i'm a new soul, living in a strange world, trying to learn a thing or two about give and take...

i've been a lazy bum about updating this so here we are.

i think i could say that the past week at salve has been really, really great. i don't want to get into the intricate details of the retreat, but Rachel and i gave our talk and i made a lot of new friends. i always thought that i was really, really good at reading people and what they were like, just from first glance and that i have really good instincts about people. some of the people who i hang out with on the retreat completely defied everything that i thought about them at first, even if the first time that i saw them was not at the retreat. i'm not sure what to make of that because i don't trust others too easily and i trust my instincts a whole lot more. i think i'm gonna go with having a little trust this time and allow these people into my life--instead of pushing them away the way that i've been known to do sometimes. it scares me, because i'm usually right about people, but i'm going to give them a chance because they've shown themselves to be really great people.

aside from the retreat, which just put me in an overall good mood for the week, i was happy except for my staying up until 4am on thursday with ridiculous amounts of work and i had to see the stagefright show. then i went home with Rachel and surprised Ari when we came to her show :-) we saw her and Bevin and Allie on saturday and we really had a blast. Rachel practiced her NEW YAWK accent which was priceless and we went to the yankees game on friday...and sadly they lost. now i'm back here and ridiculously hungry!!
