End of O-week and goals progress so far

I'm really looking forward to getting to see all of my other friends at Rice when they move in tomorrow, and have already helped Nathan move his stuff over here even though he can't move in to tomorrow. Naturally, its all in either my room or Reagan's room.

Goals Progress so far:
1. Haven't run at all yet. I'd like to blame my busy daytime schedule during O-week so far for this, especially since the things I set my running schedule up for haven't started yet.
2. Haven't screwed up my grades yet.
3. Very discouraging. Though I haven't gotten an absolute no yet, the difficulty in even hanging out outside of the regularly scheduled daytime activities has been frustrating. I get the impression that she's not interested because of her unwillingness to do anything, but it could also very well be caused by how busy both of our weeks have been. I'll keep at it for a little while longer and if it doesn't work out it doesn't work out.
4. More details to come after Kevin, Nathan, and Joey move in, but it's looking pretty good. The plans for the pseudo-suite are coming along quite well, and having two projectors in one room is just going to be awesome.
5. (modified with new goal) I've been focusing on building a few strong friendships this week with some of my MOB friends by hanging out with the same group almost every night this week. I really want to see where my friendship with my fellow clarinet section leader, Kyle, ends up going. We share a lot of common interests, particularly our catholic faith which has a strong influence in both of our lives, and we've already been pretty open with each other in the past. It'll be sad after he leaves at the end of this year, but I feel he will be one of the people I keep in touch with for a very long time.

It makes me wonder if this girl is reading your blog. Because this would be hilarious. Also, if and when she starts dating you, when she reads your previous posts about her, it'll be a riot.

Oh, it's totally possible. I wouldn't be surprised at all.
