Subject: High maintenance or low maintenance???

I decided to take a break from playing my game of catch up. I had a wonderful weekend which involved NO school related activities or assignments, but I am indeed paying for it now. This weekend was so fun and relaxing. I went shopping, went out to dinner several times with friends, went to the comedy club, and Keeneland. I would love to be able to just reserve my weekends for fun activities, but I know this is not a reality. This weekend was unique in that I didn't have to work..and as I have already revealed I am paying dearly this week. I think the summer should be nice in only having the work aspect of my life and not having homework to complete in between everything else.

I had the trauma of getting my teeth worked on a Friday. My mouth is still sore and sensitive days later. I had to wear one of those lovely dental dams for nearly 6 hours...not fun times I tell you. Plus the second time I was numbed it went all the way up my left side of my face including my eye...my..my..I was a lovely sight to behold. It eventually was over..and it was worth my time getting paid to help my dentistry student with her boards. I have many more appointments lined up this week to try to get my teeth all fixed. I am dreading it, but the sooner it is done, the sooner I don't have to worry about it anymore.

It is official..I will be a UK for the next few years working on my lovely PhD. No more worrying about it..but you know it would have been nice if UGA would have graced with some type of decision.

O.k. now to explain the subject. I have been having the debate with several people about what it means for a girl to be either high maintenance or low maintenance ...and which is better. Poor Brett brought up this discussion..and I have given him a hard time for it, but it has resulted in some interesting conversation. I have been described as low maintenance ..which I suppose I agree with. I do not take a terribly long amount of time to get ready and I am not ashamed to be seen in my comfy clothes (that I change into immediately after hitting the door of my house) and bright purple sandals. (Or..evidently not ashamed to get pulled over by the lovely police in those clothes..haha..) The question is whether this is a good or bad thing. Now different people say different things. Boys..or I suppose they are men now..seem to say they like the low maintenance but go for the high maintenance . I have decided that all this doesn't matter because I am who I am...and there is no changing that. I like to be comfortable when I want, take my shoes off where I want, but I like to dress up too...and do take care of myself. Plus I shouldn't have to change for a man. I hope one day to find my better half that appreciates everything about me..including my low maintenance aspect. I know that it does exist because I have experienced that in a relationship. Anyways, that is my conclusions. Ladies, be proud of who you are and find someone who appreciates either your high or low maintenanceness. (Note: this is not to say that relationships don't involve give and take, but fundamentally the members of the couple should appreciate who each individual is). Ok...That was a random tangent...but I hope that you enjoyed it..or maybe it at least made you think or laugh..or whatever.......
