i just printed out some piano sheets of music written by Antonio Carlos Jobim. His music makes me relax.

Janelle came to SF and left again. It was so nice to see a familiar and friendly face... I really miss people in MI.

I am still idling, not using much of my brain. I feel that it is getting rusty. Job is going okay, but I see a lot of office politics and gossips going on. The real world is definitely harsher than school life. People can be really manipulating and selfish sometimes. i suppose that i am still young and idealist, not tainted much by the world's corruption...and not yet required cynicism. Of course, there are always exceptions as well. i cannot wait to go back to school...to where i belong, to where the world is filled with intellectual and moral stimuli.

mm... love life is still going wonderfully well. in about another 2 more months, i'll have been dating for a year. i am still very much in love. i wouldn't say that this is not a tough relationship...i guess any relationship is tough, whether or not it is between a guy and a girl or between the same sex (friends or boyfriend-girlfriend relationships). long distance is definitely hard...and i am still trying to find a good balance. what makes me happy is that the guy is putting as much effort as i...or even more...into this relationship. i am very happy and content... it's so great to find someone who is willing to share his dreams with me and willing to have me share mine with him.
