Girl's Night

After the last few months of hard work and stress, I was able to get out for a girls night with my best friend tonight.
Something I really needed.

There were a bunch of girls at this girls night, some I had just met, but it was a fun time.

See, I sort of have felt like I've in a bit of a rut lately since I moved to Halifax. It dawned on me last night in a moment of severe loneliness that I didn't quite make as many new friends as I had hoped during my first semester of my Masters.
Sure a lot of the girls in my program were nice and all, but I got the feeling they didn't really want to hang out with me outside of class.
Over the last couple of months I gradually added a few to Facebook, which might have been a bad idea, because I was then exposed to seeing them post pictures of different outings with each other. Outings I wasn't even invited to.
It kind of hurt.

I like to think I'm a great person to know. I can be funny, most times without even trying, and am generally a pleasant person to be around.
Sure, I can be quiet and awkward at first. But once you get to know me I'm a great friend.
I kind of wish these girls had taken the time to do that.
At first I tried to step out of my comfort zone and introduce myself and talk to them.
I've felt left out of a lot of things in the last couple of months, spending multiple nights alone in my apartment.
*sigh* Living in Halifax isn't what I thought it would be.
I really miss J. And Moncton.

Anyway, girls night.
I needed to get out of my apartment and do something for once. And my best friend happened to be in the city for a few days.
We went out for a delicious supper at Montanas (although tonight the service was surprisingly bad, they must have been having an off night), followed by catching the movie Puss in Boots for cheap night at the theatre.
Thoroughly entertaining.

It was a great way to unwind and spend time with my best friend. :D Hopefully we'll have more of these in the future.
In the meantime I'm going to try and make some new friends. Without trying too hard of course. People can see right through that.
