Goals

I've decided that this semester I'm going to have a goal. It doesn't have anything to do with school because I don't need much more motivation to do good in that area. I haven't really had much trouble getting myself to do homework or do my best in classes. I know sometimes my grades don't reflect how much I do try in classes, but I do my best. No, this goal is on the social side of life. I heard once that you should be balanced in 3 aspects of life: Education/Career, Social, and Spiritual. I think I'm doing fine on the outer 2, it's the middle one I've always had a problem with. This is my goal, to do something social at least once a week and to go out on a date with a normal boy (not a weird one which is usually the kind of boy I attract). I try to fool myself and say that I don't have time for a social life because I'm taking 14 credits and I have a job, but if I really wanted, I could set aside one night to do something with people. I don't have a problem doing things with people, it's just getting it started. I never know who to invite or what to do or any of that stuff. But I'm going to try. Even though most of my friends aren't here this semester. I'm going to try. As for the date, I don't know what to do about that. I could either ask the guy on the date (which I've heard a lot of guys don't really like, but they never ask girls on dates so that's annoying), try to flirt a lot which I'm not the best at, or get other people to fix me up on dates. The guy I was trying to date last semester seems to have lost interest so I'm back at square one. Although, every time I talk to his friend, he makes little comments about how I know everything about what's going on with this guy and how we always hang out (which we don't anymore). So maybe there is still hope. Or maybe not. Maybe him and my mom can get together and get this guy to get on the stick! (just kitting mom...I really don't want you to talk to J-dawg, but I might have a talk with Adam and see if I can get him to figure things out) So those are my goals. I don't know how well this is going to work out. If anyone has suggestions for social things I can do or any advice for dating junk, let me know! I need the help.
