after a wonderful weekend with the boy at the dolly sods…it’s now back to work. its now back to tending to what i put off all weekend in order to “relax” in the secluded wet wilderness with the person i love the most. back to school crap. no, but its good. at least i like doing work that has some type of purpose. even though i have a lot to do.
well first off, my “love weekend” started off with an enjoyable and oh so rare friday day together!!! jon got to come to campus to see my “work”. luckily there were some crazies in the office. and i got to show off the best boyfriend in the world to them. we topped our evening off with a nice hour and a half in front of the tele watching the first presidential debate…GO OBAMA!!!! But honestly this was short lived as we had to head home for some good sleep before our venture into the wilderness. but the next day our prompt and early start was put off to the side for some much needed snuggling and loving-ness.
but we finally got our butts up and out of bed to begin our love weekend in the woods. it was wet. sometimes cold. very muddy. not the most comfortable. but with jonathan i felt safe and relaxed. i love him no matter where i am: in the middle of morgantown or secluded in the damp woods. he is the best for me.

its quiet in the office, for now. god only knows that once its 11:30 + that this place will be a whirlwind of excited and overworked ta’s who are so happy that its finally the weekend but will stay in this office for no reason at all. i haven’t written for a while and i don’t know why. oh yes i do…i have absolutely no time. my days are filled with laptop typings, french lesson teaching, and plainly just screwing around in the name of education and privilege. and i like it. more and more i’m realizing that this is the place where i’m supposed to be. i am extremely happy with my surroundings. i feel that i am stimulated all the time with people who are very similar to me…and i love it.
the boy and i had a long heartfelt conversation last night. as always: one of us is happy and the other is sad. there is a never a happy medium. its funny because the dynamics of our relationship have changed. when i was at bloom, he was always my priority. he still is…but my life was surrounded by him and i chose for it to be that way. but now, our lives are surrounded by me and what i want. its very odd. i need to see him and love him as often as possible. but at the same time, i’m ok if we see each other every other weekend. whereas, at bloom, i thought i would fall apart without my weekly fri-sun love session. i didn’t know what to do with myself. now, its completely opposite…now i don’t have enough time to spend time with everyone. there’s no doubt that we love each other. i know that he is the one for me. i guess that i’m just comforted with the knowledge that sooner than later he will be in morgantown with me. so if we don’t see each other all the time, its really no biggie because our time is just around the corner!!!!
i really do love him. and lately, i find myself in a romantic mood with edith piaf and billie holiday in my head singing songs of classic love and desire. i think its tristan and isolde’s fault, the middle age novel we just finished reading in meding’s class. real love. which is what jon and i have.
