I've been staying with my grandmother in the town of Acton these past few weeks, am with my family to acknowledge my mom's birthday right now, going back to my grandmother's house Sunday afternoon until September. She doesn't have the internet, but I spend a lot of time at the Acton library and from time to time I'll bring my computer there to catch up on internet-land.
In September I'll probably be back at my parents' house (I'm not sure where to call home) while I re-take a couple UMass Boston classes that I failed last spring, get those hideous F's off my transcript. Should be easy enough, provided I don't have another nervous breakdown in the middle of finals. After that I'll either a)move to North Carolina to finish school b)live with my grandmother and finish school at UMass Lowell or c)work up the money to travel. I've been offered a job as a 911 operator at Acton Police Station, with paid training and really good money for the work. Enough money to say "fuck it" and settle down. But I'm not ready settle for anything quite yet, though it would be valuable job experience and a good amount of money to save for future adventures. But, Jess, all you ever do is bitch about how you want to get a stable job and settle down! Well I've been thinking and reflecting about myself and about life in general a lot, and I want to live. There's lots I want to see and do and accomplish, stuff it would be a mistake to pass up for the sake of security. Security doesn't equal happiness, doesn't make a life.
So tonight and tomorrow I'll be around, and a few times a week after that for a while. Now to read friends' pages and get a-commenting.
