A few pages have come and gone

I last published on January 23... thats almost exactly 2 months ago. In fact, its 58 days ago. What? Fifty-eight days?
Here's a quick recap of those days: School.
I have completed another quarter of vet school.
I am in the home stretch of my first year now.

This weekend is the start of spring break!! Whoo hoo!!
Jacob came up on Friday to spend the weekend. It was really nice to have someone take the time to come visit me, though I worry a little bit that he was hoping for something more. It will be a while before I can be absolutely sure that there are no lingering feelings on his side since the time that he got drunk on something ridiculous like 4 bottles of wine and poured his heart out to me about how we would have been good together. I like the dude, we are friends, but for me, thats where it ends.
It was a little weird to me to have a guy come visit me. I mean this apartment is mine. Like, I live here alone. There's no roommate, no parents. Security blanket is not around! haha. I felt a little like my bubble was invaded. I fear that I didn't give him the treatment that he was hoping for, but I was very conscious about not giving him the wrong idea. I don't want to lead him on.

And while I have one of my best friends up here visiting me.... all I can think about is how much I wish I was hanging out in freaking Northern Ohio with someone else. Not in a romantic way, but I just miss Jim- working with him, goofing off with him, just hanging out with him.

And then, once Jacob left today- I heaved a sigh of relief. I have taken the day to do nothing more than watch tv and hang out with my dog. And while I was walking Payton, I realized that I am really happy with where my life is right now. I love my life. Sure, I would like to believe that I will meet a man that I will want a real, long term, relationship with, but until then, I really like where I am in life. Like, really like my life. I love living on my own with my dog in a state that is different from my family- not because I like being away from my family, but because I like knowing  that I can survive away from them- on my own. Independently.
