I haven't written in a long time, but sometimes you just feel like you need to write, and that time is today. Things are interesting here. The holidays are over and I have to go back to school on Monday, and I'm kinda just ready for that all to be over. I wish it would be done. I feel like I'm ready to get on with my life...
Arthur's stressing me out because he doesn't have a full semester because he never went in to talk to his counselors. =( I don't know what that's going to do for him. I do know one thing though, not only will he be screwed because he won't be full time, but we will also not get his full refund back, which will mean that we won't be able to make rent in a couple months. That's great, huh?
I'm looking forward to the months ahead though, because I've decided that I'm going to take my newly acquired paid vacation time and visit some friends in Chicago for my birthday. Arthur's not real excited about it, but I feel the need to leave and find myself. I want to know that I'm going the right place, doing the right things, not in general, but for me. The right things for me.
Sam hasn't talked to me since September, when we went out for Arthur's birthday, which has been hard. I still think about her with almost everything I do, but I don't know how to make things better. I don't know how I could have known to do things differently. Maybe time will fix this, but I can't see how. I think I've lost a friend, which hurts. I miss her.
Jake's been quiet lately too. I almost wonder if Sam hasn't moved back, and maybe he's trying to patch things with her, and by doing so isn't talking to me. People grow apart, but I feel that there's more than that going on here.
Jim Butcher's coming to our store in April, and my friend Jason from Chicago is going to come here to get his books signed and hang out, and I think it'll be cool. I'm looking forward to that too. I just wish it would get here sooner. I have no problem wishing away this semester. It's going to be busy, and tiring. I've joined a real book club. We're finishing up Harry Potter, and then we're going to start picking up new books. I think it'll be fun. It's nice to make new friends. Andrea from my work and I are starting to hang out, and Lisa is cool too. It's nice to have friends at work. Makes being there more tolerable.
I called off today, to get some rest, woke up with a migraine this morning, but then Arthur called off too. He'll be here later this evening. He thinks he's got the flu. Downside is that he only works two days a week, and just called off for one of them. =/ I don't know what to do about that.
Anyway, all in all though, things are going forward. Don't know if they're neccissarily good, or bad, but they're moving.
It's a New Year, and I'm curious to see where it takes me.
