So my advisor and a number of my professors are on my facebook now, so I can’t really be myself as much…
I don’t want them to perceive every whining I do as a cry for help or something, that’d be exhausting…The down side of this is that I can’t express myself on facebook as much anymore… which used to be a relief for me…

Hagit hasn’t responded to my email about the abstract, but then again, give her a break, I only sent it this morning…

I’m moving into Elena’s new place tomorrow… I’m a bit nervous about staying at her place, I’m shy…

I feel like I was a total dork today when I gave the graduates the appreciation presents… i don’t know why i couldn’t think of anything even remotely intelligent to say…I don’t think I’m any more comfortable with Hagit now than I was before, whenever she’s around I turn into a total dork, which is my natural state… but I don’t know why she triggers it…but whatever, i’ll get over it…

i am soo tired…

I have been dating Tom for two years now, and we got engaged in February in one of the geekiest and most romantic ways ever

After I had my week of “freaking out” over having gotten engaged, I realized something… I realized that nothing changed that day.

Why hasn’t anything changed? Because we have a healthy relationship, a continuous one, the kind that does not change overnight.

So it‘s true, my relationship with Tom did not change on February 13th, 2009. It changed on many unmemorable days that lead up to February 13th, which we chose to mark as a landmark for romantic reasons. This relationship kept changing after February 13th, and still is.

To explain the title: I normally refer to Tom as my partner, rather than my boyfriend or fiancé.
Some may find this reference unromantic. However, he and I both believe, that it is the most accurate, and most romantic, term to describe our relationship. We are partners, we have chosen each other, to share everything, and to continuously be together, as best friends, companions, and romantic partners.

So when I refer to Tom as my partner, it is not to lessen the romanticism of our fiancaille, but to emphasize the continuity of our friendship, our commitment to always be together, and to always be there for each other.
So this is why I avoid using the provisional terms of reference. Partner is a definite description that changelessly describes Tom for me.

…It is not that our relationship doesn’t change, it is only that it doesn’t change on those days that we decide to celebrate it…

I think I’ll actually call him husband when we get married though, since that is not a provisional term

Hagit and I submitted a joint abstract this week, it was awesome working on it. She did most of the writing, I was mostly thinking of the data and stuff… I really appreciate the fact that she was interested in writing an abstract with me… it was a great learning experience (though she didn’t seem convinced of it)  - I learned how to control the paradigm, I got to see how she thinks, and I got to talk about my favorite topic to her for hours! it was great

Tom is here, and I’m on cloud 7 because of that  I love this guy soooo much!  He’s the bestest. (I am now on his EEE pc on campus because my internet broke)
