Saturday is the trip to Busch Gardens Williamsburg with the SG Virginia group. It doesn't sound like a lot of people are going to the event. My friend Mike from Virginia Beach is going to be there though so I'll at least know a few people.
I have been completely wiped out with work for the past two weeks. I've slept in my own bed three times during that time period. Otherwise I've been on the road in a hotel. Staying away like that is just physically and emotionally draining. Relaxing at home is not the same as relaxing in a hotel.
To make matters worse my best friend and I have been rather unavailable the past month. I think I've talked to her 3-4 times in the month of July when we usually talked everyday for the past 9mo. She's still going through a rough time and me being out of town doesn't help our communication efforts.
It has just kinda been crappy on a personal basis. I'm trying some new things to meet people and be socialable but I still have a difficult time. I was talking with the VP of my company on Thursday and he mentioned, "Why don't you try to find a gf the youth group at your church." I'm 23 years old; I'm not 17-18 where I can hang out with a youth group. What I need to do is find out where the grad students in town hangout besides their labs. I'm much more attuned to finding someone who is a grad student than a coed undergrad.
What's the consensus of the night? I think the point of the entry is that I am burned out on my life and I don't have the energy to fix anything. Next week may be better; I can't really afford to think otherwise. -dave

To avoid the insanity, I try to have at least one day a week where I don't put pressure on myself to get ten thousand things done, and I just do what I want to do. It may not sound like much, but it works for me at least. It keeps me from going all mail-man homicidal on everyone, and it gives me the energy to tackle things the rest of the week.
I'm sorry to hear about your friend. *hugs*
With meeting people and girls, I've found that things happen when you're not trying to make them happen. That's what I did. I just focused on myself and having fun, and that's when I met Lowell. I didn't put any pressure on myself or the developing relationship, and now I'm marrying the guy next summer. Life is funny like that.
Well, take care honey. I hope some of this helps. Trust me, next week will be better.
