Girl Time

I had the best time at book club last night! I love my group of guy friends, but I've definitely discovered that I need girl time every now and then. It's great just to sit around and talk about life (with a little book discussion mixed in) with these wonderful women.

As weird as it sounds, I now feel a little more "at home" with the members of the English Department. Sure, last year (and even the beginning of last semester) I talked to these ladies on a regular basis, but I didn't really know them and they certainly didn't know me. After lunch chats, a few dinner/margarita nights, and monthly book clubs, I finally feel like I fit...and the feeling is great. :)

I know that was probably all in my head, and I realize that I did it to myself. I thought people probably would consider me to be this "kid" that Mitchell talked about like she hung the moon, and consequently would write me off. Because I had that idea in my head, I kind of separated myself everyone. I'm glad I got over that, because I really enjoy spending time with them. It's so nice to sit down with women who are all so different and talk about life, family, and everything else. I guess I finally let them into my life. Why did I wait so long?
