T minus 45 days

Status: moderate Jen's 21st bday extravoganza

School has taken over my life. Along with my internship I got on Monday writing an article a week for Miwaukeehappyhour.com the schoolwork has been piling up. It's only the 2nd week of school...I don't think this is a good sign if I'm stressed out already. On top of that, I need to be sure to make sure Erika is getting enough "lea time." Gosh, I really hate the fact that I feel like this. Needing to please her all the time. I know I shouldn't care that much, but it's always on my mind. Tuesday was our old roommate and friend from across the hall's 21st birthday so of course I needed to celebrate with them. I really shouldn't have gone out. I had work get done. An interview to prepare for (that's today...yikes!) But, I felt obligated to. I felt like Erika and and Jen would think I was a bad friend for not going out....even though I am going on Friday to celebrate her birthday- again. So, I went out.


We had fun out on Water Street. By midnight I was ready to go home. I vowed not to stay out very late. Preparation for my interview and other homework was piling up fast and I needed to be in the right mindset to do it the next day--not just sleep my hangover away. So 1230 am was the latest I would stay out. I told my friends I was leaving, minus Jen because, lets face it- she wouldn't remmber if i was there or not anyways. And also minus Erika because she was nowhere to be found, lost somewhere inbetween the slew of drunken people. I was kind of glad I couldn't find her to tell her because i was afraid she would yell at me and get mad. Why am I such a wimp?....Anyways, Chris picked me up and I got a nice, decent night of sleep, I suppose you could say.
The next day however, I could tell by the way she was acting- not as friendly and talkative--that she wasn't happy about my choice to leave. Things were looking up too. We even were daydreaming about going shopping for the Keys and what we would wear. Now I have to start over again. It's like baby steps. I take one step forward and two steps back.
