Friday

Now that the summer is almost coming to a close, and work with it, I have mixed feelings about it all.  I’m sad that summer’s ending (ok, not for a month, but I know that will fly by), and I’m sad that I won’t be working side by side with such lovely people anymore.  Honestly, working with B. can get a little rocky at times (when she tries to be the know it all), but if I match her instead of just backing down, it works out quite nicely.  Most of the time we get along quite well and she’s the best work friendship I’ve had.  She invited me to come out to dinner tonight with her and some friends, and I’m going to bring a couple of mine, as well.  She also offered to take me out on my birthday which would be awesome.  She’s a lot of fun and knows tons of people so it would be a blast.

Anyway, so I’ll miss seeing her every day, and my boss is also super-chill.  She can get stressed out sometimes, but she’s genuinely a really nice person.

Also, after the summer’s over I won’t see my friend M. nearly as much, and we’re getting closer since a lot of our other friends are out of town this summer.  It’s easier to be better friends when there are less of you.  The stupidity quotient of conversations is typically lower the smaller the group.  You can never have a serious conversation in a large group, which is why relationships with people you know only in groups tend to stay about the same.  So we’re getting to know each other a little better.

And then it will be harder to see D. as much during the year.  Since we’re only 2 hours apart we’ll probably be back and forth constantly, but who knows.  We’ll be busy and it won’t be the same.

But I guess change is a big part of being human, so I’m sure I’ll deal with it all.  I’ll still see everyone on occasion, and hopefully the people I meet or become closer to will make up for the people I don’t see.
