I'm turning into an 80 year old woman
So wow. Been here almost a full week.
Yesterday was my first day alone and last night was my first night. Thought i'd be sadder than I was. Its more matter of fact now. I did feel like an 80 year old woman last night... sitting alone in my apartment, drinking mint tea, and watching "South Pacific at Carnige Hall" on PBS. yup.
Parents reacted a lot better than I thought. They're just sad I felt I had to do this behind their backs. They're also sad i'm not graduating. But today, my mum said "All your father and I ever wants is for you to be happy." and i think she finally got the idea that I wasn't truely happy in Memphis. So now I want to make some good money and lose some weight and prove to my parents that I can do this. and as mum said, my dad wouldn't be so against the idea if i had my degree. but i think they've realized there's nothing they can do. i just have to earn the $400-odd for the Christmas flight home.
Start the picture people probably on tuesday. I won't get a full 40 hours in this week. Which means i'm gonna have to really borrow money from Robin. *sigh* oh well. i'm looking at probably having to borrow about $300. which i can pay back in 2 paychecks (if i only make $13/hour). I just hope i get the Sears Manager gig and make $16-17+/hour. that would be wicked nice.
but living alone is ok. I need to finish unpacking... but i get started... and do a little bit, then get tired. Its really overwhelming trying to find places for everything... and i'm trying to keep the apartment neat.
tomorrow is tax-free saturday and kasey and i are going shopping. I can't buy a lot, being i lack money and have to pay out so much soon... but i need to buy a lamp for my room.
anyway, i'm gonna watch CATS and fall asleep.
