Everything's Finally Falling Together...
Hey guys. Figured it's been a little while and I finally have a day off so here I am. Things are going pretty great for me. I honestly haven't been this happy in a long time. I'm sure you'll see why.
First thing's first. We finally closed on the house and it's officially ours! My friend and I should be moving in within two weeks. We're in the process of cleaning everything up right now. The house is a little dirty, but that's to be expected since there were threee guys living there before us. Nothin to mad, mostly dirt devils and a little grime. SHouldn't take too long. I'm getting my rugs put in next week and then my furniture will be coming in. I bought this GORGEOUS $3,000 friggin bedroom set. It's all polished black and extremely well crafted. HAHA When I went in there, I asked the guy what the best bed is for tying a girl up to. YOu should have seen his face! I've bought about $2,000 worth of decorations and what not. Candles, clocks, mirrors, pictures, etc. My room is going to be so awesome! Everything is polished black and silver with grey highlights. I think it will make whatever color I actually put in their (i.e. candles, pictures, etc.) really stick out. I'll post pics once everything is settled in.
Secondly, everything is going great for school. I have my class schedule. I'm taking English 101, Intro to Psych, Intro to Sociology, Arabic 101, and Astronomy for my first semester. I have so many courses I'm going to have to take for my majors! I actually only end up with one free elective! haha I did the math for how much school's going to cost. BLAH! It's going to be $2,400 A MONTH for ten months! I should be pretty good though. I think with all my benefits I'll come out on top. The National Guard is giving my $250 per credit hour, so that's about $3,750. Then I have that $20,000 dollar scholarship so I get $2,500 per semester. On top of that I get almost $1,900 a month from my Montgomery G.I. Bill because I have the Army College Fund Kicker with it. PLUS, I haven't even figured out how much State Aid I will get because they messed my paperwork up the first time. All I know is that I should be golden becaue I'll be a 22 year old, independent, working part-time and I made ZERO net taxable income last year! I'll probably end up with about half of my school paid for just like that! Yeah, I'm extremely happy.
Thirdly, women are sucking. I just got out of the greatest relationship I have had in a long time. I don't want to get too much into it because it's the most ridiculous story on her part. All I will say is that she broke up with me becasue I treated her too good. She wasn't used to it and it made her feel uncomfortable. WHO SAYS THAT!?!? I thought she was bullshitting, but I talked to all her friends and we share a mutual best friend, and that's what everyone told me. She's just so used to getting stepped on that, to actually be treated good, hurt her. Whatever though. I guess it's her loss. IT just pisses me off because while we were together we were both the happiest that ANYONE has ever seen either one of us. Everyone was always saying how great it was to see us so happy and how we were always smiling for no reason other than knowing we had eachother. And all of that for nothign...that upsets me.
ANYWHO...I missed a lay off at my job. I WAS THE NEXT IN LINE! It's OK though, as it's only a temporary lay off and everyone will be back within a week or two. I really can't afford to get laid off yet. It's bad enough I can only work until the 16th of August. My other job is alright. Actually, it isn't. I hate it. Bed, Bath and Beyond is the worst store in the world. I've been there for two months and they STILL haven't trained me in anything I need to know. Everything I DO know, I taught myself and found out through my mistakes. Seriously now, I know I can only work Saturdays and Sundays for now, but you can take an hour per shift to teach me something, right? I can't wait to quit that job. Once I have everything I need for the house I'm gone. LOL Plus, my friend works there so she can keep getting me stuff if I need it.
You know what I just noticed? I don't swear in my posts as much. HAHA Remember my War posts and everything was "F-this and F-that"? I really don't have anything to swear about anymore. IT'S SUCH A WONDERFUL FEELING!!!!
Speaking of the Army. I really miss it. It's not so much the Army that I miss, it's the people. The relationships you build in the Army are unlike any other relationship you can imagine. I seriously believe I'm closer with some of the guys down there than I have been or ever will be with my parents or friends up here. You just go through so much together and spend so much time together. It's unreal.
Alright, that should suffice in letting you guys know what's been up. Again, I'm sorry I don't get on as much. Once I get laid off from my one job in August I'll have a lot more time. Just know I haven't forgotten you guys. You all hold a really special place in my heart even though I haven't met most of you. You guys just kept me going while I was over there and going through the hardcest time's in my life. We've gone through a lot together, and I hope I can be there for you guys in the future. Take care all.
