| How time flies when you're busy and having fun!!! JAJA
3 good things from the day:
1. i had an awesome line-up of clients today. everyone was super cool and kicked butt.
2. my interview at GE is scheduled for next Wednesday at 1:30pm!!! OMG i'm totally excited but not nervous (yet). I have a great track record with them but I need to remain humble.....
3. i was promoted at NU today ^_^. I'm now a research coordinator and i'll be making slightly more money (yes it took less than a month to get promoted). That aside, I'll get to head up more studies and my exposure to their med school and other organizations will be greatly increased!!!
So this weekend is gonna rock. My cousin is having a surprise birthday party at Dave and Busters and another group of cousins is going to Gramercy that same night. A little video gamin, some boozin and then dancing... what more could you ask for?!?!?! Well maybe a 20 y.o. mixed girl who's a pre-med student at U of I or NU... JAJAJA
Dance lessons are going really well. Next week I'll progress to Salsa 4, Intermediate Bachata 1, Body Isolations and perhaps Samba. Its still very hard to verbalize how much fun i'm having.... ^_^
This will perhaps be the final post concerning the ex as things have finally concluded (to my satisfaction at least). So she returned and apparently had a third set of keys. We spoke briefly on the phone that night, nothing emotional just friendly chatting. That weekend she celebrated her birthday at a downtown club and i made an appearance for 20minutes and left. The following Tuesday she was downtown and we met up and spent a few hours at the park talking about various subjects. The only weird moment came when she asked me if I had missed her while she was away. I answered honestly in the affirmative but left it at that. When I dropped her off at her apartment, I made sure to hand her the apartment keys..... DONE.....Her number has been deleted from my phone so there's NO chance of drunked txts or calls (believe me i've made a few bad calls in college jaja).
The world is my play pen and I'm free to explore at my hearts content ^_^

| lets begin w/ the traditional "good things from today" list.
1. it sounds crazy but waking up at 3:30am today was actually fun and worth while. all my clients kicked butt and the day flew by. my 5pm client called and canceled like 2 minutes before the session but it gave me a little time to lift jeje.
2. the 6pm and 7pm boxing classes were fun as hell tonight. they're usually enjoyable but tonight everyone was hitting hard and the energy was way up. i was actually sweating from focus mitts!!!
3. i didn't go to NU today and instead took a much needed nap. 3 hours of sleep never felt so good 
Randomness:
Before getting off the wave of good news, let me say that I finally broke the NU curse jajaja. I'm working downtown at Northwestern's medical center conducting kidney research on patients on dialysis. OMG the drive from the gym to NU is so empowering. It feels like i'm finally leaving my plataue and back on the upward path of success and fulfillment. The job is great!!! I'm working part time at NU and full time at the gym so it means that Tuesdays and Thursdays are very long days (start at 4am and end at 9pm) but its well worth the sacrifice.
(beware bitching will commence)
Switching topics....my ex and i haven't communicated in any form for 5 weeks. Suddenly on Tuesday i get an email from her. She recently became ill and was admitted to the hospital. She had fainted due to dehydration (stemming from oral/urinary fluid loss) and found the episode frightening. I guess i'm a dick b/c as I'm reading this i was emotionally ambivalent. It did raise more questions however i.e. ( why choose this topic as your first email to me? why mention the hospital visit if you're out and feeling better? etc) The psychologist in me wants to understand the "why" behind her actions... My response was cold and direct and I made sure not to ask any questions which would necessitate another email. She did respond however and i think she got the message.
I don't know if she has forgotten, but I still have her only set of apartment keys. She hasn't mentioned it and I'm not going to remind her. I think thats why she had initially given them to me. Perhaps the game is to let the keys be the catalyst for communication with her. I don't play games and I'm not going to remind her. If she doesn't ask about them by Sunday I won't be receptive to any communications from her until AFTER her return. What she does to overcome that hurdle is no concern of mine. I know its childish and very immature but common. I've had this constant reminder of her and her return date burned into my mind for what purpose? Surely she didn't respect my wishes of 1. breaking up or 2. breaking all ties. All I know is the next 4 days are going to zip by and the conclusion to our relationship can finally occur....
The "lets be friends" thing won't work either. Those who know me know that I hate falling into trends. Everything i do goes against the norm and this matter won't be any different. I thing Gise is accustomed to ending relationships and then having the guy seek her out again (the trend she enjoys). She told me her previous two ex's wanted to rekindle something even though they knew she and i were dating. And she considered them both "friends." Well FUCK THAT. Once I return the keys to her its Done. No calls, no emails, no "lets do lunch and catch up." Why you ask? Because if you're emotionally ambivalent toward someone, the event or action holds no value. I don't want to know what she's doing b/c I DON"T CARE. Its cold and its true. I barely have time to see my closest friends on any regular basis so why the fuck would i want to make time to see an ex?
I'm currently fighting the urge to log onto YahooMessenger. <stay strong>
Ok enough bitching for the night. I'll continue this rant and maybe a new one tomorrow night after dance class ^_^

| Where to begin.... there are so many good things from the weekend.
-Friday night's salsa class was spectacular. For some reason only half the class showed up so there were 5 people plus the instructor. We're dancing and rotating partners and it initially seemed like Julie (the instructor) and I would dance the longest. But as we kept going throughout he cycle it became obvious that she and I were dancing for a significantly longer time. I was beaming. She's a young (early to mid 20s), short, petite girl and OMG she's gorgeous. I am careful to throw that word around so yeah.... I stuck around after the salsa lesson and tried the bachata class. Again i was blown away by the dancing (the instructor was meh jeje). It was so much fun to spend 2+ hours just dancing and learning new moves. I really need to find a tap dance studio and begin taking lessons.
-Saturday was a fun day at work that was capped w/ a lift w/ Mabbo. We shared stories from the previous weeks adventures and had a blast. Afterward I spent 3 hours helping my mom cook for today's feast!
-TODAYS FEASTING!!! We made 2 lasagnas, a roast beef, ham, spinach salad and grilled veggies. Totally healthy but I definitely ate way to much jaja. My cousin and her fiance are moving to downtown Hinsdale or Clarendon Hills and i can't wait. She was my best bud when we were younger and it's gonna be fun to have her so close by ^_^
Randomness:
3 weeks and no communication from the Ex! I'm not sure if the exclamation point signifies jubilation or consternation..... I spoke to our mutual friend and she has had some email exchanges with her. Apparently i'm being given space.....All day today I struggled and fought the urge to email her. The battle went as follows: "go ahead email her, tell her you wish her and her family a happy easter and that you hope she's having fun." The converse: "well she's the more religious one, why hasn't she emailed you wishing for the same thing. If she won't then I won't and that will continue to extinguish the once ragging fire of emotions." The latter thought process won out...
A once free flowing river
stopped and dammed at the will of another.
Pressure builds behind the wall
Emotionally stagnant waters
slowly poison the swimming thoughts.
The dams destruction is dated
but it feels like a lifetime away.
It is natures way to find an alternate
and given time the river will find a way....
a work in progress, i'll rework it tomorrow.

| 3 good aspects of the day: ^_^
- i went for the interview at labtemps and things look promising. They're a placement agency that helps people find research work in the food/pharma/chemical industries. While its not medical/clinical research, I need to start somewhere. (on an aside, all the women working in the office were very attractive!)
- i did cardio again tonight!!! two nights in a row what-what!!! jaja. Seriously though, i need to drop some bodyfat by this weekend. Tomorrow i lift but in the evening we're going to sushi house and i always indulge there.
- Nadia's workout today was super successful. The poor girl and regressed into a low level of fitness but she's a trooper!
Randomness:
I'm emotionally stagnant right now. I'm reflecting on the past and hoping for the future....I should be taking advantage of the opportunities at hand (w/ respect to friendships/relationships) but the previous door i've stepped through hasn't fully closed. It will come May 1, and then i'll continue my forward progress..... And i'm still listening to Luis Miguel :-p

| 3 good things from the day:
1. i heard back from labtemps and I have an interview tomorrow. The pay sucks but i'm gonna work them over to get what i want.
2. i trained my favorite client today ^_^ She did an awesome job but she was shocked that I checked whether or not she worked out yesterday. She promised she would so when i saw her brother and not her, I decided to check our computer system. Totally legal.... Hey i care about her goals....
3. some quality cardio time w/ a coworker. we spent 30 minutes doing cardio (and i hate cardio) but we chatted the whole time and it was enjoyable.
4. my client gave me the number of her babysitter. Her name is kelly, she's 23 and works at a hospital. That being said, I'm not gonna be some random douchbag that calls out of the blue and is all "uh hey i got your number from my client, whats up?" I think i need a little more background info before i call and I'd like her to atleast expect the call too. Hopefully my client has talked me up jeje.
Randomness:
So i figured out why I can't emotionally move on. Its the damned keys!!! FLASHBACK: As giselle and i were breaking up (on the way to the airport) she asked me to hold her apartment keys. She probably knew that if she had left having no connection w/ me I would fully and completely move on. However, her shrewdness figured that if she gave me something of high importance (and her only set of apartment keys qualifies) that I would be forced to think of her occasionally. Thereby preventing the memory of her from fully fading away....
I think some pathetic part of my subconscious still believes that she'll come back and want to resume something. Thinking logically I know this won't happen and i'm merely setting myself up for disappointment. But I'm a masochist and proud. I'll enjoy the pain and i'll take solace in the fact that I knew what she would do before she did it.... yeah i'm a sick bastard. I should also change the CDs in my car. Listening to Jaheim, Musiq, Luis Miguel and Gene Kelly don't really help the healing process.
