* never going over and talking to him after class
* seeing the cute girl get up and walk out of the rooom
* i am not allowed to look at you (that guy know's i'm looking - ha!)
* after all of this time that she was having family problems i have felt completely powerless. all i could ever do was sit and listen to her complaining, explaining, and crying. all i ever thought was that it would all be alright if i were there or she were here. she just needed one person to be there, one person to listen, and she would be 100 times better. this used to really eat away at me- being unable to do anything but listen, soak it all up, and help her feel better by just getting it out. well, last night for the first time since all fo this started, i actually had something to offer. i have been listening for a year, and finally i could point out something of value to her, i tried to give her a little insight into the nature of her problems and the people that were hurting her... why they do what they do. it seemed to comfort her to be able to put their cruel/insensitive/meaningless behavior into an understandable context. i showed her that i understand where she's coming from, and i shed a little light on a possible reason why the world is the way it is. it made me feel so good to finally be able to DO something. it only took a year - maybe there's hope for me yet.
