I feel like I am living in a nightmare of an awful week that will not go away. I have been feeling worn out, unmotivated, and very frustrated with almost everyone/thing since last Monday! I can say a few positive things though – the first being that I got my laptop back last Thursday, with a brand new hard drive in it (this just raises more frustration though, as I waste my time trying to get my personal settings back to normal). I also found out on Thursday that I was getting a substantial raise at work because my employers want to “pay the highest wage on campus and draw in the best employees.” I also got to see Steven this weekend, which was nice because I hadn’t seen him for a little under a month (unfortunately, Steven had another agenda while we were together this weekend, so when I say I saw him, that is what I mean… I saw him for a second or two).
I worked really hard last week on persuading Alejandra to come to Rome, then I finally realized today that the only reason I want her to come is so I will have a travel buddy. I think I would enjoy traveling alone in Europe during my free time, but I doubt it is safe for me. As intelligent and witty as I like to think I am, I know that it would be wise for me to travel in a foreign continent with at least one other person. So today I was thinking that it would be the most fun if I was with her, but if she doesn’t come, oh well, her loss. I have other friends I am sure are planning on traveling… or I might end up out on my own.
