I had intended to call Tamago this coming monday, but some unfortunate circumstances just occured.

While I was teaching I missed a phone call from you know who and it wasn't until later when I was taking a break from working out that I noticed I had a new voicemail. Going through my first few messages being from my mom telling me to call her back I finally got to the last one. It was Tamago... it turns out that she was calling me from the airport saying that she's going on vacation for the rest of the summer and how busy she has been lately. It seems like life got in our ways and kept us from spending more time with each other before she left. And when she does come back she'll be going to another college. Her message was filled with an odd sadness to it and was on my mind at for the rest of the night.

So right now I feel really conflicted... I'm going on vacation myself in a month and pretty much everybody expects me to find a girl and fall in love there. Especially because I got really close to someone there last time I went, but it didn't work out simply because of my shyness. Any advice?
