This three day weekend was really nice. It revived me a little bit, so I feel much better. The stress from the first two weeks of class really got to me yesterday and made me feel like shit, but luckily it seems it was really just stress and not the flu or something. >.>"

You get the long Winter break, though, right?

I always like to make friends with roommates, but if that can't happen then the situation you're in is a pretty good alternative.

Yeah, it helped me a lot. I'll love having the 3 day weekends this semester like this. It seems like it'll be really helpful to me. :) If I do have class on monday (which is once a month) it'll be at 7pm, so not too bad.

Yeah, ^^" I'm glad I do. I will really need it.

I like to try to make friends with mine. I am still kind of friends with my suitemates from years past. We communicate back and forth and the most recent group, I grew closest to it seems.
Yeah, I'll be happy if the two of us get along and form a sort of friendship and survive the year. ^^

I usually have short school weeks, but I couldn't do it this semester and ended up with five days of school a week. Some of the days are really easy, though.

Yeah, I like it that I really only have 2 days of class each week usually unless I have my monday class. That and I'm glad I only work 4 days ^^ I really like how my weeks turned out this semester.
I'm gonna head to bed now. It's almost 2.30 and I have work tomorrow. Night :)

Good thing I decided not to partake in any alcoholic drinking tonight. Definitely not in the mood for anything ^^"
Not even homework. :/

Jeeze, it's been awhile since I checked this thread. >.>

Is something wrong?

Eh, I'm just not able to get myself to concentrate on my homework, or even do anything. Mike's really depressed. No he's not doing his normal thing and blaming me for anything. He's depressed and self-destructive and it's worrying me and making me regret going away or even trying to get this degree.

he's upset at himself because he messed up his chances of getting into law school by not working hard in university. He feels as though he has no goals and won't amount to anything. And to top it all off, he was saying things which made it seem like he's given up trying and won't try to improve his life, etc.

Mmm. At least he's not blaming you atm. I don't like hearing that kind of stuff.

But don't let yourself regret this degree. I know it's hard not to when somebody so close to you is feeling shitty, but this is your life, and you'd never be happy if you gave up on it.

I don't know what you can tell him other than to stop whining and do something. In a nicer way, of course. Just encourage him as best you can.

I am going back to school. Well, sort of. More like I graduated with my bachelor's degree (general science) and worked crummy jobs for a year while I reapplied for pharmacy school. I got accepted and classes start the 24th.

Yeah, hopefully soon he'll get over it. Considering the fact that we just found out a close friend from the community college we went to, that I was closest to, died on the 2nd in Afghanistan.
But we'll see. I hope something will click in mike's mind not to be this depressed over something so fucking little as yeah his career choice was important because it was his dream, but come the fuck on, you are fucking alive and we have many years together while our friend's daughter will never know her daddy and his widow has got to be so distraught.

Oh welcome Estrella, sorry for my post above there. ^^" I'm having some issues knowing my boyfriend is depressed for reasons I explained above, and then just found out a close friend of mine who was serving in the Army in Afghanistan was killed on Sunday. So, I'm currently in more of an irate, upset mood. ^^"

Hope you're doing well ^^

Whoops. I thought you'd left for the night so I quit checking for awhile. :(

I'm so sorry to hear about your friend, though. That's really awful. :( I hope the widow can find some peace in the future and that you and Mike have my sympathies.

It's hard to get over a dream like the one he had. If he really wants it then he needs to do what it takes to get it back, but if that's absolutely not possible I hope he finds a new dream. Maybe he could try to become a paralegal? Either way he needs to come to terms with this eventually.

I always tell people: you've got food on your plate, a roof over your head, no one you love is sick, you have your health, somewhere in there is something to be grateful for.

It's ok, I zoned out and tried and failed to do my readings for a small assignment due tonight. Found out through our friend's ex (whom he stayed friends with) that he had been killed (she invited me and a bunch of us who were friends of his from the community college and others to a group on fb started by someone in his family that she was part of). So, I just sat there and zoned and stewed in getting madder at mike because of how he wasn't acting towards me.

It's really pissing me off the way mike is acting. Ok, I understand you're upset and it's really hard. But, can't you at least have a soul and tell me you love me knowing I'm upset because a friend of ours had died in the sandbox from hell?
He does need to come to terms with this, I can't take this much longer before I snap at him. I messaged one of his brothers last night asking if he's noticed anything different in the way Mike has been acting. So, I'm at the point of where I can't do this by myself anymore, I need someone else to talk to him, I need someone to talk to who would be able to help.

No matter what I say to him, he just sits there and gives me an "eh" remark. It's annoying me.

I don't blame you for being upset. I would have snapped at him ages ago if our places were switched. Everybody whines, and everybody has shit times in their lives, but it's about time he started moving on.

If worst comes to worst, just tell him exactly what you think. Nobody would blame you.

Yeah,
Thankfully he's better now. He's still bummed about the school thing, but he's fine.

mmmm iced mocha latte ^^

Well that was quick this time.

That sounds good. :) I spent the day out at a car show. Must've seen 300 classic cars.

yeah ^^" I'm glad he's better. It was getting tome. especially lastnight after i found out about our friend

Did you have his brother talk to him, or did he come to his senses on his own?

I dunno. His brother did talk to him, but his brother was more a bit worried about us because of apost I had and then was also a bit miffed from it because something like that should be private.

I think mike came to it himself. I dunno ^^"
I'm just happy

Yeah, even though it was a private issue, I don't blame you as much as I could. I've been here for a couple years hearing about his tantrums, and I might do something like that, too, after all the times he's done that.

Well, he did say he was going to get his life together. He probably just remembered that promise and got his stuff together.

Yeah, hopefully. He's still bummed about the whole not getting into school thing, but there's only so long you can act like that and be depressed over it. Ya gotta get up and figure something out.

There's only so long you can act like that until people stop pitying you.

Has he mentioned anything else that he'd like to do, yet?

I know he is thinking of trying to do voice acting.

Sorry it took me a bit. My mom texted me saying the NASCAR race was still going on around 12.30 and then I stayed down to watch the news and clean a little bit. ^^"

That could be fun. ^.^ I'd love to do something creative as my career.

It's okay. I've just been lazing about.

Yeah, hopefully something good comes of it. It was bad enough with him being crushed about his lawyer thing. But, things will work out.

^^" got distracted by the Sims 2 ^^"

I've never played the Sims. Wouldn't mind giving it a try, though. I've always loved simulation games of all kinds (no pun intended).
