I might just go public

Christ, I have a job interview on Tuesday at 11am and I have until then to straighten out my hours. Now I can get off my fat lazy ass and ring people up and pretend to know how to add. I might actually save up enough for a semester at college. I still need to get my last Starbucks paycheck but I do not know how but it has about 300 dollars on it. I am just excited because Loren works there and that's more of a social life than I have right now. I don't pay rent or anything so basically that's pocket money. This on top of the Holy Name thing! I am so excited and I think I'm going to paint something fucking huge and complicated tonight to celebrate.

I also wonder when hotmail is going to decide to work. The one time I actually want to use email and it's down for four days. Should I bother going to bed tonight and just wait until tomorrow night and really get the hours straight. I might just go in with my mom today to have something to do. Maybe I'll go to the pool? I think I'll bring my sketchbook and

holy shit Jason Boyd. Papa's Dojo was suprisingly good, though I might be the only one to think so.

My life is going somewhere and a year ago I really didn't expect it to. That really says something about waiting it out. I felt like coming back here was a step back, but once I weighed the pros and cons I realized how much I gained from the move. I would not be willing to spend my day at work, but it's something I am now accustomed to. I am ten times more organized. I have a new respect for responsibility and managing finances. I know when to have fun, and when to get serious and actually go to bed at a reasonable hour. I didn't even do that in high school. Now that I'm home I am saving money, but I have come back with all of this experience and I was even well-adjusted to a new atmosphere and I didn't totally shut down without guidance. Came close, but towards the end I realized that I was doing it even though I didn't know it. I am saving up for college, relaxing this semester, and I will be around for Nadia's baby's birth. In fact, I will call her tomorrow and tell her I want to be there for it. I want her to know that she has support in her family.

The only think that is irking me a little right now is everyone talking about school tomorrow. This is a completely new phenomenon for me, as I have gone to school the same day as everyone my age for over thirteen years. They might very well graduate with a degree before me, but I think with an art degree it doesn't even matter when you fucking get it. I'm even considering minoring in education even though I hate teaching, but I'm more into teaching smaller children because they are so into creativity and don't have so much prejudice at that age, plus I get to see early on who will be great in the future. Sare even brought that up with me and I didn't even think it was a bad idea, and I used to really oppose it. I might not even need to go to New York for school, but somewhere in Boston, or even Rhode Island is sounding appealing. I'm open to more ideas, and if Kayleigh and I go to the same school we can even live together and we've done that every summer until this year so I know that isn't as tough. Hell, if I am in Boston her family might even let me live with them like they said. That's cutting living expenses down so much.

Seriously, if you go back a year from now, I was complaining so much about EVERYTHING. I don't know if I could be any happier than this.

Good luck, Becca. You're so talented.
