2nd year of grad school

Is now done and over. It feels kind of unceremonious. I still have practicum and thesis to work on so I am still busy except this week I am doing nothing school related. I am taking a week to veg out and relax and sadly I am already bored? How sick is that.
Instead this week I am putting together favors for a baby shower, who would have thought? I have no artistic skill what so ever but I volunteered which sucks for me. I am also this week on a mission to get my brother's graduation gift. I have no idea what to get him. He saves up for and buys everything he wants so I am pretty much at a loss. I did get him the book Oh The Places you'll go good ole childrens books for graduation.
The yay news is as I write this I will be home in 22 days 1 hour and 34 minutes. I am so excited for home and seeing my friends and family!!

Damaged Goods

So I know we all have baggage, be it big or small we all have it, and whether we want to admit it or not we all have it. I know I do but I also know well think I can control most of it. There has been times I have sabotaged things and didn't want to but couldn't stop but I like to chalk that up to " Well I guess he wasn't the one". I do not think overall I am too damaged that I don't deserve/need/want someone eventually. I just worry that before I can find the one I should be with someone will get him first and damage him beyond belief. Both men and women do this, take nice people who have amazing potential in the relationship field and fuck them up royally being psycho, bitchy, assholes, cheating etc etc. Some people are resilient some people can go through hell and back in relationships and come out of it still ok, not damaged beyond repair, but others can't. I feel it is usually the ones who have the greatest potential to be amazing boyfriends are the ones who get fucked up beyond repair. I have recently seen this and it makes me sad. Even though I do not know what the final outcome for this guy will be but interacting with him and seeing his potential but then seeing how the pain his wife put him through has damaged him makes me sad. He is a really great guy and will be awesome for someone unless the ex fucks him up more I think. That is a side note though, This is more of a PSA to stop fucking people up, stop being psycho, stop cheating, don't rush into marriage because if you just wait till 25 your chances of staying together substantially increase! Don't be psycho jealous, you need separate lives let them go do their own thing and you do yours. Don't get me wrong I make mistakes and am not perfect, but I think I am a decent catch, I just hope by the time I meet mine he isn't so damaged we don't have a chance.
