Nervous

So, last night I logged into OKC just to bum around. After logging on, I received a message from The Quiet Physicist. He said that he really enjoyed talking to me ( through IM) the other night and that if I were up to it, I could send him a text or give him a call sometime (Yep, he included his phone number). I’m kind of excited, because, it’s been a while since I have actually had some ongoing communication between a guy that I am actually attracted to and vice-versa.

I haven’t sent him anything yet, since I’m not sure what to do next. Do I call him or do I send a text? I’m still holding back on expecting anything serious to happen, since well, it’s online dating. It’s a crapshoot.

I also talked to another guy last night, the Socially Conscious Dude. I started talking to him last week. He’s a little older than me, about the same height as me according to his profile, is Middle Eastern, Muslim, and cusses a bit. I like his personality thus far, and it is pretty easy to chat with him.

Other than that, not much has been happening on the dating front.

Tomorrow, I am going to be traveling out-of-town, back to the East Coast to visit my family (especially my grandmother who is battling cancer) for the 4th of July weekend. It is a welcome change for me in that I not only get to see my family, but I get away from work, if only for a few days.

Speaking of work, there is so much drama. The drama has nothing to do with my co-workers (who are all pretty awesome women to work with), but rather has to do with the students and their parents. The students, especially the girls, keep getting into arguments amongst themselves about petty things. It’s not that the arguments themselves are significant, it’s simply that they have so many fights throughout the day. One minute they are friends, the next minute one girl is crying because the other girl doesn’t want to be her friend. Then the process repeats itself throughout the day, fifteen times over with the roles switching throughout. Who knew preschoolers could be so petty?

There was also some drama with some of the parents concerning unpaid bills and their children being barred from the classroom as a result of these bills. Let’s just say that even though the parents are entirely at fault for not paying their bills, some parents decided to take it out on the teachers anyway. I’ll leave it at that.
