Breaking of spring!
FINALLY! I'm done for about 4 days! Then its back to work on reading and writing my paper, and studying for physics.
I can't wait to go home! Get to relax, see my mom and dad, and my dog too. Hopefully I will get to see Robert, and we can again ignore the fact that we don't talk while we are away at college. Maybe if we get a little tipsy it'll come up during our ride home. I guess I have no Idea really what I want to hear from myself or him. Maybe something along the lines of, "Don't worry, we will always be friends." I don't know, it's hard to find a friend you really truly appreciate, then not talk to him. If anyone wants to share some wisdom on how they have dealt with a situation like this, I would LOVE to hear it. God knows I need it.
Speaking of God, I think this next book really interests me. "Love Medicine" seems like a book I might enjoy. Not because I want to hear about religion necessarily, but because I think it will help me to understand where I am at with my own spirituality. Although I'm not Catholic, I went to a Catholic school, and know most of the teachings, and inner workings of the church. I guess I just want to hear what everyone else has to say about religion. Hopefully I can learn a lot.
Well, wish me lucky with my "homecoming" and my dealing with my semi-situation.

Well, I don't know that I understand your situation well enough to offer any real advice, but it seems to me that the major thing is thinking through what your own feelings are and what it is that you want (which you already seem to know, but sometimes it helps to hear it again). Maybe you should try to articulate for yourself what about Robert makes you feel him to be such a good friend and what you want him to know, and then try to gently initiate that conversation. I'm not sure relying on getting tipsy is the best way to bring about that kind of discussion.
Hope your trip home goes well, and that you enjoy Love Medicine too.
The only way to get someone else to talk is to take the plunge and talk yourself -- tell him what you've been thinking, tell him your feelings, tell him you want to talk. I know that those kind of conversations are scary -- I always feel vulnerable when I talk about my feelings -- but learning to talk like that is essential to any relationship. So think of it as a necessary skill you are learning.
I will be interested to hear what you think about Love Medicine. It's a pretty powerful book but also a complex one.
Have a great break.
