Crazy?

I think I have lost my mind this morning.

I just got so excited about finishing my BA that I added an extra unit to the 3rd term.
Excited about finishing it? I have at least 4 years to go.

Screw it.
Knuckle down.
Study hard.
Get it done sooner, right?

Besides, if Miss Chatterboxx has the confidence in completing a Core and an Elective in a term, maybe I can ride the wave.

Amazing Ladies

Last year I was invited to a friend from school's 21st birthday party.

I hadn't seen her, or any of the others, since graduating.
I was scared.
I RSVP'd that I was going, and uhmed and ah'ed about it for weeks leading up to it.

I wasn't sure if our friendships would of survived the 4 or so years since seeing each other.
Not a fan of social situations, and easily anxious, I had to take it step by step.

I got ready.
I got in the car.
I drove to the venue.

It took me 15 mins or so to work up the courage to go inside.

And boy am I glad that I did.
I rekindled a friendship with these ladies as well as meeting a few more.
Facebook friendships were requested and almost 12 months on we haven't met up again.

Today, we had coffee and lunch.
And it was fabulous.
You girls are great.
Great fun.
Great company.
And I hope we can get together on a regular basis.

From that shy girl who was scared to get out of her comfort zone, today I have met up with some people that I glad to say are apart of my life.

Coffee with Miss Chatterbox

Today I had a coffee date with the amazing Miss Chatterbox.

It took alot for me to arrange to meet with her.
Not because I don't like her.
Its quite the opposite.
I adore her!

She brightens my days.
Pushes me to be a better person.
Pushes me even harder to follow through on making my dreams come true.
She is the first person, in a long time, to actually have faith in me.

That is why it was hard for me to meet with her.
She is amazing.

I didn't want to ruin a fabulous friendship by being different to how she expected.
I was worried I had somehow created some kind of persona online or something.

Then the other side of the coin.
What if we got on too well.
She is moving to a new state soon and I didn't want to start something that was going to have to end soon.

But I went.
And she showed up.
And it took alot for us to do that.

But I think it went well.
She is more amazing in person.
It was so easy - there was nothing awkward about it.
Just two old friends, sharing coffee, pulling silly faces at the baby and chatting about life, love and babies.

I am hoping for many coffee dates in the near future.
And, well, QLD isn't that far away to fly - I think they have cafes there.

Grrr.

I was going to blog about how amazing today was.

Then I got home.
Now today isn't so amazing.

I will blog about the FABULOUS parts of today, tomorrow.
Because right now, thanks to the worlds most inconsiderate roomate, I am freezing.
Wet. Soapy.
And having to go to bed this way.
