just another manic monday!

Well technically my Monday hasn't been manic...but my Friday was!!!  ugh.  Talk about the worst Friday I've probably had in years...literally.  Just trying to get through this semester and graduate on time...but it's looking like that might be falling by the wayside.  I may have to wait and graduate at the end of the summer semester.  While this is not what I really want...it's really not that terrible.  However, I am disappointed in the way things have gone because I don't feel I was given adequate direction in determining this lovely timeline I am now following at record pace!  New timeline = 15-25 page paper done by Valentine's Day (awesome...NOT!), revise a million times, allow my committee 2 weeks to read and accept, oral presentation and defense, and lastly 3 comprehensive final exams....all supposed to be finished by May 7.  While I think this seems rather reasonable...no one else does!  Apparently this revision process is going to take me 2 months.  AHHHHH!  And so my rant continues from Friday! I experienced a stress level that I didn't even know existed on Friday! Today, slightly experiencing a high stress level...but I have decided to let it all play out and not freak out.  If I don't get done, I don't get done.  I'll finish in May then.  Something I learned about myself today and this weekend...sometimes it isn't going to work out the way you want it, so just go with it!  I'm going! :)

So I'm going to start doing this regularly...ask myself a self discovery question each day!

Today's question: What type of people do I enjoy spending time with? 
I enjoy spending time with people who make me laugh.  I always enjoy having a good laugh, I think that is important to do everyday! I also enjoy spending time with someone who shares the same interests as me, but I also enjoy spending time with people who don't as well.  I want to learn everyday and I know that hanging out with people who can teach me something will allow me to keep learning!  An intelligent person would definitely be enjoyable!  There's a big but to this though, I don't enjoy spending time with people who are "know-it-alls"!  I know I don't want to spend time with someone who always has the right answer.  To go along with that, I don't like one-uppers! I enjoy people who care about others, want to see people do well, have fun in all that they do, laugh, joke, smile, and just enjoy life.  I enjoy the company of those that are smart, self-driven, funny, open-minded, active, sports-friendly, optimists (even though I myself am a pessimist!).  

What will this tell me about myself?  I'm not sure yet, but I am sure that the longer I continue to ask myself questions and make myself answer them, I will learn something!  Maybe I will stop surrounding myself with people I don't enjoy spending time with...but I'm not sure I even do that anyway!

I have two questions for any of you today as well.  I'd like to know what type of people you enjoy spending time with.  And my second question...I feel like I have no idea how to make friends!  Yes I'm 26 and I just said I don't know how to make friends!!!  ha  You can laugh, I know you are!  How do you make friends with someone?  

Have a great Monday everyone!
