So, I received a bill, due tomorrow, from MCLA for $737. And I just paid rent. I think after this, I will have $30 or less to my name until Jan. 10. I guess that's do able, but it does suck. Also, MCLA used the loan I thought I would use for the rest of the semster's rent for my tuition, so now I have to come up with rent for the next five months. Normally, my dad pays the tuituion and I pay housing, but he never saw the bill because my mom got it, and didn't give it to him. I wanna ask him to pay at least the $737 but we're not on the best of terms. This I also partly blame on my mother.
I stayed an entire two days with at my parents' homes until my family had driven me to go back to North Adams. All of them except my dad were assholes and I just couldn't stand to be with them when I knew I had a lovely apartment and a boyfriend I could spend my time with. There's the issue. As I'm approaching the bus station, my mother calls my dad and blurts out to him that marley moved in with me, which I was waiting for the right time to tell him about. I guess I should have done so sooner, but it never seemed to be the right time. Of course, my father being the devout Catholic that he was upset to hear that his first born daughter is living in sin. And she also told him about another situation regarding marley that is also not too great. So now, my dad wants to come visit me and have a discussion about my "poor life choices." He's upset that I decided not to go to Japan, he's upset that I'm living with my boyfriend, and I think he's upset that marley is my boyfriend.
I guess from an outside perspective I might worry about me too. I would tell a friend to never give up an opportunity just for a boy, but I really think he and I are going to have a future together. And maybe he and I did rush things a bit by moving in together just after three months. But I love him, and we're happy. I'm happier than I have been in a long time, and I don't think I would be if I was making poor life decisions. I wish I could convince my parents of that. I know my situation isn't perfect, and I don't expect it to be. marley and I have stupid little fights, and he gets annoyed at my messiness and I get annoyed at his assholeness, but I can't imagine living in my apartment without him now.
I just hope things work themselves out. I have a crazy semester up ahead, a lot of classes, an internship, and a part-time job. It stresses me out just thinking about it, but at least when it's over, it's over and I will get my two degreees. And hopefully a decent job thereafter. or winning the lottery.
Sorry to everyone I didn't see this break, which was pretty much everyone, I was hoping to stay in the Springfield area and visit lots of people, but it didn't work out that way.
But everyone is welcome to visit!
