Good few weeks...

Well, this week (or the last three weeks) have been a little different than  normal for me.  For those that have been out of the loop a little, or are just new to the site... I was gone for two weeks in Texas for work.  I made it back to Orlando last Sunday, in time to catch part of the weekly party.  There was something new though, something that made the party that much better for me.

True, like usual, I wasn't up that long for the party... and yes, I had to work the very next day.  The new thing though, the thing that made the whole party/day a great one?.... I had my new boyfriend there with me.  Yep, you heard right.  My new BOYFRIEND.  Took me long enough to find him, but he was with me all night long, making it that much more enjoyable.  Now, for most of you, this came as a little shock.  I've been talking with him (Jose) for several weeks.  Actually started talking with him prior to the whole Texas trip.  I kept it quiet, as I do many things.  In part, because I'm never sure what to expect, and want to avoid getting my hopes up.

It's worked out well though.  Everyday I was in Texas, I was on the phone with Jose... several hours a night (5-6 hrs on average).  We really connected, but even more so when he picked me up from the airport and we spent the entire day together.  We had a little surprise for everyone when we came back home... I had a new BF!  Like anything, we're still feeling each other out and learning a lot about each other, but all in good time.

Some of you have been lucky enough to see him.  He's been around most nights, joining me in chat, and helping me sleep at night.  For those that haven't seen him, keep an eye out.  He'll definitely be around more & more.

So what else is new?  Well, like always, I've been busy at work.  Trying to make that money and save up for a place of my own.  My time at CBL is coming to an end, much to the dismay of some & excitement of others.  I'll be busy in the weeks to come, but as always, come join me and my new bf in chat.  

I added a little extra something from Texas, hope you enjoy.  Even the animals work on their tan in Texas.  Have an awesome week guys.  Hope to catch you all in chat.

And so it begins...

Well, it's been an uneventful week and bust at the same time.  As usual, we had our Sunday night party.  I was in bed for most of it (no surprise there).  I actually did try to stay up for it, but felt so shitty that night, that I just couldn't stand it.  My stomach was all torn up from who knows what.  I'm wondering if there was something going around, because the next day, at least half the house was sick, along with 3 other party-goers.  From what I gather, I didn't miss anything at the party (again, no surprise there).  But oh well, on with the rest of the week.

Monday marked the beginning and end of a few things.  First, Melem left.... yep, plain and simple... he left, headed back home.  I won't go into thoughts/feelings/whatever as they've been said many times over.  I wished Melem well in my last diary, and I stick to it.  Just wish he would have said bye.  Either way, he's gone.  Since that's out of the way, Monday also started my at home training.  Week one of a 3 week training period.

Now, nothing too exciting happened here.  I spent most of all day reading, reading, reading.... and even more reading online.  In between reading, I was running errands, tying up loose ends, and taking care of things before I leave for the remaining two weeks.  After this (now just hours away), I head off to the airport and then to Austin, Texas.  I'll be there for a total of two weeks with non-stop studying.  Exciting and nerve racking at the same time.  The day after I get there, I'll be tested right away on all the reading I covered this past week.  If I don't make it thru these tests, I don't continue.  So wish me luck with it (I'll need it).  I certainly know my stuff, but I suck at testing, especially when it comes to mind-numbing reading.  Either way, I'll do my best.

I'll try to check in when I can, but I am off chat for those two weeks.  Let's hope I stil have a place to come home to... lol.  I'm sure all will be fine while I'm gone. Seems most of the drama is gone from the house now.  We'll see though, keep me informed.

So aside from the studying all week, I was pretty laid back.  I made it out the to club 2 nights in a row.  The first night was to Pulse... bit of a different crowd there, but I managed to catch up with a friend or two.  The second night, I made it out to Revolution.  I caught up with Zac and Aaron there.  I guess they were handing out cards for applicants.  Hopefully they get a decent response.  Thursday night, I also caught up with a few friends.  All in all, a decent night. 

I guess there isn't a whole lot to write here, as busy as it's been for me, it's been the same thing all week.  The two weeks to come will be interesting.  I'm sure I'll miss some of you (others, not so much)... but I'm sure you are saying the same thing.  Anyway, until I'm back, I wish you guys the best of luck.  Enjoy the next two weeks, and keep everyone on track for me :-)  Be well.
