I avoid going by, yet of course the intensity with which I'm avoiding them and yet still talking about them is telling... I learned a lot, and for that I'm grateful. But they did use up all of my goodwill towards them, I have not yet forgiven them for overtaking or myself for overgiving. I'm going to maintain my current pattern and avoid the holiday party.

I’m going to maintain my current pattern and avoid the holiday party. Have fun, tho!

I was hesitant to go, though I really wanted to return the books, because I don't really feel like going back in and becoming a part of it again. I feel like I got what there was for me to get out of that experience. I learned some useful stuff, I met some interesting folks, and I also figured out that my path does not lie in the direction I felt myself moving in while there. On the other hand, I am expecting to attend at least part of the holiday party (I'll have to leave to run a performance of Nutcracker that evening) just because it will be nice to visit. Besides, there's a chance my father and brother will be there again. I stopped by there to return some books I had borrowed while I was spending more time there.
