Midterm Week

It always seems that it's when you're the busiest that life sees it fit to pile everything else on you. I don't think there is one roommate right now who isn't going through relationship issues right now. As crappy that is, it's almost interesting to see for the four of us how different our relationship issues are, and I suppose that just shows how different we are as a whole. For example, Justine at the moment is having problems with an old boyfriend, a reemergence of an old flame. That would only happen when you put yourself fully into relationships, especially with a first love. I have yet to have a first love, so I doubt that would happen to me. My relationships, really I'm just killing time until I find someone I really care about. Part of me wonders if I'm just completely callous to relationships. I've always been overly cautious about people, so I've always rather that people fall for me than for me to fall for someone. Really it's a power play, and I think that's why I play a lot more games that some other people in dating. River is having problems with the guy she's had a thing for since middle school. He is a sweet guy from what I've seen, just like most guys, they're completely clueless. It makes me wonder if he even knows home much River likes him. I mean it's obvious to us, but men are just idiots, especially when they've known you so long. I won't pretend I know the situation well enough to pass judgment, but I really don't know if he has any idea, or if he just doesn't see her as anything but a friend. At least in my experience you can tell when a guy is interested, but then I'm notorious for going for easy targets anyway. I really don't know how to interpret a long harbored crush.
