coming back from the dead
It's been a while. I haven't had internet access at home, due to the complete and utter lack of a phone jack in my bedroom. This is supposedly being remedied, along with the lack of a cable outlet, on Friday. We shall see.
So what have I been doing with all my free time, since I'm net-less and cable-less and job-less and school-less? It's a less-fest, I tell you. It's been very boring. I don't know why I thought being at home would be so much better than being at school. I mean, yeah, no Emily, but otherwise it's no greater. It's lonely. I feel like I don't even belong there, really. No one is ever home, and when they are they don't talk to me. For once in my life I'm interested in having a decent conversation with my parents and it's apparently too much trouble for them. I'm not loving the new house.
I've been busy trying to find a job, because I need to move out. It's time to be on my own, or at least not with my parents. I love my family, but there comes a time when you just can't live with them any longer. That time is now. Actually, that time has come and gone and is now resurfacing with a renewed vengeance. I called two prospective employers yesterday, and I just typed up a resume to send to another. I think it's an acceptable resume for someone who has had nothing but a string of part-time retail and food serve jobs.
Hopefully I can snag a job in the next few weeks, and then within a few months start looking for an apartment. It has to happen. If it doesn't, I will insane. Certifiably, straight jacket and padded walls, needs to be restrained INSANE. Because I'm just miserable and increasingly tired of life, and something needs to change. The living arrangement seems like a good place to start.
I'm in the Gen Lab at LVC now, waiting for Adam to finish his last final. I have to stop by Dr. Pettice's office to have her sign my timesheet, and then it's off to sell back the rest of our books. It won't be much money, but any is better than none. I picked up my English research paper before coming over here - I got an A. I always get an A. I don't think I've ever gotten anything less than an A on a paper. It's nice.
I'm starving. I didn't eat breakfast before we left this morning, because food is a rare and elusive beast at my house these days. My dad doesn't do the grocery shopping anymore, because he's not at the house much. My mom's definition of an acceptable food supply is apparently much different than his, and mine, and that of the rest of the world. My daily diet has consisted of dried apricots, toasted tortillas, and a small bowl of pasta for dinner. It's very sad. I shouldn't complain, though. Maybe it'll help me shed some pounds. That would be a nice side-effect of involuntary fasting.
Well... I haven't been online in ages, so I'm going to go see what I've been missing. I'll write whenever the phone jack gets installed, hopefully Friday.
Ciao.
