I know, I know, I'm slipping already...blame Jennifer, she's the one who wanted DVR :) (Just kidding). Well, for a recap...last Friday, I got internet (that I pay for, ha) and cable, so I played with that for a while before trying out the coffee shop down the street (which I love!). Speaking of new loves, I love the Psychology Today magazine--it's great. (I suppose I'm making up for no more psychology classes!)
Sunday morning, I tried our Providence Baptist down the street--big place! Then Mom, Dad, and Jennifer came for the day--we finally have bought furniture for the apartment, which should be here this time next week! We had Macaroni Grill and who do I see but Jessie, the ONLY person I know in the Raleigh area, ha. Small world. Jennifer stayed the night and we watched way too much TV. Monday, we got my car fixed (brakes...who needs 'em?)
Guess who came to see me Tuesday...Kathryn! :) I got my first glimpse of downtown Raleigh and the Armadillo Grill (which was yummy!) Then we went by Enloe to visit her alma mater and Burrages (which I could spend hours in!). It was so good to see her and learn a little bit more about Raleigh! After she took me back home it was time for rehearsal...and it was a HOT one!
Wednesday was another lazy/errand day, ha, then Thursday morning I packed up the car and went back to Boone! It was good to see everyone (even if the meetings were a little "less than stimulating," but oh well!). Surprisingly, the trip was easier than I thought! I was worried going back up the mountain and not having anywhere to stay and all that jazz would make me miss it, but I actually was a little homesick for my apartment, so I guess that's good! But I DO miss my friends and it's going to be weird not seeing them all the time. I drove back after my meetings (rather anxious about student teaching, yet again, ha) just in time for the first football game at Leesville Road--we won! (They played Queen in the stands, hence the post title). I'm glad I don't have a cooperating teacher that yells at me like I'm 8...and my heart goes out to those who have a certain person as an advisor....eek!
*Phew* So now you know much more than you ever wanted about the last week. Sarah comes tomorrow to visit for the weekend, then teacher workdays start Monday! Mr. Albert told me he'd put me to work, so at least it'll be nice to get a week of a schedule before I go full fledged into 6;45 rehearsals every morning! Eek!
Now, for something completely different, a little tidbit that I found in a Psychology Today magazine (thank you, Wake County Library!)...
So both men and women are interested in a partner with a good seense of humor (aka GSOH), right? Women typically use humor to bond....yay, giggling; men, however, use humor to compete with each other (practical jokes, put-downs, etc...) Apparently studies show that how much a woman laughs around a man is indicative not only of her interest in him, but also in his desire to date her. The article even suggests that a woman's laughter and a man's sense of humor have evolved because they are desired in relationship, so it's another way men "compete" for women. on the other hand, how much a man laughs in a conversation does not seem to matter....she wants someone who can make her laugh, he wants someone who will laugh at his jokes. In fact, if a woman has a more masculine sense of humor--aggressive/competitive--it's a turnoff for guys. BUT, the article does say women who find men who enjoys her humor shows that he is supportive and has a strong self-esteem.
Kinda interesting, huh? What do you think?
