My Business

Day 62----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So it seems that everyone is interested in MY BUSINESS. A lot of the girls have been talking crap about me behind my back. They are spreading all sorts of rumors about me and Jamie (the guy whose family I'm spending Thanksgiving with). I've heard things like we've kissed (Oh really? Where the hell was I?), that he's only taking me home for one reason, and even that I'm just trying to get attention. A few of the guys are doing the same things to him; cat calling, giving him high fives, asking him to give them details on how great the sex is. One of the guys even walked up to him and said, "If you do anything with Elizabeth during Thanksgiving, let me know because I don't want your sloppy seconds".

For one, it's no ones business who I hang out with or what I do with that individual, it's MY choice. Two, nothing is going between Jamie and me (not that anyone has a right to know), he invited me to his house because I live too far away and it's too expensive for me to get home. Three, I cannot believe that these people think so little of me. They think that I would just jump into his bed because I have been spending time with him. God forbid I have a few enjoyable and intelligent conversations with the opposite sex. And four, even if we WERE involved, I wouldn't let it interfere with my schooling or bring it into the work place. If it turned out that it was becoming an issue, I'd let it go. I came here for me, not for a relationship. I came to improve myself, to get ahead in what I want, and I certainly did not come here to please any of the foolish and ignorant people here.
