Up date

So in response to jen's question, I am still dating Brian (aka Ginger) and it's going really well. We've been dating for almost a month now and averaging 2 dates a week. He brought up the girlfriend topic last week, i didnt react well when he made the comment: "so would you say i could call you my girlfrient?" After i reacted he asked if i needed time to think about it, which i did, and then i brought up the question to him about if he asked me that because he wanted me to be his gf or if it was because that's what he thought he was supposed to do. He agreed with both and decided that he needed time to think about it too. We went out later that week and i was able to explain my thoughts to him, that it's not that im not interested in being his girlfriend or having things move in that direction but more that I dont know how much time i'm going to have each week and that i like taking this date to date, week to week. He seemed happier after my explination, cus i kindof did shut him down right after he brought up the gf stuff. This past saturday we had sex for the first time and it was great! I was really happy with everything and now im just hoping that it wont change the way our relationship has been progressing.

School has been going well, but i should be doing better. It's been really hard fitting in 18 credits, club volleyball, friends, dating, and work. Monday and wednesday are my free nights and I usually plan dates with Brian for wednesday night, so i only have monday to catch up on work and other stuff. I'm starting to get better adjusted to living and studying at home. It's still hard adjusting to commuting and having to factor the drive home in to my night of studying. I miss just being a 10 minute walk away from my apartment all the time. I think also the biggest factor affecting me is not having you guys around all of the time. It's hard being on campus and knowing only a handful of people, and that most of the time when i get home there's no one there. I'm really glad that there have been things planned almost every weekend lately so i get to see at least some of you on a regular basis.

Comming up: Kelsey's going away party 10/13; Homecomming Weekend 10/20 (we should probably try to finalize some tailgaiting plans soon)

Love, Kathy
