This has been a crazy week- what with trying to catch up with work, studying for a midterm and tutoring. I'm glad it's almost over. I still have a speech to write for graduation. I've been nominated to speak, and I suppose I would have been more excited about speaking if it were not for the fact that I have to work the day of graduation, helping other people graduate and then attending the 6pm graduation ceremony that night. I'd be totally stressed out. But I guess I should give it a shot anyway. It isn't everyday that one gets nominated.
This week has also been dateweek. I've gone on 2 dates so far. Date #3 takes place on Sunday. 3 dates, 3 different boys. So far, it's 2 for 2. I like them both, for very different reasons. Rather unlike the dates I've been on for the past 2 months. There was the one guy who got into a fist fight, and the other who was rather like an octopus- hands all over the place. One who was really sweet, but I had no particular interest.
The motivation for all this is really to meet more people. SF is a tough city. And most people don't attempt to even make contact with folks outside their circle. I'll admit to that. And these days, I think my circle is getting a little too small and a little to fragmented. Yesterday's date was with C, who is a partner in his own health care consulting firm. Learned all about drugs and the economics of health care. Was somewhat awed by the research process and the sort of work that he does- reminded me of someone I knew, who would sit for weeks reading research papers and interviewing "experts". Don't think we have any chemistry- I was way too awed by his triathlon obsession and health care debates to make any intelligent conversation- but certainly someone who's brain I want to pick in the future.
This is the year for doing new things. It's my 29th year in the world. When Saturn (if you believe anything about astrology) is supposed to return to the same position the year/ time I was born. Things are suppose to shape up this year, and change must be made, or else I'll have to wait another 29 years for this to happen again.
