I had nothing better to do one fall evening. The leaves were turning colors on my college campus, and I was through studying for a while. I wandered around aimlessly, a light gait in my step, and my mind darting between thoughts. It's going to be a good evening.
The transfer to this college was one of the best decisions I've made. My previous college was starting to affect my health. Things were not going as planned, negative events in my personal life, and a total lack of direction were all catalysts to get me where I am now. I can compartmentalize very well, but last semester was a challenge. In my Psychology 101 class, I can still hear my professor defining that word, compartmentalize: "Compartmentalization allows conflicting ideas to co-exist by inhibiting direct or explicit acknowledgement and interaction between separate compartmentalized self-states." A smile spread across my face - guess that's a fancy way of saying I'm fucked up!
A voice calls across a field "hey Jules, wait up." It's a classmate of mine from Biology. We party together once in a while, so I've seen her in action. She can get a little out of control once in a while. Nothing over the top, just knows how to have a good time.
We talked for a while, you know, the typical girl banter, when she threw this out there: "Ready to see Joe again?" she asked. "A couple girls were talking and they told me that they heard that his you-know-what is very large," she said with a smile.
