time out to catch up...
its been a little over 3 months since i moved from Tracy to Pleasant Hill for a new job here in Concord...its interesting. the first time ive left Tracy permanently since I moved there with my family when I was 4...I dont feel homesick, but I am still getting acclimated to alot of things still. I dont have the circle of friends here that I had living in Tracy for all those years, and I do feel it. I know I cant expect to feel as I did in Tracy immediately, but it would be nice to feel just a little bit more like this was home to me. I moved here into a 1 bedroom apartment with a roommate with the intention of moving into a 2 bedroom apartment shortly after getting here with him, but bills came up and prevented us from doing so. As a result, I have been sleeping on a futon nestled into a corner of a living room next to a table with my tv and pstwo...this is my room...it has definitely humbled me in some ways. after being here for a bit, I feel like I would be able to better manage things by myself. I found a place in Concord about 3-4 blocks from work in a group of streets filled with apartments...its not the most amazing place, but it will fulfill the purpose needed in this case, and the price is right too :). I put in an application today for the place and should hear back something by this thursday...crossing my fingers every second. i will be working overtime at every opportunity given to ensure I have the cash that I need for the 1st months rent and the deposit along with my last months rent at the place im living in right now and all the bills I pay on a regular basis. Tonight is the last night that I will be going out for in a while too probably...which is probably for the best anyway. I dont want to abuse my youth and end up being all tore back before my prime...but isnt this my prime technically anyway? there is too much to consider when you consider everything.
