on being back in richmond
being back is pretty much being back.
I've been really busy with work and senior disorientation and getting people from the airport. I haven't been really busy with my project, which is silly, since it's due, techincally tomorrow, but really, sometime soon. eep eep.
all this senior disorientation stuff is a little scary. did you know that if you want to buy a house you have to save something like twenty thousand dollars for the down payment AND you have to have established yourself as having good credit...I have to start saving now. and also get a credit card to start making credit. I've always sort of just lived with the mentality that no credit is better than bad credit, and I still feel that way, but I think that I need to learn to be responsible and deal with money someday. might as well start soon.
that whole conversation left me feeling awfully alone in the world, it would be so much less scary to be going out into the world and making a budget and getting a job and growing up if I felt like I was doing it WITH somebody. but...I'm not. really. I have plenty of people in my life, who I love and who I would love to be around for the rest of forever, but, lets be honest, we cant all go to the same places and we cant all live together forever...so. I'll just be ME. AAH! I wish I wasnt quite so codependent. I suppose that should also be a goal for this year, be less codependent.
I bought books today, which was depressing because the bookstore didnt seem to get any used copies this year. ugh. it was so damn expensive. and I am still missing a couple, but I'm excited. 12 out of 19 books are fiction, and so will be fun to read (I hope). every semester when I look at all the books, I wonder how I will ever really READ them all. this semester is no exception. it's a real pile.
I am still waiting to see some folks, and have been thoroughly enjoying my time with the people who ARE here. I am NOT excited that all the other RAs in my building decided not to come back on time, so I have to be on duty everynight until they get here, and tonight that means sitting in the deep dark dank basement storage room. poo on them.
anyways, here's to the last semester, lets make it a good one!
