It's Been a Long Time...
Wow. It's been a long time. A long, long time. It is September, summer is over and I am back at school now. And, it's been an experience. Tons of things I could write about, but I'd attempt to cram all the summers events into on blong entry, and well, that wouldn't work would it?What I learned this summer:
1.) Boys will be boys (and I like them that way)
2.) How to get along with co-workers that formally disliked you (I actually think I gained their respect this summer)
3.) That my mom, supports me unltimately, in choosing a graduate school, no matter where it is (ok, only is if is NYS or Mass, but still...)
4.) You can outgrow your friends
5.) London changed my life. Period.
What facinated me this summer, was my relationships with guys. To them, I was just a girl who worked with them. But, they changed my outlook abou guys and things. Before, honestly I never really craved the attention of guys (mostly because they were way older than me) but I got some good attention from guys that I did not consider them unattractive. I have had more guys touch me than ever before in my life. I am talking massages, hugs, just very touchy feely stuff. I actually had a guy say that I was comfortable, or whatever that means...cushiony or something? I don't know. So anyway, he was the one giving me random massages...and he sure knew what he was doing. And I wouldn't even have to ask! That was the good part....only, I found out at the end of summer that he had a girlfriend...and whatnot. You know, guys, just cannot be trusted. BUt I wonder if she would have seriously freaked if she found out? It was just a massage right? I don't even know why he did it.
This summer I found out, I could be pretty attractive (I never thought I was butt ugly, but nothing particularly special either)
I was told, a couple of times by guys: "You are really pretty"(w/o prompting them)
asked "Do you have a boyfriend?" and if I did not, "Why? You are not ugly, you should have one" (I laughed at his requirement for having one) He was also the one, who on my last day, made me a breakfast sandwhich of and egg, bacon and bagel! Which I thought was a nice gesture. It wasn't until later, when he said "Tomorrow I am off (tomorrow was my going to be my last day) and asked for me to give him a hug. Weird. I don't get it. So he must have done the breakfast thing as a last minute gesture.
I think, either you get me, or you don't. No inbetween, or anything. I really think this is true.
Last summer, if someone told me all this was going to happen, I would not have really believed them, since I DREADED going back this summer..honestly, and when I called the com pany, they said I was never even sent a "are you coming back again" letter! And if I hadn't called, I would have never gotten it. So, this all furthers my belief that everything happens for a reason. Everything. As a result, I feel more comfortable with them now...more than I ever really did before. And apparently I have no qualms about a guy with a girlfriend making me breakfast or giving me a massage....
