Chutes and Ladders


These past two weeks have been all over the place. I'm fairly sure I'm viewed as a pretty calm person who keeps it together, but not here. Its easy to be that way in Clemson where I have so many people I can rely on in the blink-of an eye. On the other hand, being up here has a much higher potential for excitement, newness...etc. Its a tradeoff.

This past weekend a guy asked me out on a date for Tuesday, and invited me to come to the shore to a friends' beach condo. Another guy and girl I knew were going (and they aren't a couple), so I decided to go. It was fun! The beach is beautiful, and I love reading outside. It was all group time, so I didn't have any deep one-on-one conversations with the guy where I felt I got to know him better as a person.

When we got back, I went to the store, and bought a cute dress I found on sale. I wasn't super pumped about the date, but it was supposed to be spanish tapas. Delicious! All day Tuesday I waited for him to tell me if he was picking me up, or if I should meet him in the city. Nothing. I left work, got home, took Rufus out and still no time or directions. I assumed he had forgotten. Even though he had put it in his phone calendar. Today I instant messaged him, asked him about the rest of his weekend, etc... he didn't say anything about the date.

On the other hand. I met a really really nice girl from SC at work. Her Dad runs a canning plant in Florence which I have incidentally been to. She majored in Packaging at Clemson, and she goes to a sister Church of my Church up here. She also has semi redish hair. We have a lot in common!
