Hard Candy

It's been a while since my last post. A lot has happened. I've taken a medical leave of absence from NYU. I would rather not discuss why, because if I tell you the version that everyone else is hearing, I'd be lying. And if I told the truth, it would be rather unpleasant.

But enough about that. I have a job at a pizza place. I'm volunteering at the daycare for a hospital, which is so much fun I can't stand it. However, it has made me realize that I do not want to have kids until I a) am out of college and married for at least a year or two b) can grow two extra arms and possibly an extra leg and c) have the time, money, and patience to raise one. I do love them, though.

My boyfriend and I are becoming much more "serious". Not physically, but emotionally. Honesty is playing a big key in this. We'd had troubles with communication in the past, namely, his not telling me when something I'm doing/saying is bothering him at risk of hurting my feelings. He hates it when I'm upset. But what he fails to realize is that I get upset when HE is upset; thus, he should tell me when something's bothering him so in the future I can know not to do it. The same thing happened with my best friend... anyway...

And then... then I told him the truth. The truth about why I left NYU.
