Posting this mostly just for the sake of posting. Ran up to Michigan to see my bro before Christmas – that was fun, although he had to work more than he’d expected, so a little less hangout time than we’d planned. Still VERY good to get to see him. And to exercise some up in the snow… first semester in the new place made it difficult to keep to a regular schedule on that. (Especially since the gym here isn’t nearly as convenient to get to quickly. On the up side, I started martial arts classes – kenjutsu, one of the sword disciplines. Very fun!)
Still miss Him. Miss Her, too. She called the other night to tell me she’s almost certainly gotten the postdoc job in New Zealand… 2+ years on the other side of the world. If she does, that will definitely end any hope of “us” ever working out happily. Been feeling lately like it’s time to give up and move on anyway… there’s only so long one can chase a dream before it just becomes a straw to grasp at. Or a wild goose to chase?
