Life Update

Well, I guess I kind of broke my own vow for not posting anything non-game related, but what the heck, its a blog.

So, here's my life update:

1.) I am now down to three semesters left in college. Pursuing a dual-major in Business Management and Marketing, respectively. Hoping once I graduate i can get my two years experience then pursue my Master's (MBA to be exact).

2.) Holidays were good. Finally convinced myself to get an IPod, and am upgrading my 6 year old phone to a Blackberry Style. Got a golf bag and some golfing equipment for Christmas, (just started learning to golf).

3.) Currently going through a stage many men go through, what I like to call, "feminine fatality." There is a girl who is in some of my classes that I have come to respect and really like as a person (don't get me wrong, she's very pretty, but that's just icing on the cake for me). We only just met this past semester, and I really didn't start talking to her until November, but I really have come to like her alot.

I have asked her out twice before; the first I blame myself because I never followed-up and it never happened, the second I asked at a bad time (it was finals week). I asked it out for coffee or lunch over break, and sent her a reminder via Facebook on Monday. She has not responded as of yet, so I am wondering whether this is a polite "No" or just a coincidence she has not been on Facebook.

What concerne me is that this feeling I have towards her is different than with other girls I have asked out in the past. There was a point during this break that I sent her a text and she never responded for two days. With all the snow we have been getting (and the consequencial car accidents as a result) I became extremely worried, even at one point really upset, that something may have happened to her. Fortunately she did respond apologizing that she got a new phone. If she were any of my previous love interests, I would have just carried on with life those two days. But this was different. It was something I never felt before. Those two days she was always on my mind, so much that the only way I could get her off my mind was by playing a video game (and even then she kept popping back up at certain times).

Is it foolish to think that way? For someone whom I don't even know if that same feeling is mutual, or if at least that she thinks of me from time to time? Will I be able to tell her I feel this way, without coming off as creepy or clingy?

My ultimate fear though is this; even if it wasn't meant to be, she's a senior and will graduate after this semester, what will haunt me and, yes, even break a portion of my heart, is that she will graduate and that will be the end, we will never speak with each other again. This is why I want to take it slow, regardless of what happens this week with the proposed date. Although I am thinking of sometime in Febuary asking her to our junior/senior prom in March, but again am afraid that if I keep asking her I will only push her away.

Well, that's my life in a nutshell. Hope it was interesing, for any of you who wished to read through all of that.

Cheers.
