Sit still you wiley beast!

I cannot make my brain sit still. My mind is wandering here and there and back over here. Which is a problem because I'm trying to write a paper on Matisse and Picasso and my mind wishes to think about everything but those two great masters of Modern Art. I eagerly await the day I will not have to write any more papers. Ha! and I am considering grad school somewhere off in the future!

Perhaps if I vent a little I will be able to remove some of the distractions or at least keep them at bay by giving them some air. I am a little anxious because it is very close to the end of the semester and there's lots of work to be done but I'm overwhelmed by it and also a little in denial. Which is standard operating procedure for me. Here I am blogging when I should be writing on art theory. It will all come together in the end though. It always does. I will be writing and printing up until the very last moment, but it will be done and it will be good. That is, if the past is any measure of the present.

Also, in a very short time (4 weeks exactly) I will be boarding a plane for Italy and I am extremely excited but also anxious because of all there is to do. I am also still trying to pocket cash for spending money but things have been really tight around here lately and that has been difficult.

And finally, I recently decided to re-enter the dating world via Match.com. I don't think I'm a very good dater. I don't want to be a serial dater, I want to date someone, get to know them and form a relationship with them. But, of course, the problem is, very rarely do you meet that person sooner rather than later. You have to go through a few people before you find the right one. And...I'm not looking for a husband here. I'm just looking for someone who I can trust and have fun with and know that if I'm having a rough day, I can call him and he'll tell me to come over and he'll fix dinner for me/take me out. I want someone who I can go out and have a blast with and someone I can stay home and cuddle with. And of course...all the other benefits that come with being in a relationship with someone. I really miss benefits. mmmm....benefits.

I think the biggest issue that I (and every other woman in the country) have a problem with is the whole "will he call/when is he going to call" game. That is rather tortuous and I don't care how much I just try to chill and be all "whatever" about it, it just sucks. The way I see it, if the date goes well, you should get a call the next day. We should talk about how awesome the date was and then make plans for another one. But, there are egos involved. Two of them. And when the ego is involved, nothing is ever simple. *sigh* Ah well, I guess I will just try to have as much fun as I can. If I don't find anyone before I leave at the end of May, that just gives me more leeway to have fun with Italian guys :)
