Last night was pretty entertaining and social (by my standards) If you know me really well, you'd be shocked to spot me in bar drinking...and talking. Yes, I'm no social butterfly.
My Saturday nights usually include movies and takeout with the b/f, who is equally content with the wasting of our Saturday night on this activity.
BUT last night was fun! Had a ball of fun with meeting a new person. This challenged my social skills. And this is daggy but whilst talking, I was thinking of the major benefits of interacting and socialising with human beings:
1. Keep your mind in tip top shape (That is expanding your horizons)
2. Your socializing skills increase (and so does the argumentative ones)
2. Prevent Alzheimer's disease
3. Make new friends!
Okay, so the positive outweighs the negative and the question begs, 'WHY HAVEN"T I BEEN DOING THIS ALL ALONG??'
In economics, we would call this an opportunity cost. The opportunity cost of having a quiet, comfortable Saturday in is all of those things I just mentioned above! Wow.
You'd be outta luck if you're trying to reach me on my home phone this Saturday night, that's for sure.

So far....so GREAT
Since moving here over a week ago, I'm feeling optimistic and driven to succeed in order to help my family, myself and Blake.
My first week at uni was wonderful, and that is a statement that is a surprising utterance coming from my mouth I can assure you. This is the first time in many years, in which I have felt similar to my childhood years. That is, living on the outside and interacting with the world as opposed to living in my thoughts. This may seem trivial to anyone else but to me, it's a breakthrough comparable to accomplishing a feat such as climbing Mt. Everest
I'm excited. I'm invigorated. I'm lucky to have a family, Blake and a roof over my head. I'm thankful for the life that I live.
Life is too short not to try. And in uni, I'm trying and it feels fabulous! I've made a friend in Xuan too! It's been too long since I've established a friendship relationship that holds promise of exceeding the acquaintance stage.
I'll keep you posted on more as soon as there's more to tell :)
