I've moved back home with my mom and sister. We got my bedroom set up all nice this weekend. It's really cute, mostly gray and black. I was afraid it was going to turn out a little macabre/angtsy pre-teen, but everything came together splendidly. I'm sort of glad to be out of the apartment. Aside from being an unkempt shithole, it was really lonely being there by myself. I had such a hard time being so close to the campus and feeling like I was living somewhere I didn't belong. I remember getting really drunk at a party at the end of the semester and telling Tony that I felt like there was nothing left for me in Elmhurst. I haven't felt any real emotional ties to that place in months, so moving leaving has been pretty painless. Well, emotionally painless. I hurt my back painting and then again lifting a vaccuum cleaner up two flights of stairs. I think things will work out for me here.
I start school on Wednesday and I could not be more excited. I've been so bored and my mind has felt so underused. I need to learn! Granted, I'm going to community college and taking gen ed courses, but it's still better than nothing. At this point, I don't even care that COD is a social nighmare (I have a double major in eye rolling and eating alone with a minor in dressing weather-appropriate), but I'm too excited aout being busy to even care. I'm considering auditioning for a Fall Season show, but I'm thinking I may wait until spring semester. I need to get used to everything.
Things with Tony might be rocky. This is not an appropriate place to talk about it, so I'll just say that there are issues that I hope we can work through.
Life seems to be in an upheaval. So far, it has the makings of being a positive step forward. Fingers crossed.
