It's been a while since my stomach has really been tied in knots. I'm not sure what to do. I'm really scared. So, here's the situation. Last night, someone (Patricia Eddowes) sent me this email:

"if your online call the dorm right now

iam suzies friend she asked me to do this

she needs to talk to you asap"

That's the entirity of the email (Subject line: "suzie"). I didn't get it 'til really late, so I couldn't call. Then she called earlier this morning. I couldn't quite make out most of what she said, as it was really staticy, and her speech kind of ran together, which is where I have trouble hearing to begin with. But I did make out a few things - first, she needs me to pick her up today around 4 or 5. Not sure where she'll be for a while, or what's up. The other thing I did hear was "I'm going to Galveston ". I'm not sure what that element was - I'm pretty sure the second part was "-ever", which narrows it down quite a bit. The two leading contenders are "whenever" and "forever". "Whenever" would be cool, 'cause it'd mean she's going home for Winter Break. But I'm pretty sure she said she was going back for 13 or the 18th, or something like that. The "Forever" scares me, though, for a couple reasons. I guess the least one would be that I don't know what it would do to our relationship. But the worse part about that is that it means something drastic had to have happened to cause it. Argh! I just want her to be happy. But then again, it might be something else entirely. I just don't know... but it doesn't look good, especially with the email couped in. I'll guess I'll find out in... 3 or 4 hours or so. It's the waiting that kills me. I've always had a really fast mind, and it has no problem applying all of its speed to conjuring up as many worst-case scenarios as possible. Well, I need to do the dishes, clean up my room, etc., before I go get her, so I'd better get to it. Maybe it'll help take my mind off whatever's about to happen.

Yeah, right.
