It takes a strong soul to live this life

Life is a continuous strain of tests and hardships. I’m four weeks away from my winter vacation from school and it appears I will have passed my semester with success. I’ve had my first taste of the competitive spirit that can reign between students for leadership and decision-making and it resulted in one of the female student writing me an e-mail blaming me for all sorts of things. She writes “don’t take it personally” and goes on a long tirade trying to put me back in my place.

Escaping to a place with less people around than this urban city looks better every day. I have to hold on, I cannot shake the feeling that I’m hopeful for a better future. You will encounter problems everywhere but usually they are spaced out gracefully. I just feel like no matter what I do I attract issues!

I’ve just gotten my first pair of glasses for school, my mom promised me a trip to Japan next summer if I pass school, so far I’m really liking my courses. It’s one of the mega positives in my life although as always some folks make it tougher to get through a day. Apparently there is a lot of dropping out so maybe with a smaller group we will be close-knit at some point.

One last thing, I’ve met a girl that works as a waitress at a restaurant across from my place. I find her cute and she seemed friendly the few times I went there for take-out. Since she remembered my name and I found her beautiful I bought her a Game of Thrones t-shirt and a C-3PO bobblehead (the golden android in Star Wars). She seemed to enjoy the gifts but looked a bit surprised. She only works week-ends because of University so I will see her again tomorrow. She’s a lot younger but at this point I just need some female to talk to and be friendly with.

Thanks for letting me whine and hope your day goes well.

Thanks @Minnii. :smile:

Has anyone got tips on how to further the relationship with the waitress? I went for take-out today and instead of rushing out to smoke after my order I sat near the counter and started talking with her. The conversation went well, we talked about our studies, Japan and current world events. I wanna ask her out on a date but I’ll be crushed if she rejects me!

I find her really really cute! :heart_eyes:

I don’t know, for how long have you known her? I would talk more and get to know her a bit better until I found the right moment, but than again I’m a coward at this things!! :smile:

Hey,

Just a couple of weeks. I’m cowardly too when needing to ask women out, since you’re a girl it isn’t really your job to do the heavy lifting at the beginning of a relationship.

I’m liking your advice, that’s what I would want to do, take things as they come and slowly get to know her better, then be hopeful that at some point I can muster the balls to ask her out on a date!

I followed her on Twitter but she hasn’t posted since 2014, maybe later I will send her a FB request! :sweat_smile:

Ah, kudos for talking to the cute waitress! You’re a brave man. With a little luck you may have won a nice girlfriend. Yeah, just talk to her. It sounds like you have some kind of bond with her. Lots of women are lonely too and have a hard time meeting people. This may not apply to her in this case but it is true of a lot of women.

Yeah, I feel that there are lots of tests and hardships too. I flunk most of them.
Keep that hope afloat. Hope is a reality. There really is hope.
