School is back in session and my life has normalized again. I miss the dancing - even if it did monopolize my every minute. I'm in the best shape of my life! I have to figure out a way to keep that up without hours of rehearsal every day!

Work is the same. Ben asked me to join him for lunch today. We get along so well, but I can't stop thinking that this is just a friend thing for him. I know he took his break up with the ex-girlfriend hard, but it's been a few months now. I think he needs to move on. I just wish I could figure out how to touch his heart.

Ben said he's taking me out to lunch because I've been a stress ball all week. It's true. With classes starting and things with Nicole's father, I have been so stressed. Every time I see her I just want to break down in tears. She's going through hell and she's let go of the one person who can help her. It makes me really sad.

Tonight I'm going to Josh's going away party. I haven't seen him but Molly told me he's not doing so well since Nic broke up with him. It will be so weird to be there without her. I tried talking her into going, but she says he doesn't want to see her. Apparently they talked last night and it didn't go so well.

I probably should stop now and get back to work. It's going to be a long day.
