the borderline is in your mind
home at my parent's house for the night.
i needed a little time to center myself and remove myself from the stressful work/school environment. until tomorrow, anyway. i found my old CDs from high school. i listened to some good shit.
things have been better. i'm still barely making ends meet, but that's college. i'm taking out a loan, which i haven't done yet. except for my car, but i make monthly payments on that now. i'm trying to keep my post-graduate debt to a minimum, but it's a difficult feat. oh well. we're all in debt, right? hah.
school has been a bitch. now that my second semester at uga is coming to a close, i can safely say that this has been the hardest school year of my life. i've taken some very challenging classes. and that, combined with the new environment and a school 15x the size of gcsu, has made for a rough academic year. but i'm playing in the big leagues now, and i have to say i'm proud of myself. and i'm super proud of casey--who is now also a student at uga :)
my new job has been much less stressful, but not nearly as well-paying. i literally make just enough to pay the bills, with nothing to negative left over. buuut, since i'm not taking any classes over the summer, i'm going to find a good-paying full time gig. probably another waiting job, though i kind of shudder at the thought. but anything is better than the roach trap i labored at before.
i've gotten a couple more little things published. one for a progressive magazine on campus, one for a local online magazine, and my article on the whigs will be in the next issue of ugazine. i'm going to continue building up my portfolio as much as possible.
i'm starting to really call athens home. or something like that.
things with dustin are still unbelievable. it will be a year next month. i really didn't know this kind of thing actually existed. but after almost a year together, i'm still always so excited to see him. and sometimes i wake up and find that he's smiling at me. it's unexplainable.
it's almost summer again. time is going by crazy fast. does that scare anyone else as much as it's scaring me?
