long ass update
So...its been a few days. I realize. But I have no internet in my dorm. Yes, I said it, DORM! Here's the story (its kinda boring, so if you dont wanna read this post, I'm warning you ahead of time! LOL)
Saturday morning, my mom decided that it would be a good idea for me to go back to Oregon (since the online classes were limited) and take a few summer school classes since there isn't anything back in Pullman (since my "internship" fell through). I didn't want to go becuz me and my friend Bethany had plans for this summer (Hoopfest and her birthday on the 4th). So I debated it up until Monday morning before my flight at 2pm. I called everyone there was to call to see if I could find something to do in Pullman, but no one answered. My old manager at Dissmores (the grocery store I used to work at) didn't call me back, and I emailed my friend Amy's mom (a friend from high school) who works in the athletic department at WSU. She referred me to some other people, but those people didn't email me back.
Devestated, I realized that there really wasn't anything in Pullman for me. About, 1 hour before my flight left, I decided to go. I packed one week of stuff, I through some shit in a bag, hoping I had everything, I was on my way back to Eugene (after we talked about where to live for like 10 hours). When I got to the airport, I saw an old manager from Dissmores. He asked me if I talked to Carl (another manager at Dissmores) and I told him no. He said that he was going to call me that day to offer me a job (too little too late I suppose). Then, when I got to Seattle, I had a few messages on my phone. Of course it was some of the people that I had contacted about an hour before I left (you know, the women my friend's mom suggested I should call) she said she had some work for me. I explained my situation (turns out she was the woman that suggested the first internship--and she kinda knew it didn't work out so well) but she told me to continue to Eugene because "you can never regret too much education". So that was nice. She told me to call her when I get back. I hope that works out well. She works in the WSU Athletic Information Department. Most of the people who work in the office have journalism degrees. This volunteer work should work out great. And I hope to have some kind of paid job too.
When I got to Eugene, I waited probably a good, half hour for an RA to let me into the dorms. She finally let me in and I was assigned a double. There was already a girl sleeping in the room, she was dead asleep and her stuff was EVERYWHERE. I called the girl back and tried to have them reassign me but she said it would not be until tomorrow. So I called my neighbor from last year (or a few weeks before I left for the summer) Darin, who was still in Eugene. He came and got me. Turns out he was still living in Ducks Village (the same complex I lived in this last school year) in a four bedroom apt by himself. I took one of the boy's rooms and stayed until tonight. Tuesday, I talked to the RA's and they reassigned me to a new dorm room (turns out it was another double, but no one was in there--I kinda lied about how I was supposed to have a single room by myself so they would give me one. Funny how some of the rooms just "happend to open up".)
Thats the story, its been a big adventure...lemme tell ya. I think there are boys on my floor (wow, that sounds so like freshman year of college) and I'm confused if we are supposed to share a bathroom or not. Do dorms do that when there is one universal bathroom for the whole hall? I'm not sure. But showering tomorrow will be interesting!
I had my mom send me some more clothes. I hope they get here soon. I'm only here for 3 more weeks though. It was a good choice, even if I'm missing out on the plans I had before I knew I was leaving. I'm finishing my science credits so thats good. And I made the choice for myself. I kinda wanted to go. I think this was really a test from God. I think he was testing me to see if I could actually make a decision that would be best for me (instead of staying in Pullman and going to do things with my friends). And I think it worked out for the best. I'm glad I could do that for me. It feels really good. Even if I did let down one of my best friends.
Jason and I are not talking. He called me last night, before he went to the bars. He hung up on me (but didn't realize it) and he is just not being the same. He's still mad at me for not wanting to be with him. But he doesn't call me. We will go weeks or months without talking--if I don't call first. He makes no effort. That is why we cannot be together (and becuz he is in Miami and I'm in Washington).
Me and Blair didn't talk for a few days, until today he hit me up. I miss him a lot. Being in Eugene is weird without him being here. I really wish I could call him and ask him to come lay with me at night like we used to. It really sucks. But I need to move on. He is not interested in me like I want him to. He loves me, I love him, but I still want us to be more than that. But he, is really not into that idea--if he was, we would be together. I think he is still in love with someone else. And I really don't want a boyfriend. But I would happily settle down with him.
Today me and Darin went to Brail's (a local breakfast cafe) for brunch. It was pretty good and I had never been there before. It was nice. And last night we went to see Live Free or Die Trying. It's one of the Live Free series. I had never seen any of the previous movies--but I really liked this one. And right now, I'm back at Darin's using his computer because I can't figure out how to get my internet to work. Plus, my computer is making these aweful noises.
Its been a while since I updated so I wanted to post right now. Its long, but its mostly for my reference. Sorry, I have no pictures. I haven't done anything but sit in my dorm room (well until today). A few days ago I cleaned Darin's house (boys are so gross!) and I've been going to class, but that's about it. I think that's all for now. I'm going to go home soon and go to sleep. No class tomorrow. WHOO HOO!! :) Update prolly in the next few days. I'll keep ya'll updated.
