Girl and City

What is going on in the life of SassyGirl? Why hasn’t she posted in a billion years?

Well, ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you:
I am engaged.

That’s right, me, SassyGirl, has finally tied down the love of my life, and he’s tied me down with a rock the size of Jupiter.
We had a week-long romantic getaway in La France, and he proposed to me at midnight on the banks of the Sienne.

Actually, no, that’s what happened in the life of my roommate.

I, on the other hand, am still single and in a stressful relationship with The Business School.
So while my roommate is happily planning her wedding with her future husband, I don’t have any permanent male fixtures in my life whatsoever. What-so-ever.
There was a super cute Korean boy who I accidentally met through my coworker (FDB), but he wouldn’t even add me on Facebook! Then there were the two boys in my class (STB1 and STB2), both of whom had girlfriends. And now even MFL isn’t returning my calls.

I am going to die alone in my apartment with a tub of ice cream in my hands.

On the bright side, I’m kind of enjoying business school. I love the challenge of it all, and I am one of those people that perform much better when I’m given a difficult challenge. What can I say? I thrive on pressure.

And the lack of boy toys has also made me reach out to my girlfriends, who I have tried to make time for despite my ridiculous schedule. Why, just last Friday, I spent four hours in a tea shop listening to two girls talk about their boyfriends. Then, the next day, I went to lunch at a fancy restaurant downtown (that had the BEST creme caramel by the way) with two other girlfriends, only one of whom talked about her boyfriend. Listening to them talk made me want to throw myself at the next bachelor who walked by.

And yet, I remain hopeful. Because, as my Organizational Behaviour professor put it, “optimism without hope” is the only way to be happy in life.
