State Exams.

I did it! Passed both my practical and theory exams with a 92% and that's without being able to return to school to review before leaving to Topeka. Woke up at 6:30AM on Tuesday to renew car tags, stood in line before the DMV even opened. Gah, long line already. Opened up my first bank account, yay! Left to Topeka and accidently went pass towards Ottowa. Oops! Still made it way early. Stayed at the Baymont Suit and Inn. Pretty nice since it had a pool, jacuzzi, and fitness room. Had breakfast there as well the next day. Explored a bit, relaxed, and stayed up until 12:30AM studying since the whole day I spent it goofing off teehee.

A close friend.

Hi,

We were the best of friends. So close, so secure, and confident in each other. I'm thankful for the friendship you've given me and the happy times. It seems those times have come to an end and I just want to wish you happiness with who you're with. I can't be with you anymore because I would only bring sorrow to your happiness and vice versa. I know you contact me on good intentions, to reconcile, to regain what we had but it can't be that way. Things have changed, people have changed, and too much has happened.
I am possessive by nature. I am selfish, I am jealous, I am hurt. To continue our friendship would be a lie as it has already decayed.  I cannot help but shed tears each time you contact me even though it is in an etiquette manner. I guess I'm just that hurt. Why am I hurt? Why do I behave the way I do? Because I am jealous, because I am all that I claimed. You were a part of me, a close friend that I did not want to share and in return I got hurt. Hurt from shock, hurt from jealousy, hurt from a sense of betrayal. Why do I act the way I do? To push you away so that you'd be happy - away from my negativity and so that I'd be at peace. I am not angry towards you. I am rather disappointed and sadden. I wish you the best in life and I wish for you to have a place of comfort and security where you're at. Maybe we can be friends again in a year, maybe five, or a decade. I don't know but it was a blessing to call you my best friend in the two life long years we shared. Our friendship was special and forever in my heart, irreplaceable.

An acquaintance. 

My wish for you.

A mixture of our feelings and thoughts.

Stumbling.

So, curiosity got the best of me I may say and I googled some things. I was really surprised on what I found from almost 3 years ago. I never knew he included me in his school project and somewhere, somehow that touched me even though it's from 3 freakin' years ago haha. Iunno, I'm a naive girl. Then I stumbled upon something that was more recent and reality hit. A lot has changed and that's that. Just have to accept, forget, and move on.
A former coworker hit me up and asked if I was still with my ex-boyfriend. A lot of my former coworkers from 151st ask that, including Heather, Freddie, and Conrad. Is it normal when I hesitate to answer? I don't know why, maybe because things have changed since then. Weird thing is that after I tell them what happened I get confessed and hit on by former male coworkers. They tell me that they thought I was hella cute and adorable even in my sweaty and dorky Sonic uniform. Ugh. How do they think that? Lol. If you need some kind of assistance in seeing how dorky I looked here you go: clickie. I get asked for my number and to chill, you know the usual. Weird thing is, I had no idea they saw me in that light. I always thought they saw me as this dorky, weird short Asian especially since they were of mature age. I just didn't seem like their type? But damn, if I could get guys interested subconsciously when I was nerdy just think of all the guys who are interested when I look like this haha.

July 4th

Finally met Michael for the first time after knowing and talking to each other for a decade. Met up at Peachwave, talked and just catch up on life. It was a pleasant experience and he seemed pretty happy compared to the other times I'd talk to him online. 

Afterwards, we went shopping for a new swimsuit for me since I can't seem to find my red one piece. Picked up braughts and ice cream for the s'mores but ended up forgetting about the ice cream until it melted. Oopsies. Onward to swimming we went for an hour or so then we went to my house to go watch the fireworks. That was my day.
