So its been crazy. I hate making decisions about my life but if I dont do it who will? So Im back at NAU taking some higher up classes for an accounting degree. Yes some think its boring but I think its fun. Especially now that computers basically do all the work so you dont make mistakes! Because I know that in my accounting classes I make the stupidest mistakes and wish there was a way to check it before you have gone through the whole question that took you 1 hour to do! Ahh...frustration!
So Nate and I have decided that it costs too much to live in Flagstaff, in fact...too exspensive to live in the US! Costa Rica has been on our minds. Its just an idea for right now, but plans are being made, information is being sought after. I mean where else could you find a place that is like this:
3bed/2.5bath
kitchen fully stock (includes even a rice maker)
living room
fully furnished (and they are hella nice!)
all utilities paid
cable paid
internet paid
daily maid service (will even clean your dishes!)
fresh towels daily
basic nessecities like shampoo, conitioner, toilet paper
security guards
upstairs bedroom has a balcony facing the mountains
IN COSTA RICA
all that for the low low cost of......$800 a month! (its kinda like a long term hotel, but they are villas)
Ok I am not anti USA by any means, but Im tired of hearing about all the freedom we have here and how much oppurtunity is here. Maybe if I grew up in Cuba or Mexica I would see it but I dont. What I see is the majority of our citzens trying their best to make as much money as possible and spen d it all on themselves and not care about those who have special needs. I know I am that way. I spend money on a nice car, nice apartment, random exotic birds, nice computer, the list could go on. Im a hypocrat for saying it but Im tired of it. Im tired of being told that we have to pay $570 /month for healthcare and then get a letter from them saying that most everything is NOT covered because it is PRE-EXSISTING!!! Costa Rica has free healthcare...kinda like Canada. Even if at the beginning we cant get it for free, its a lot cheaper than up here. Who knows after saying all this Nate and I may stay here after all but at least I have made my piece with it.
So Nate and I both quit our jobs, full time students living off money we dont really have, but thats ok. We got rid of our puppies because its not fair to them to live in this apartment. We still have our birds though. Nate takes Sarge on daily "flights" outside. He will fly pretty far and just stop and squack till we come and get him. Its the most hilarious thing!
I miss all my friends down in Mesa, I havent seemed to get connected up here, or the friends I did have moved. I need to get invovled in something maybe? Well I am off to Vegas for my 21st birthday next weekend. We are going to see Blueman group (thats my b0day present from Nate) I guess we are in the "Poncho" seats whatever that means *shurgs* Cant wait to legally drink and maybe gamble a few bucks just for fun...I know I wont win...Im dont have good luck like that.
Awfully long post hope you enjoyed it!
