Yes, that's quite good! Gregariousness is a very nice attribute as a friend, and you certainly exert it well :) That's good, at least you have prioritized certain things, and maybe that isn't something you need at the moment. That's alright, with training comes preparedness, and sometimes training takes longer than expected. Just as long as you aren't doing completely nothing! Texts can distract you from your activities and goals, and usually just waste your time. Once you upgrade, you can't ever go back. I got an iPhone last March and I've been getting messages left and right, it's horrible.
