Now that I'm alone and hating every second of it, I have buckled down on this silly library school application. It's a bit of a bore and a pain to write 500 words on why you want to do something in such a way that you will stand out from the group of applicants in a positive way. All those "key words" are staring at me from their placement in the sentenses crying out how trite it is to have used them at all. Argh!
I've also been using this as a time to sort and reduce the load of stuff in my house even more. I may have found some people to have a garage sale with in Norman, which would be excellent. I need to get rid of some more things, and gas money to drive to Chicago would be also excellent.
As current ticket prices stand, it will cost me less to drive to Chicago the first week of Sept than it will to fly. The trip being reduced to two hours and that giving me more time actually in Chicago does make it tempting. However I need to get some stuff up there as well. Driving a Uhaul with my car on the back is something I would rather like to avoid. It didn't look fun while Peaches was doing it and it didn't sound fun when he talked about it. While my car is a super awesome multi dimensional machine with lots of room inside, I am beinging to think that I can't fit all of my things into it. The pile of boxes currently in the living room alone wouldn't fit, let alone my room, and the garage... Maybe that whole garage sale thing will help that situation.
So far the worst thing about him being gone is coming home from work to an empty house.
