Although I hate to admit it, I do sort of have a feeling that he’s back with his ex-girlfriend. What’s annoying is that he spent all this time telling me about how she was never particularly nice to him and always “took him for granted,” and would flake out on plans and just didn’t seem to be all that interested unless she needed a favor from him, and it’s like he’s just turning around and putting all that shit on me (good call Dave!).

Arghsgihrph. I am so tired of dating! I just want to be a nun. Convent life seems stimulating. Well, in some ways.

I am still waiting to hear back about whether I passed my review and can continue on with the program. I’ve heard that it can take two weeks to hear, and it’s been…half a week, so I guess I have some time to kill. Yesterday I saw the professor who is the head of my committee down the hall, and I am such an anti-social freak that I ducked into a nearby classroom before he saw me, because I was so scared that he would pass me and just come right out and TELL me that I failed. Or worse, that he’s pass by me and not be able to make eye contact. That would suck.

One cool thing is that this Saturday is the bi-annual Open Studio Night, where all the grad painting studios are open for this big exhibition, and local collectors and dealers come and see everyone’s stuff and you hopefully get interest or make sales. Since I just started I don’t have too much stuff to put up, so it’s sort of nice to be able to ease into all this and not be too stressed that this weekend is, like, my big debut into the scene or anything.

I think maybe I will ask him if he’s back with his ex-girlfriend. I can be smooth about it. That way it might also segue into a general “why are you acting differently lately” type of thing and I can stop tweaking out and imagining all these horrible things. Have a good day, guys.
