I don't know what has come over me, but I'm really happy to be home.
I wasn't even going to come home any time soon. My parents and brother and his new gf and I all went out to lunch this afternoon, my parents drove down to Hamden. My mom noticed one of my tires looked low (which I noticed weeks ago but it just never went flat so I figured I was paranoid). We brought it to a Midas on Whitney Ave and there was barely any air left in it so my Dad thinks I ran over a nail or something and it's slowly been leaking.
Anyways, I planned on coming home tomorrow to have it fixed and get an oil change at our town mechanic, but when my parents pulled away I just got this weird urge to pack up and head home for...an indefinite amount of time. So I did just that and they were very pleasantly surprised.
So I think I'm just gonna stay here a bit. I am pretty sure I was the last one left in Hamden, and I was kind of lonely in my apartment last night. I'm naturally good at being a hermit, but it was becoming a little too much.
So I'll stay here for a bit. Get my car fixed, do some job hunting (for jobs either up here, or down there). I have several applications in at random places down in Hamden and New Haven, so I'll probably stay here until I get any calls to come in for interviews (fingers crossed). See what I can find up here, maybe I'll find a job up in NF.
But it feels good to just sit and be and decompress. My mind has been spinning for several weeks, and I'm glad everything is over and I can just....relax. And lots of snuggles from Cooper makes everything better too.
I'm relieved this semester is over. It was draining. I ended up with good grades, minus Bio. But that was expected.
US Masculinity's: A
Video Production: A-
Irish History: B
Government & Business: B+
Bio: D
I'm just glad I passed Bio though, if I had to retake it...oy.
I can't believe Christmas is 11 days away. Yesterday I was sitting in the car thinking "okay, semester is over, and just a few weeks left until Christmas" and then I hear on the radio how there's only 12 days until the day! Jesus....I really lost track of time. I hope I can find a job. If not, my Christmas money will be getting spent on textbooks for next semester, and because of family situations this year, I'll probably get enough to cover my textbooks and maybe $50 left over. It will be a slightly sad Christmas, but whatever, I'm so grateful for so many other things in my life right now, I know it could be far worse off than just the fact that I won't be getting any real presents (because I'm asking for money) and this money might just be going towards textbooks.
It could be far worse. My parents both still have jobs, our heads are above water, and we're doing okay. Whateva, I'd probably just have bought useless junk I didn't really need anyways.
