whoa .....
All I can say is I'm truly very thankful and verrrrrrry blessed !
It almost kind of scares me because something I have really wanted and have
been hoping for awhile is actually about to work out !
I never really complained to my parents about commuting to CSUF . its not something i wanted them to have to worry about .
AFter all , it's really only a 20-25 minute drive that eventually
turns into more with traffic . But parking sucks . Being followed to
the car , or having to offer to take people to their cars just to get
their parking spot . It wasnt fun . hahaha . It's manageable , and something I , along with the other 30 thousand students dealt with , but
I wasn't sure if i could imagine myself doing that for the next 4
years or so of my college career . Because I know parking will only
get worse because more and more students are being accepted !
Dorming didnt work out .... which is NOW .. possibly something that
turned out for the better .
I had this 2 1/2 hour conversation with my parents last week about moving out into an apartment across the street with friends . It was something I have talked to them about before .... but this time ... i honestly was VERY prepared for the conversation , i pretty much had every question they
could possible ask COVERED .... because i wanted to provide them with all the benefits of being able to move in, and not give them the opportunity to find a NEGATIVE reason for me not to move out .
The only one bad thing that i KNEW they would think was bad was because I said i would be working MORE hours to pay off rent , they were worried that i would not focus so much on school . But i told them i would still try just as hard .
But to cut this already medium long blog into a shorter one .... my parents said ......
YES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
they checked out the place on Saturday along with the whole family and met my future roomies .... rachel and mae ! and to my surprise they said YES almost right away ? They asked a few basic questions and made up their mind , i thought they would give me a more difficult time . but no .... !
if you all already dont know , we have a very close knit family . and for the past week , my mom and dad have both been so emotional about the move !
im not gonna lie ! i kinda have become too .......... !
especially for Nikko . I told himi the only thing that would make me
stay is if HE told me not to move out . He's my younger brother ! what can i say ! As much as we fight .... i freekin live for that little kid .. whos freeekin gonna be a senior in high school ! i dont want him to feel alone and have to deal with the things we dealt with together . especially this past year uggh . when melissa moved out , it was sad and took me awhile to get used to , but at least i wasnt alone and had nikko , now since melissa and i BOTH wont be living at home for most of the time .... he will be by himself ! dang . im starting to get emotional .
aaah . but anyways . im excited ! i CANT lie ! just the whole feeling and experience of being out of the house . its crazy . !
I'm so thankful that everything worked out well with work too and more hours .
I have roomies !!!!!! yayyyyy ! and now after class i have a place to just WALK home to and sleep / study and eat .... without having to worry about how big the gaps are within my classes . =)
my parents said i have to be EVEN more responsible .... but honestly .
i already feel like i have . haha . it all kinda scares me in a way .... cuz
i feel all grown up ! hahah . kinda corny , but its a pretty big deal to me .
ok . enough . this is getting so long . i just woke up from my 3 hour nap because a whole bunch of my friends called me laughing at my vcmail and eating cake for Lyns bday ! hahaha . i luv those kids !
aaah . ok ....
thanks for reading this if you have ? hahahah . im just venting out . feeling happy and all .
still praying and hoping that everything continues to work out .
=)
sincerely ,
me
