I am tired. Most of my day was spent with Joey, helping him with several things. I did not expect to spend all that time with him. What was meant to be 2 hours max ended up being an all day excursion. He also helped me with some things, too. I am grateful for his help and more importantly, his faith. I did get about an hour of free time while with Joey, so I wasn't with him straight for 10 hours.

One thing I'll say about Joey. We're just a couple of friends. We have been spending a lot of time together these past 6 months, but he does have his own life and I have mine. And at the moment, we're going in different directions. But, I can say our friendship does have a song. Not every couple has a song, but our friendship does. When I gave him rides home last summer, back when I was on campus to work on my Senior Project and he was there for class and work, and we were just some officers for the same club, I didn't know him too well. And one thing I do with people I know, but don't know too well, is I let them choose the music on my iPod. Only natural to do that with him. Well, he browsed through my 2000+ song playlist and found a song he liked. It was "We Didn't Start the Fire." He hadn't heard it in a while and it was one of his favorite songs from his younger days. So, he played it. 6 months later, he still plays it. Nearly every time we're in the car together, he grabs my iPod and turns that song on. Even if I never see him again after I finally get a job and he graduates, I will never be able to listen to "We Didn't Start the Fire" without thinking of him.

Good news is I have a job interview in Atlanta on Monday. I'm scared about it. But, I owe it to myself to go. I owe it to those that have faith in me. The job may or may not be the one for me, but I will get something out of the interview.

I saw Lindsey, briefly, today. I told her about the job interview offer. She gave me 2 books to read: What's a Girl to Do?: While Waiting for Mr. Right and He's Just Not That Into You: The No-Excuses Truth to Understanding Guys. I started reading What's a Girl to Do? during my free time. I know it's a Christian-themed book, but I am enjoying what I've read so far. It's made me believe that how I live my life is the right way. I've got a purpose in life. And I will meet the right one.

And once I got home, I had a long conversation with my father. I needed to talk to him.

But the main point is I'm tired.
