Baking Cookies

You never really learn some things about a person until you bake cookies with them.

I visited a friend from Curry earlier today and we were talking, laughing, bitching, having a good time. We had dinner and then started baking cookies for the arrival of her roommate in the morning. That's when she opened up about family problems and her inevitable lack of sex because she just broke up with her boyfriend. Let's just say I never pictured this person as very sexually active, and the fact that she mentioned multiple times about how she's already dreading the prospect of no sex for a while kind of floored me. All I could do was sit there and listen as she mentioned sex and then came to the verge of tears while describing her family situation.

I put in my two cents where I could, mentioning the problems I've had in the last year and a half in order to maybe make it seem like she's not the only one going through a rough patch...although...I've got things pretty set for now, so I don't know where I was going with it really..

All in all it was a good night, but I'm still kind of in a daze about the whole..thing. I did find out that I make my cookie dough balls too big. And I also found out that I'm not the only one who feels completely overwhelmed about student teaching starting up VERY soon.
