The school year has started off pretty well. I cried a few nights, but I really believe that it was caused by a lot of the stress of moving back in and trying to settle back down into normal life again. Also, it didn't help that the first week I hardly got to see Alex because he was so busy with TAG. Of course, the ever-present source of tension between us is the fact that I love to plan, schedule, and organize, and he hates to do anything of the sort, he loves spontaneity. Alex and I went out to PF Changs last night and had a wonderful time. We ordered lettuce wraps, spciy chicken, and mu shu chicken and went out to Graters icecream for dessert. We justified eating so much by reminding ourselves that we are both athletes, haha. After dinner, Alex volunteered to get the car for me in the pouring rain so that I didn't get wet. While waiting, I heard a girl behind me ask her boyfriend to go get the car for her and he said, "it's too wet, why don't we wait it out?" I was so proud of Alex.
My classes aren't too bad... ha.
