people from school For the first time in close to a month I stopped at my local comic book shop and ran into a classmate of mine from last semester. I knew that he shopped there, but it was still odd to see him in a different setting. One world of mine suddenly merged with another one and it took a moment to adjust. It was also the first time that I met his fiance and she wasn't quite what I had pictured in my mind. The two of them seemed good with each other, but once again it took a moment to realign what I saw in my mind with reality. Actually I think that that happens with most couples that I know unless I first meet them as a couple. More often than not I only know one of them and hear stories about the other. People that I know from work certainly fall into this pattern. ... Looking back through the journal, I saw that a year ago I was talking about getting a new job and I began to wonder what stopped me from getting one. Soon I remembered that there was school to distract me followed by a couple of weeks in Australia. Then shortly after I got back to the States, I got involved with Summer. Then it was back to school for a second semester and the year was over. Somehow the year passed by with little effort on my part. Obviously I am simplifying things here, but it does appear like my idea of changing jobs got lost in the mix. One thing after another seemed to keep me occupied, which I guess is a good thing and I don't regret any of those things that I did. Still it does make me wonder whether or not, I'll be able to get a new job this year. Maybe I need to make that my primary focus if I really what it to happen.
