I think the fact that I am still awake at this time and nowhere near finishing this assignment is very telling.
no, I do not seem to be coping well.
seems like I've severely overestimated my ability to juggle an increased course load with extra readings and effective time and stress management.

I was ashamed of loving you. I was ashamed that I fell so hard for you, and gave so much to you, when it turns out that you never cared about me at all. That you were just toying with me. I felt so foolish, felt so much shame, that I lashed out in contempt and hostility in an attempt to transfer that shame. I’m trying to let go. I’m trying not to stew in my anger. I’m afraid of what will happen if that anger turns to hatred. I couldn’t even look you in the eye last week, because I felt such gut churning resentment and irritation.

Today I want to express my gratitude for whatever coincidence or whim of fate that saw me paired up with my current partner for my research project. Okay so technically we're each doing separate projects and all, but we still need to work together a lot to create materials for the experiments, coordinate information, and bond over our mutual suffering. It's true I've been more sociable this semester, but there are still precious few people that I actively like and seek to spend more time with outside of routine, unavoidable interaction.  I guess I'm just marveling at the new found fact that I can, indeed, find people I like and want to hang out with. To tell you the truth, I'd been a little worried recently at my inability to maintain friendships. I mean, I do have my core group of close friends whom I love to pieces, but beyond that, nothing. Not since secondary school have I managed to actually keep friends I made. I either cut people off or let them ...
