Tomorrow starts another week at work... only this one is a three-day week, since I am planning to come to Quincy on Thursday and stay until Sunday. For sure. :) I hope to see everyone soon.
Decatur kinda stresses me out a bit. The people are odd for the most part. Haha... I went to Sears' auto area on Saturday to get my tire noise checked out and fixed, and I had odd relations with two of the staff. There was the initial old man who took down my information all while staring *directly* at my chest the entire time. (This was the same one from when I bought all new tires last year.) I kept looking right in the dude's eyes and would catch him looking down then looking up when he saw me looking at him. Nasty! Aaaand then there was the odd cashier... who, upon entering my phone number in their records, commented on my address on Marietta Street and, later, after I'd paid my bill for repairs, told me about their family and friends night the following evening (and how he could get me 10% off any car repairs) and how, when I was leaving, he said "See you soon!" Gah! :) It's almost laughable... well, Andrew thought it was funny anyway, haha.
Well, on about Decatur... I know I don't want to live here for long. School was OK, since it was more interaction with students rather than D-town residents. Not that it's only the odd folks... though I love Andrew to death, and love living with him, I hate being away from my friends.
I have asked Andrew about living in Quincy in the future, and he does seem willing, despite the total of his family living in the Decatur area. That plan is surely in the cards for sometime in the future... however, at this point in time, we both have well-paying jobs and have debts to pay, so D-town is about the best situation at this time for the two of us. (On another note, I have just totally paid off my car, and am quite proud of that!)
Once I hear about my application to QU's M.S. Ed program, I'm hoping to take those classes (two a semester) while working full-time at HomeSight. I am so very excited at teaching someday... the more I work and deal with snotty, childish realtors, the more I want to work with people in a field that makes more of a difference than appeasing the wants of a poorly educated species. (Haha, I have developed such hatred for realtors in general working at HomeSight... not all, but many.)
I don't really know what this whole post is about... but I do know that I don't want to remain in Decatur forever, and that I miss my friends totally and love Andrew totally. Jeez. :)
I'm off to watch more TV before bed time. I can't wait to be home on Thursday. (After my two appointments... one for a haircut, and one to get mah teef looked at.)
I love and miss you all.
