Today went a bit better. I kind of figured out that what I need to do is not ignore cute boy, but to hold back going out of my way to try to get his attention. That's how I went about it today, and things felt much better. I don't want to do something negative (like ignoring him) because it only breeds more negativity. By staying positive and not trying so hard, I can keep my self respect and still be perfectly nice and sociable. I knew there was something not quite right about my plan, but I couldn't quite figure it out. Today, while talking to friends on break, I just acted normal when he came up and joined in. I realized that wasn't giving in to being treated badly, but just handling it in a more mature manner. Hopefully I can mantain this more mature attitude. We'll see...
Otherwise, things are okay. I had to work today because we had a couple of snow days this week. The temp went from a high of 80° one day, to 30° the next. That's typical for Texas though. The saying is, if you don't like Texas weather, just wait a minute. Its the only place where while in your car, you use the heater and the air conditioner in the same day. You never know how to dress either. I guess that's why even though its not as cold as up North, you never seem to be able to adjust to it. It ended up getting as low as 11°, which set a record here.
Snow days in Texas aren't the same as up North. It just means the streets have ice on them. Although they do sand the streets, its slow going. Plus nobody here has snow tires or the slightest idea how to drive on ice. You'll be driving along at 30 mph, trying not to fishtale, and someone will come up on your bumper, and pass you at 60 mph. Those are the ones who cause the accidents.
Its starting to warm up now though, so I'm happy. Talk to yall later
