eleven.

The next two weeks fly by. I’ve settled into my routine of going to work, and I like it far more than I thought I would. I feel like a responsible adult now, instead of a helpless, homeless, wanderer.

Waiting tables isn’t the best job, but it gives me a sense of responsibility that I never had before.

That’s not the only changes I’ve made in my life. After my conversation with Liz in the park, and subsequently finding a job, I decided to apply to a few colleges: Northwestern University, University of Chicago, and University of Illinois-Chicago—the school Jake goes to. Not that I applied because he goes there, but it is a major plus.

I know that at this point it is probably too late to get in and attend school this fall, but I’m hoping I have a response in time to start school in the spring semester. I need the next six months to save up, anyway. I know that once I begin attending school, I won’t be able to work as many hours or at all, so it is really important that I have enough money saved up so that I can support myself.

I hate that I have to use student loans to pay for college, but it’s the only way I can attend, and I’m tired of living life idly while the things I want continue to pass me by.

Speaking of letting things I want pass me by, I haven’t really had much time to talk to Jake. I feel really bad about that, especially since the last time we talked was when he spent the night with me.

We left things unfinished. So many things need to be said that haven’t, and I’m finally ready to talk to Jake about how I feel.

I know I haven’t known him very long, and that is what scares me the most about this. We barely know each other, but I feel that we know each other perfectly in all the ways that really count.

I am not saying that I’m ready to suddenly declare us a couple, but I would love to get my feelings out in the open so that maybe we could head in that direction. I know that I told myself I would ignore those feelings, but I’m done being afraid. Some things are work the risk of possibly getting hurt.

I hope this is one of those things.

It’s Fourth of July weekend, and I don’t know how I managed to be lucky enough to be off from work, but I am. I’m so happy about it that I almost want to break out into some type of happy dance.

Almost.

I have changed a lot in the last two weeks, but not that much.

I’m so excited about Fourth of July weekend because Liz is throwing a huge party tomorrow night at her parent’s lake house, which isn’t too far from where we live.

And Jake’s going to be there.

God, the butterflies in my stomach return with a vengeance just thinking about all the possibilities that come with that little piece of knowledge.
