I'm officially pathetic.

Fact #26: My heart aches...

So. I've never gone through a break up before, therefore I've never been heart broken. Maybe this is what a broken heart feels like. But mine's not exactly broken, it just aches and is incredibly sad. I am the luckiest girl in the entire universe. I am in love with the perfect guy, and he's in love with me. Only thing is, we are currently 200 miles apart. Now, once I get back to school, I'll only be just over 100 miles away from him. A little closer, but still apart. School will start next week, so we'll be busy with our classes. To top it off, he has two jobs, this year...something different from last year. So, who knows how often I'll get to see him. Maybe I was just too spoiled last year by getting to see him just about every weekend.

"Distance, it is a test of love, many will fail, but for those who can withstand it have the answer: true love."

I just have to be strong. I know I can be. I have been all summer. I just have to get past this little heart ache of mine and look forward to the next time I get to see Devon, whenever that is.

XOXO

Fact #25: Summer is coming to an end.

Where did this summer go? Is it just me or did this summer FLY by? I suppose working does that to you. For the first part of the summer I had a full time job working at the bank thirty miles away. It was a great gig, especially the fact that they also paid for my mileage. At the end of July I cut down to half time because I finally got into two of the summer classes I need to retake because some of my Morningside classes didn't transfer into USD. LAME! I have a week to complete two papers and three speeches. No big deal, right? What especially made the summer fast was counting down the days until I got to see Devon. I think I saw him a grand total of five times this summer. I get super sad to leave him, but that just begins a new countdown until I get to see him. To me, I feel like it makes time go fast. It sure made last semester fly by. Mom started school yesterday and John heads to school on Monday. And to top it all off, Calil left yesterday for Florida. I feel like I didn't see him at all this summer, even though he lived a room over.

I am, however, ready to get back to school. I miss my apartment. I miss choir. I miss my people. I miss being only an hour and a half away from Devon. Bring on senior year, yo!

Fact #24: You may say I'm a dreamer...

...and far too often I feel like I'm the only one.

I need to try and be realistic.

Fact #23: Sometimes...

...I don't like making the first move.
