Hello. It's been a while, hasn't it?

First of all, I blame school.
Second of all, I only have one semester left of this undergraduate crap before I never set foot on Northland's campus again. Knowing me, I will say I'll visit, but in actuality, I will not.
Then there's grad school, but that's not happening for at least a year.

What am I doing until then?

I really, really hate this question. EVERYONE asks it, making me feel like a need to provide a carefully, well-thought-out response about how I'm going to intern here for a year, then go to graduate school there, move out and live somewhere, etc.
THE TRUTH IS...
I have no freaking clue, but it will involve gratuitous amounts of stupidity. I haven't been stupid or risky enough in my college years--which is the purpose of college, isn't it? Go to campus, take classes, change your major, change your appearance, learn things, drink, party, smoke, dye your hair, get an apartment, internship, road trip across the country, etc.

Most of these things I haven't done.
So I've decided that I should work on that.
Plus, I have no internship or job experience in a lab setting, which is kind of...A BIG DEAL since I want to go to grad school for NEUROSCIENCE RESEARCH. Yeah, a big deal.

This next part has little-to-nothing to do with school.

It has everything to do with this.
Who is this person?
Well, for one, he's a boy. (Sorry female population. While I think you're all very pretty, I am not attracted to the thought of being romantically/sexually involved with any of you. Sad, I know)
He works with me at Corwins.
Traits: tall, wears glasses, works as a stock boy, quiet, secretly funny, hard-to-read, makes me smile, has the scariest fucking tattoo of a clown on his arm, has a tattoo sleeve on his lower left? arm, threw a Christmas toy at me during work today

Yes, that last one totally counts as a trait.
Other things: I don't know him well at all, he's hard-to-read (which unnerves me, because I can almost always read a person), I don't know if he's done anything with school besides graduate HS, His age? I dunno. My age maybe?, he works at Corwins, I don't know if he's smart! (This is actually a really important trait to me. I have almost 0 tolerance for stupid people.)

Soooooo...I don't know what's going to happen, or even what's happening now.
I kind of like it that way, though, considering I don't even know what I'm doing about anything right now. I'm kind of in a little chaotic bubble right now.
I'm only here until the 7th. That is no time to really date/form a relationship of any kind with the opposite sex. And I'm also a fickle fiend--I may love you mroe than anything else today, but be totally done with you tomorrow (this only applies to boys and most inanimate objects), so long-distance is so not my forte.
Simply put, I'm not going to delve deeper than shameless flirting...for now. Come summer, we'll see...
