I had my belt test for my martial arts group and passed. Even if there was a tense moment where I had to attempt a cartwheel, even though I have never done a cartwheel; not even as a child. But it was a great feeling tying on my new belt, looking around the room at all of my friends that had helped me get to that point. It’s hard not knowing with my knee if I’ll be able to train next week, or even for a long time. It is really starting to worry me, especially as I realize I’m not only not feeling touch but temperature either.

 

Back to the good though. So I came back to my dorm to check my e-mail and got some great surprises. Friday the club that I am now a co-chair of put together an all inclusive speed dating event. It wasn’t what we thought it was going to be. The opposite gender loving session (heterosexual) had one PhD male student and then two of us girls, so everyone there (mostly gay guys, ad bisexual women) sat and talked. For the same gender loving session there were only two women I didn’t know, the other three were already my friends. I really liked everyone, and had fun talking to the other women. When my friend sent out the e-mail about who was interested in me it was cool to see the two women I had just met both were interested. It was really flattering, and a confidence boost. To make things even better one of them added me as a friend on Facebook. I asked her if she wanted to go out to dinner in return. So the e-mail I saw when I got back was that she wanted to go out to dinner. I have a date on Tuesday, and I’m so excited/nervous/not-sure-how-I-feel. There was also an e-mail from the other woman, who is older than me. She invited me to a concert on Wednesday, but I had to decline because of exams. But we’re planning on getting together later this summer and jamming on the guitar.

 

It’s kind of neat to know that other people can be interested in you. It’s hard when your younger brother is co much better at relationships than you. And practically everyone else too! Even if things don’t work out, it will be cool to meet other people from campus. Anyway statistics say most people who settle with one person for the rest of their lives met them because of connections through friends; so your best bet is to make friends!

 

Now if I could find a job and get my knee to heal/feel/stop hurting things would be practically perfect!
