Timing isn't everything. It's only timing.

Second week of school down. Still no friends. Which is surprisingly odd because I have always been able to make at least one friend. That one friend usually ends up being the doesn't-understand-personal-space/talkative/slightly nerdy one in the bunch. There might be a few of those in my class (I won't confirm or deny this statement) and even with that fact, still, no friends. I can't tell if it's because I'm married or just older. I have noticed that since the day I became Jarman, there has been an invisible stamp on my forehead that says, "don't talk to me, I don't flirt and I don't have a really high pitched fun voice".
Or... maybe it's because I sit in the backseat everyday and don't make eye contact with the others. I actually tried putting myself "out there" for the first time ever. During one of our breaks there was a girl from my class sitting on the curb outside and I went and sat right next to her. I mean RIGHT next to her. There was no question that I was trying to invade her personal space and get her attention. I mentioned that it was starting to rain. You know what she did? Nothing! No pity laugh, not even a side-glance. I mean come one. Weather talk is the easiest type of small talk there is! I'm pretty sure everyone in the universe was staring and me in that second.
Anyway, for whatever reason, I repel future massage therapists.
With that being said, I really don't care that I'm friendless until it's time to "partner up" and then things get weird for me. I walk around aimlessly looking for someone who doesn't look BFF with another student all while trying to look really casual and like I already have a BFF outside of school so you people don't really matter to me. It's exhausting really.
Some how I have managed to get through these last two weeks and have found that I already love everything about Massage Therapy and bodywork. It's quite amazing how humans can be healed just by someone else's' touch. I am learning Reflexology right now and did you know that the entire body is mapped out on the bottom of your foot? It totally is. By working the arch of your foot, you can help alleviate pain your entire spine. It sounds kind of insane but I'm telling you. It works. Go get it done! More than once. Everyday. All day. I love my school.


Come to think of it, I have made one friend. We sit on the back row together. His name is Chase. One time while he was partnered up with a girl for the hands on portion of class, she said, "sorry my legs might not be shaved!" He replied with, "it's OK mine aren't either." How can you not be friends with that?
