You're a lucky guy, Mikey, and she's a lucky girl. Here's hoping things keep on keepin' on. :brindis:
(If not, I have a hot cousin in Melbourne. Maybe I can hook you up.)
Why do you have to go, Srijita?
I went to my five-year reunion, but I haven't been back to one since. I didn't even know about the last one until months later, and I don't feel like I missed a thing. If this school was so bad, why throw yourself back into the lions' den?
Whatever you do, I wish you courage and serenity.
I met a few people last month and started talking to them and not one of them are talking to me again. I thought that the conversations went well. I talk to people and it seems like we hit it off, but it never lasts. They all were guys I don't know if that matters, many girls here make me feel like a guy anyways like I'm not feminine enough. I can just feel myself slipping back into depression which I don't think I can allow because I damage myself when I'm very depressed and it has a long term effect on me.
Update: My teacher changed my grade to a 50 instead of the 0. She said I saved the draft so she couldn't see it, but I eventually submitted it (before the deadline, by the way). However, since other students didn't have the same problem as me, she decided to give me partial credit, aka 50. Oh, did I mention this is an Ethics class that I'm taking? I wonder what theory of ethics she's using - sounds a lot like Deontological ethics.
Just got off of the phone. It was a better than I expected? In the middle of the convo, I can't help but shiver. There was a few awkward pauses, but other than that I think I did ok. By the way, 80% of what I spoke was read off a script that I wrote beforehand. I spoke well overall, but I cheated with a script and I can't help but feel disappointed a bit. I guess I need to work on my impromptu speaking skills.

Well done, you! :thumbup:
I had to do some telephoning myself yesterday and again today (nearly an hour
), so I can relate. It's a hard thing for a lot of us to do. I, too, got the shakes a couple of times, had trouble breathing, etc. I don't think you should feel bad about using a prepared script. Under the circumstances, it was the best tool for the job. Focus instead on the accomplishment of having met and overcome a challenge. Why feel bad about it when you can just as easily feel good?

You're right GraybeardGhost. I'll think of this as overcoming a challenge. I'm sure if I practice enough, I will gradually wean myself off of a script. Thanks for the encouragement, and kudos to you too for speaking for nearly an hour.

I really want to feel important to somebody. These days the people around me seem to only acknowledge me when complaining about something i have or haven't done *sigh*

I'm sorry, I know how it feels. I hope people do give importance to you.

Ups and downs all this week.
I did have an experience earlier this week that actually made me feel really good. I walked into a restuarant where this teenage girl was at the register talking to all sorts of people. She had to be the happiest person I've seen in some time and it was infectious. She asked me why I was frowning and I told her I wasn't. She asked me to show her my smile. With just her bright cheery attitude she force me to smile for her own the spot. And it came out! I hadn't smiled that naturally in a long time.
I wonder where was it hiding all those years?
Go figure. :idontknow:

I just found out I may get a better apartment April 1st. I just don't know how I will afford the actual move. Good/bad always mixed together and I am terrible with money. Always have been. I might even have a view of Lake Superior from the new place. That would be amazing. Feeling so vulnerable, and bored. I might actually do things but always broke mid-month.
