I've been feeling sorry for myself and my self-imposed semi-seclusion to study for exams for the last 6 months. I didn't exclude all socialization, but that was always a consideration and a limiter. Well, after feeling sorry for myself, I pointed out to myself that my social life probably hadn't changed that much. Get a grip, chica.
I take it back -- it has. Perhaps by coincidence, perhaps because it's my first weekend back in the big kids pool, I am booked up almost every night from now 'til Tuesday. Tonight, there's a book club meeting after work (I haven't read the book, obviously, but it's other women in the industry, so I should network). Tomorrow, it's dinner with a friend. Friday, drinks with other friends. Saturday, movie party with friends. Sunday, birthday lunch with family. Monday, more drinks (possibly dinner) with friends. (The one marginally "negative" side affect of having a variety of friendship circles is that socialization requires multiple excursions. As you can see.)
I'm actually looking forward to the furor to die down so I can get to knitting a couple hats for friends and catching up on the umpteen DVDs and TiFauxed shows that I have gathering dust.

Have fun with all your friends. If your ever in TN look me up.
Good luck tomorrow.
I'm exhausted just looking at that.
Sounds like y'all shore do drink a bit there in the big city!
Knitting time is precious. But so is good times with good friends.
To keep things in perspective, I went out with the bookclub to have drinks and had one mediocre and overpriced (I got there after happy hour ended) margarita.
Although I'm not saying I'm a lightweight (I'm not), I think most of our get-together-and-chat plans are called "go out for drinks" mainly as an excuse, not a requirement.
Anne, don't be a liar, liar, pants on fire.
We all know you're out drinking up a storm every single night, dancing on the tables, and painting the town.
Okay, probably not. But it's fun to think about...
Hee! Janiece, don't go tellin' on me! ;)
'Cause I'm that rare breed that has an online personality that is less adventurous and bold than my real-life personality. Riiight.
We did NOT dance on tables as we do have some dignity. We did paint the town; a nice coordinating color against the mountains....
