Another thing I realized as I was walking home from class today: I bitch a lot about not having a girlfriend. But, being single at this point probably isn't a bad thing.
Sure, when I had a girlfriend it was great. Always someone to cuddle with, talk about silly stuff, take to the movies, etc. But now, seeing as how I'm only a few short months away from graduation, it's sorta nice not to be tied down.
For one thing, I don't know how I'd find time for a girlfriend right now. Between a crappy job and a very hectic school schedule, where would I fit a girlfriend into the equation?
"Oh Nate-O, you'd find time." I doubt it. Every time I get something accomplished, something else pops up that has a looming deadline that threatens any chance of free time.
Work, for example, eats up about 4 of my 7 nights a week. During the days, I have class or am working on a project for class. And those nights I have free? Forget about it. Either I'm doing something for class or it's Friday night and I'm doing the radio show.
And if I DO by the grace of the universe I have a lick of free time, I'm either resting, sleeping, or doing something that keeps me alive and/or functioning normally (eating, buying food, doing laundry, cleaning my apartment).
So normally, this rant would've been my lack of a girlfriend. Instead, it's about my lack of time FOR a girlfriend.
Yes, I did ask that girl out. But who knows when we'll actually go out. It could be next month before both of our schedules allow for a date to take place.
I actually got a call last night from a friend wanting me to go out and drink last night. I was sound asleep when the ring of my phone woke me up at 12:15 in the AM. I thought I was having a nightmare and didn't realize I was awake until the phone stopped ringing. Not to be rude if the friend happens to read this, but Wednesday night is not good for me to go drink. So don't call me on Wednesday again. That goes for anyone... unless it's a HUGE emergency, then you can try and deal with a very cranky man.
To rationalize that paragraph: If I don't have time to go out and drink, I probably don't have time for a lady. And trust me, drinking is one of my favorite activities.
Secondly, relationships are tough to figure out. I've noticed some drama over the past few weeks between my friends who have significant others. I can barely figure out my own life and future right now. Adding a relationship to the mix would just mess things up even more.
Maybe when I'm finally not bound to make good grades and finally get my diploma I'll get me that very elusive lady that I KNOW is out there.
At least for now, there's no time for love. (But maybe the right girl will make that change)
