Well, here I am.
I like working at the Golden Bear Inn, and the job has future potential in that I can usually finish whatever work that needs to be done quickly, and have plenty of spare, unsupervised time to study, write, read, work on other projects, whatever.
Money is still tight. I've been working overtime at the Golden Bear because one of our employees left. Still, trying to take care of two people on my salary alone is possible, but uncomfortable. I haven't been able to save any money at all. No furniture.
I'm tired of having nothing to show for the years that I've gone to school, and want to finish some degree programs already. I wanted to get that Bachelors in Humanities, with a certificate or minor in teaching or public relations. But I want to get something done sooner. I was just going to do that for the hell of it, really. Maybe I'll just take the three classes that are missing for my associates, and then jump to Ex'pressions. I would love to just do this the hard way, for the admiration, and just read books about it, but I want to be immersed and take these classes at a school. I need the background. So, that's for the future.
Carlos Fundora is moving here, with his girlfriend. The plan is, I will move in with him and his girlfriend, and leave Chris to live with Adrian Valdes, who also moved here. I will come away from Vallejo and into the Berkeley/Oakland area, or something in a generally accessible area of the east bay. I'll save about $100 dollars a month in transportation. We can actually find places at rent that is similar to what I'm paying now. I can't do it by myself, but if Carlos wants to get a two bedroom with me, him and his girlfriend in one, mine and I in another, we can afford it. We'll just have to pull it off for 6-months to a year, until Ira is able to work.
There are a lot of musicians and artists here. They seem much more easily accessible than in Miami. All of my co-workers in the front desk are musicians, for crying out loud. There are tons of venues for local and traveling musicians. There is still a lot of this place I haven't seen, but I'll get around to that.
I usually want to write a journal entry pretty bad, and whenever I get the chance, I don't feel like it anymore. Well, I'll stop here I guess. I don't want to write.
