Ever get that feeling that you're on the wrong track? Completly, headed for something you thought you wanted but don't really?
I'm starting to feel that way. I have a brain for academia, I'm well aware of that, but lately I'm wondering if it is really what I want. There's a tedium to it, and a sense that you are never doing all you could.
You're probably wondering what brought this on. Last Saturday Me, Talliy, and Wulven went to a small arcade in Rhode Island, and we met up with Bradley Bandicoot, who worked there. He lvoed his job, and told us how lucrative the business is. Which got me thinking . . .
I'm not acting on any idea I've only had for a week. If I did I would probably have a dozen tattoos by now. But making decent dough is important for paying the rent purposes as well. And as much as I love exercising my mind, I also wouldn't mind living of my other vice, video games. And either way will get me over 100k in debt.
It's a thought I'm sitting on. The arcade there had weekends with a flat rate, play as much as you want (it also EXCLUSIVLY had DDR and other similar games. and Fighting games). And the business was so successful it was expanding.
I haven't even taken a single business class, but the idea WILL NOT leave my head. Normally I get dumb ideas three times a day, and forget about them by bedtime. This one won't leave me alone.
In other news, I looked at an apartment last night. It was fantabulous. Two different units available, one "studio", which consisted of a kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom. There was enough room for myu kitchen table, but there wasn't much cupboard space. like most apartments in New England, this is a recently renovated building of another type. The price tag on the studio was 425 a month.
For an extra 100 bucks a month, I could also have a "one-bedroom." And this sucker is HUGE. It rivals my old apartment in Alamo Heights spacewise, and has two large rooms, one of which has large windows and has a nice view of main street below. There is another large kitchen (again, lacking pantry space, looks like a trip to Target for a shelving unit of some kind) between the two rooms, which leaves the possibility of bringing in a roommate to split the costs if they get too hefty. And it would be SPECTACULAR for furry parties ^^.
So I'm debating which apartment to take. I'm definitly needing one of them, but my problem with the dorm is that I have no space, so I'm heavily leaning toward the bigger one. The only this that one seems to be lacking is a coat closet, something I've been craving since I left my own apartment to room with David.
Feedback, people, especially those of you in San Antonio who needs to come visit!
