Gains and Losses

Lately, there's been good. There's been bad.

I haven't decided if it's all going to come out even yet. 

Good things are going on. 

I'm done with research until grad school. (For the most part.)
Nothing is stopping me from study abroad so far. (I kind of figured that something would happen and shut me down. Nothing yet though...)
I'm living with KB next semester. (Never thought that would happen.)

Yet, I feel like I've lost a lot recently or will lose very soon. I will complain. 

Prepare yerselves, mateys. 

Part of my family- the beautiful, wonderful girls I babysit- are moving to Texas in a few months. (which is an issue in itself. Who goes to Texas willingly? Honestly.)

A friend has inexplicably dropped all contact with me, leaving me confused and incredibly hurt. All I know is that apparently classes have prevented Individual from talking directly to me. (As though classes are a new development in their life. I'm gonna go ahead, make the jump, and call bull on this one.)  

Eric is going home for an internship. Soon. When he gets back, I leave for the land of the Dingos, Dunkaroos, and Didgeridoos. (Maybe not Dunkaroos. But there's always hope) I will miss him terribly, and pray that these 8 or so months apart make us stronger. 

Oh, and I accidently accepted a date with someone. I haven't been asked out in years. How do I know a proposal when I see it, huh?!

As for now, I'm going to not think about anything mentioned in the second part of this post, shove it deep down inside of me and let it fester for 2 weeks until exams are over, then I will either a) Deal with it prayerfully, calmly, and rationally or b) find the nearest Krispie Kreme and drown my sorrows in Shell Station Big Gulps cups of doughnut glaze. 

We know which option will be better come opening day at the community pool.
