And, It Continues

Text Message Received From The Lawyer:  Hey!  Are you still in town?  I just finished my workout and am a mess, but was gonna grab a drink somewhere.

Response Sent By Me:  That sounds awesome, but I'm actually home in VA already and have an exam in the morning.  :(  Next week sometime?

The Lawyer's Response:  I figured as much, but thought it was worth a shot.  Break a leg on the test.

If last year was the Year of 50 First Dates, this year is rapidly turning into The Year I Decided to Try the Patience of Every Man Remotely Interested in Me.

*sigh*

Isn't medical school fun?  (Rhetorical.)

I wish I could say that it gets better as med school/residency goes on...but I think they call that lying. The good thing about trying a man's patience now is that it's a good test for how well he's going to be able to put up with your work in the long run. If it bothers him now, he won't be a good one to stick around.

Solitary Diner- You speak sage words, indeed.

I think this is called trying your OWN patience, because holding out for another week doesn't sound like much fun to me.

OMDG- Lol! I have to wait until next week, because The Lawyer is leaving town for a work thing today. He'll be gone all weekend, so by default, I have to meet him next week. I wasn't all that much productive after he sent the text message, though. Totally should have taken a study break. It did not occur to me until just now that I could have had something non-alcoholic. All I was thinking was "alcohol + night before an exam = terrible idea."

At least you said it sounded awesome. . . keep the non-alcoholic study break option in mind for next time!

Always the way isn't it? When you are too busy to care, the guys are around. I hope you two find some time soon to meet! Have fun!
