			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p>I screwed off. I slacked the hell off, and my exhaustion caused me to postpone the writing of the take home final in place of sleep. I slept. I woke up early, showered and did all the good morningly stuff, and sat down to write a paper. Albeit a short paper, it still needed to be written. My apathy and lethargy is astounding! No. Really. When I got out of the shower it was just shy of 8 am. I decided to log into WoW instead. Why? I dunno. Cause the idea of writing yet another effing paper made me ill.</p>
	<p>So I played about 40 minutes of World of Warcraft instead. Yeah. World of effing Warcraft. Why?</p>
	<p>No clue. I have no damn clue why I do this to myself.</p>
	<p>So I write a crappy paper, print the damn thing up, and head to school, on schedule. Get to school a little earlier than anticipated, and turn said paper in. I&#8217;m going to miss that instructor though, despite the nutso papers I had to write (mostly because I was out of my league&#8230; not the normal sort of papers I&#8217;ve ever had to write in the past, making it difficult to fake it!).</p>
	<p>I get a call from the boy. He&#8217;s on campus early, and wanted to hang out some. I wanted food after fasting for 13-ish hours. I didn&#8217;t care what, I just REALLY wanted some FOOD! I meet up with him, we pretend to study for all of 10 minutes and go to take our final. Let&#8217;s not discuss how that final went.</p>
	<p>We spend some more time together. This time, a plan is made. A plan for me to take him home after his next final, and he would take me riding. I was stoked. STOKED! I &lt;3 being on a motorcycle. Even though I&#8217;d love it more if I were the one doing the driving, it&#8217;s still fun. The wind, not so fun. I got pelted with bugs at some point. And my hair. Oh my poor hair. It looked like one great big giant dreadlock. It was not cute.</p>
	<p>But he wracked up over 300 miles on his bike, for my amusement and entertainment. He paid for gas. He paid for dinner. He stopped when my butt needed a break. We laughed about signs that I saw (&#8220;Rainbow Ranch. Not GAY, just <em>happy</em>&#8220;). It was just an all around good day.</p>
	<p>On the drive home I sent the BFF a text message. &#8220;Why do they have to be perfect specimens of the male gender when you&#8217;re just friends?&#8221; Why indeed. I&#8217;m not sure, at least not completely what it is I&#8217;m hoping for. She asked if I would be better off not hanging out with him as much. The answer is yes. I would be better off. Though I&#8217;m not 100% sure that&#8217;s even what I want, at least not deep down. What I want is to finish school, and get the fuck out of this hell. This is what I&#8217;m striving for. This is what I&#8217;m working towards.</p>
	<p>I won&#8217;t lie. Today I fell in love with him&#8230; all over again.</p>
	<p>Tomorrow, I start over with letting go.
