Rebuttal and Updates

to the anonymous poster: wow, you totally misunderstood me. Also, you made a lot of assumptions and didnt even have the courage to sign your post. I was not writing about sleeping with random people. You are right, that would be easy, and if I wanted that I wouldn't be complaining. Random hook-ups are completely unsatisfying and often lead to regrets. However, I believe that there is a compromise between random hook-ups and serious dating. Casual dating does not equal casual sex (although my mother thinks it does). It is possible for two people to enjoy spending time with each and have 'chemistry', without being serious. The timing for a relationship is very important. One of the people involved in the situation may need to focus on something else in their life, and not be able to dedicate themselves to the great time and emotional commitment that is involved with a 'serious' relationship. Also, there may be an aspect of a person's personality that would only become an issue in that type of relationship. The cold truth is, that I may not be ready for a serious relationship anytime in the near future. This is in part because I am extremely critical of people I date, and I have a difficult time becoming emotionally intimate with people. Honestly, the only people I have been able to completely trust is my family. So, would it really be better for me to completely isolate myself from others?

Anyhow, things have been super crazy lately. I have been spending about 10-12 hours a day on campus. I am only at home to sleep and havent even have time to go grocery shopping or do my laundry for two weeks. The other night I ate whole wheat pasta and canned tuna, because it was literally the only food I had in the house. Today I took a horrible midterm in flight mechanics. I usually finish tests early, but this one I didnt even finish. Nobody else finished early, so I hope they found it difficult as well. My numerical methods class is torture, and the hw nearly impossible for me, since I dont remember how to program. Last night I talked to Ro for about 20 minutes, and realized it was the most interaction with a non-engineer I could remember. I am getting a lot done though, and hope it all pays off in the end.

Cool new word from Grandpa L:
