I had my first day back at work today, at best, it was horrible. Business was slow, and my manager went ballistic on be because I didn't say "excuse me" before speaking to him. I went home after my shift, took a nap, woke up crabby and homesick.
All I can think about is Minnesota. I miss my friends, I miss the trees, I miss the Minneapolis skyline, I miss the lakes and all the places where I used to go to eat, I miss the coffee shops where I would write. I really want to move back, but as far as school goes, I think it might be better to stay here. But it seems senseless to stay in a city that I only kind of like. It seems like half the city is made up of selfish, superficial, yuppie scum, and the other half is made up of uneducated ghetto folk who desperately try to make ends meet on a daily basis. It's hard to really fit in in a city like this, it's hard for it to feel like home. Though, part of me wants to stay; I love having Lake Michigan practically in my back yard, and I loathe the idea of having to have a car again.
I've also been thinking a lot about Portland, Oregon. I have a friend out there who wants me to visit. I hear all these wonderful things about the city. I suppose I might go out there one of these days to check it out. Though, I'm afraid that if I'm tempted to move out there, it would pull me further away from Minnesota. It seems like my life is in horrible need of direction right now. Anyway, it's 4:18 am, I should get to bed.
