crazy, im thinking, just knowing that the world is round
update time! seeing as there hasnt been one in months, i figure its time.
so, im back in new york. im working at sarabeths (where miranda works as well) as a bartender. its such a fantastic place... great people, great food. small bar, but ill learn to deal. also, i just got a call back from the metropolitan cafe where i used to work, and theyd like me to come back and do some day shifts at the bar. yay! i like having a full schedule. money is awesome.
i am ridiculously poor. i looooooooooove barely being able to afford one meal a day. its fantastic. ive spent all the money i have on clothes and shoes for work. which was necessary, but so pricey. the cashier at h&m (best store in the world. i missed it so much!) ran my bill as credit on my debit card instead of splitting the transaction into half cash, half debit like i asked. so it all went through, and because shes a moron and didnt listen to me, my account was overdrafted by $25, for which the bank charged me $30. negative bank accounts. score. it shouldnt be shitty for long though. ill be done with my training at sarabeths on wednesday, then ill actually start going home with some money. not to mention the shifts i can pick up at the metro. i just really wish i could have like, an advancement on my tips... too bad thats not feasible.
we move to the apartment in astoria on wednesday... but i work at 730am, so its gonna be a long ass day. ive been sharing kims bed at my old apartment in spa ha, because there are 6 people staying in a 4 bedroom place. its cramped and irritating, but its only for a few more days i suppose.
i really miss ben. just to play catch up, by the way, he graduated from college in may, but hes upgrading to an honors degree, so he has to stay in halifax for another semester while he takes a few more classes and works on a thesis project. the plan is for him to move to new york in december or january. hes looking into grad school at columbia and nyu. as much as i didnt want to, i had to leave canada. ive already been paying off my student loans for 3 months, and since its not legal for me to work in canada, i watched my monthly payments slowly (or quickly, rather) drain my bank account. not to mention, without a visa, i wasnt legally allowed to stay more than 6 months. so, its not easy, but its for the best. i can work my ass off so i can get back to school sooner, and he can work his ass off so his grad school applications look better. theyre both really important. i miss him so ridiculously much. its especially hard because we were never apart. he works, but he does it from home over the computer, working on software development for his prfoessors research projects. its so hard to go from being together 25/8 to something like once every month or two. we should see each other in early september, because we have a wedding to go to in south carolina. our one year is coming up on august 11th. its gonna be really hard to get through that alone. sigh.
well, i think thats pretty much everything.
so when are you guys comin to visit, eh?
