So, besides the world falling apart socially (collage campuses getting shot up by losers), economically (the job market sucks and the real estate market isn't far behind), ecologically (Mother Nature unleashing her wrath because we've abused Her for too long), and what have you, my life is slightly fantastic.
Although Jackson and I have rough patches, I couldn't be more happy. He's just as crazy goofy as me, and I never thought I'd find a guy I could 100% be my self around without fear of ridicule. Wow. That, and he loves my body just the way I am, so it's a shot to the self-esteem every time I'm around him, and I know that's really horrible that I need that, but whatever. He's so different from who I am as far as habits and lifestyle go, but that's ok. It's nothing I wouldn't have gotten into when I went away to Bard, so it's all good. I'd rather find my limits with people I know and trust, than do it with complete strangers who may or may not take advantage of me. I loves him to itty bitty bits.
And speaking of Bard, I couldn't be more excited to go. They met my needs as far as monies go, and I personally will only end up footing $3500 a year. So, if I work my ass of during the Summer, I should be able to break even every year assuming I save like the good girl I am. And the campus is amazingly beautiful. It's right on the Hudson River smack dab in the middle of the Catskills, so the vistas are stunning. The arcitechture is so eclectic (modern, classic roman stuff, seventies buildings, cottages, and the like), but it all seems to fit. Lol, and the dorms for the freshmen look like toaster ovens, but it's all good. AND there is a Music Conservatory so there are plenty of wonderful FREE concerts to go to, AND a music garage so one can mosh to the local punk bands every night of the week. Oh, and there is the fact that their isn't an alcohol policy in existence, so Megan can totally booze up whenever the desire/need strikes her... not to say that I will of course. The bottom line is that Bard is the place I can become the person I always wanted to be, and I couldn't be more excited.
I've also recently acquired a job to help pay for said college, which is a good thing. I'm working at Bed, Bath, & Beyond (again), so if anyone needs college stuff, yet me know and I can hook you up. But anyway, I should have enough saved to pay for my deposit and prom dress before I'll start practicing to be a poor student (again), but such is my life always.
And speaking of Prom, holy shit, it's coming up soon. I realize I will have to bite the bullet soon and buy a dress, but it cannot be helped. It's just hard to bring myself to spend so much money on something I probably will only wear once! Gah, it's a tradition though, and there's a great possibility I will regret later not going so I'll go. I'm just excited for everything that comes after the prom. YAY!
Anyway, peace out cub scouts!
