Well. According to my previous post, my life has gone through innumerable changes in the last four months. I have had a really bad year at uni, but then I had full-time work for the last six weeks. I also have travel and teaching placement to enjoy over the Summer. But the relationship I was so excited about back then took a nosedive leaving me shellshocked for the better part of the semester. I might get back in contact with that girl soon, but what I am really excited about is a new friendship, and possible relationship.
I got in contact this year with a girl I knew of when I was a kid. She attended some of my sister's birthday parties and such, but then moved away, and I didn't see her for 15 years. Then we got back in touch via Facebook, and caught up regularly at uni, which we both attended. We would talk about our respective relationship woes, and encourage each other. We got on well, and laughed a lot, sharing lots of funny links online, as well as in-jokes. She asked me to drum for the carols she was organising, and I did, meaning that I saw her a lot for a month, and then since then we have been talking and catching up all the time. I have had dinner with her family a few times, and I am constantly amazed at how effortlessly we get along.
When I first met her again this year, I told myself not to get to liking her. I didn't think it was a good idea. She is an introvert (I wanted to find myself an extrovert), and was in an unhealthy relationship, so I thought it was best to steer clear of that. But recently I noticed how much I liked her, and I made it a point to be aware of what I felt being with her. What I saw was this - there's nothing about the time we spend together that I don't enjoy.
I have tried not to get too serious, or make a move on her yet because I am going away for two months as of tomorrow, but what I will do is keep in touch with her, think and pray about what to do, and hopefully have something worked out by the time I get back. We shall see :)
