Our lease runs out in about 2 months. Josh is getting a place with Heather and Jesse is buying a place with his sister. This left Anthony, Andrew and me with the decision of what to do next.
I thought about it a lot and decided to move back home. So far I am registered for 2 classes in the fall at COD. At this rate it would take me about a year or year and a half to finish. If I move back home I can cut my hours to part-time and take about 5 classes. I would be done in about a semester and a half... Id also get an opportunity to save money which hasnt really been an option since I "moved out." There are other perks for moving back in too. Free golf, seeing my niece/nephew/sister more, free food, better internet, etc.
It was a pretty hard decision given the events in the past few years. Ive made an effort to talk to my dad and get all that stuff off my chest. I wrote my mom a really long email. I was extremely honest about why I feel so distant. My dad said that it really got to her because she knew that all of the things that I said were true, and that she hadnt thought about them before. Consequently, I feel like I have come to terms with those issues.
I kind of feel like Im too old to be living at home (although most of my friends still are,) but I am definitely willing to bite the bullet because I want to finish COD and move on to a university. FedEx is great because I can basically transfer anywhere in the country. Im not sure what college I want to go to, but Im sure that this step is going to be worth it. I dont belong working some random job. I want to do something that Im interested and skilled in. I have spent a lot of time and effort developing so many skills. I want to use them!
Anyway, I hope to finish up COD and then move out of the parents' immediately. Fingers crossed for Columbia or something like that. Ill have to see how much of the tuition would be covered by my grant money...
When I talked to Andrew he said that he would probably also move back home until about January when Mike's cousin Jamie wants to get an appartment with him. Anthony is going to get his own place. I am not sure that he can pull it off, but he was really confident so I didnt pester him. Hopefully he knows that he has a lot of people who would be there for him if he would just reach out for once in his life... I hope he can make it work. Ill be there for him one way or the other.
This whole situation brings up another issue. Where are we going to hang out?! I heard Jeff's place is not going to be somewhere to hang out a bunch. I can understand that since its just his and Ash's place. They work in the morning too. It just wouldnt work out. I guess the same thing kind of applies to Josh/Heather. I dont think Heather would appreciate us over there a lot. I dont think that is what she has in mind with her new place. So then there is Jesse's place with his sister. I dont know about that either. Jesse works in the morning, and I have no idea what his sister is up to. What time does the secretary of the secretary of state have to wake up?
My guess is that 2011 is going to be a more mild year for our group and its all my fault lolol. Actually is all of your guys' fault for not wanting to move in with us :/ I guess we will just have to go out more. That wouldnt be so bad :) Especially if I have some fat bank reserves.
