

Ooh! The happy new couple better not involve anyone I know, or you're in trouble for not sharing immediately.
And if you promise to quit angsting every time you glance at someone not your wonderful boyfriend, we, Single People USA, will promise not to bug you. Not until approximately February 10, when we'll dress in ninja suits and engage in public acts of minor destruction involving gelignite and cheap chocolate.
As someone who love has recently kicked in the nuts and left me for dead, I think I can safely say that we are all really happy for you anyway. :-D You and Mike deserve to be happy, because you two are awesome.
But you guys throwing another party with great home-made food (especially the brie) will help ensure that we don't feel jealous. :-P
