Today was my first Monday that I haven't been at WSU since I started there I believe. Of course it would have been nice to be in class, but I feel comfortable with my decision to drop the class, and I think that if I end up needing Calculus later, I will know that I need to do some Algebra beforehand to get ready for the class. Since I didn't have class, I decided to do some fun things before I start my push towards figuring out school situation this week and also potentially finding a job and/ or new place to volunteer for the spring/summer. To start my day, I FINALLY took some old textbooks (and random books that I'm not sure why I bought a long time ago) up to Half Price Books to sell them and get them out of my house. My bookshelf is already overflowing, and I have a giant box full of other books that I want to keep, so I decided to get rid of them. I got a whooping $11 for the books, but I wasn't expecting much. By selling my books, I was able to buy a new book (As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner), and then treat myself to some Panera afterwards. Then I headed up the street to Boston Stoker for some tea and Biology study time. I got some of the next chapter read, and I think I'll read the rest tomorrow after my class since I'll have a really long break in between class and lab now that I don't have Calculus to worry about. After Boston Stoker, I took a nice ride on the bike path, because the weather was nice and its supposed to rain the next couple of days. It ended up being just under 30 miles, but it was pretty good. The bugs are apparently back out though, so I had the pleasure (or displeasure) of getting pelted in the face with gnats and other small bugs. I think I may have to find a new chunk of the bike path to ride so I don't have to deal with that as much.
Tonight was pretty uneventful, until about a half hour or so ago. Though I won't get in to specifics on here, it appears that things I thought were going alright with a friend have now gone completely sour. Unfortunately this isn't the first time this has happened, but I suppose that if we were meant to be friends, we probably wouldn't have this kind of stuff happening. Of course I'll wonder if things will change in the future (like they have in the past), but I don't expect it. Luckily I don't have any bad blood with the whole situation, though I wouldn't want things to end this way. I can't really force things to happen, and I realize that if people aren't happy with things, then they will leave. I respect that, and wish them the best.
I think I'm going to finish up one of my books and then go to bed. Hopefully class goes well tomorrow, and I think I'm going to try to get an appointment at MUM sometime this week to talk with someone about the BIS program. If I can get done with my Bachelors in a year, I think I may go that route. I would like to be done with this degree, and start new somewhere besides Dayton I think. I love this city with all my heart, but I know it will always be here, and I think it's time that I experience some new scenery and see what else is out there. Of course that will all depend on many different things, but I'll figure that all out when I get to that point.
