As the subject says, I officially have 11 days until my future truly starts. In 7 days I will have finished all my final exams for my final year of undergrad. Work during May is going to be craaaaaaazy, but good paychecks. June and July won't be busy unless I get one of the campus jobs. We'll see.
The plans as of right now are to finish exams and then start packing up everything that I can in the apartment. I want to be moved out by the 2nd-3rd weekend of May. Once things are moved I will have no work, family or apartment stressors while I spend my last few, precious days with Sean before deployment. It feels like there is still so much more to be done before he leaves. We were, however, successful at narrowing down potential places to call 'home' in the area. I showed the places to my parents and even they agreed all the places were good. The next step is to tour, agree, apply, and be approved. Mom's agreed to help me look for furniture here and in Norfolk. Dad's suffering in silence as his little girl is growing up, going to school, moving away and sharing her heart with another man that isn't him. I just pray this decision is the right one...
Things with the family is a little hectic right now. Dad's surviving carpal tunnel injections in his wrists. So far his dominant hand is 100% better but the lesser hand is 50% better. Mom's MRIs keep coming back inconclusive, so at this point surgery is a definite. We don't know exactly how advanced this cancer is, but it's really stressing us out. Luckily, for the first time in almost 2 years I haven't been sick lately (maybe it was my body telling me to slow down and take care of it). Haven't heard from my brother in quite awhile, but I hope he's doing alright.
Looking for anybody out there that can give me words of advice or to chat with while my boyfriend is deployed. I've made some arrangements but I know that during the slower months I'm going to miss him like crazy. Once I move to the other side of the state, I won't have any friends and barely any family. I'll know of his parents and grandmother in the area.. and then my family whom I haven't seen in quite awhile. Needless to say I think August-November will be the hardest for me if I don't get into ODU.
