i hate mokena
So some people say that writing down, and/or typing i guess, your trouble makes you feel better about them. well i generally do not use this live journal account, but i pretty much seem to have been reduced to this. so i guess ill give it a shot.
to start, as much as i didnt want to leave jen or my friends in peoria, i REALLY did want to get away from bradley for a bit. and besides the the winter break i was about to embark upon seemed to look like a very productive/prosperous one. i mean i had a job lined up for me that would have made me nearly 2 grand in the span of 1 month (not too shabby) and besides i would be getting xmas money as well. all in all my financial situation, for the first time since i left for college, was going to have a positive outlook upon it. i also planned on taking up a jterm class at jjc to try to get back on track. needless to say, i was very much looking forward to this break. fast forward to me walking in the door at "home." this is where everything i had hoped for began to go astray. as much as both of them aurgue against me, i put my trust in my parents to get me the job. you may say "well you are an adult now, why didnt you get yourself a job?" and if this is what you are saying then you are a misinformed bastard, and i dont care how good of friends we are, fuck you. my job is a unique one, i work for the company my father is employed at. they typically do not hire employees for a months time like best buy. therefore simply calling them up and asking for the job would have merely got my laughed at. however, due to my dads high standing within the company, he AND HE ALONE was the only one that could arrange for me to get this position. this is the part where i show you ignorant individuals that i DID do all that i could. nearly 3 months ago i asked my father to get me the job, to which he told me "dont worry, ill take care of it." well flash back to my glorious entrance to my former home. my mother and father break the news to me that they have not arranged the job yet and that they will DO WHAT THEY CAN to get it for me. they then proceed to tell me that I should have called up the company and arranged the job months ago. this was the start of my misfortunes during break. shortly after this news i was told by my mother to "put my keys in my car" i asked why and was told that our mechanic was putting new tires on my car. i, of course, had no problem with this. that was until my mother told me that this was my xmas gift. id have to say that the main reason that this upset me was that my mom had recently called me and asked what I wanted for christmas. let me tell you i did not respond by saying "new tires for my car." so at this point i was derived of the 2 very things that i was looking forward to by coming home. to add to this the few presents i actually did get were the EXACT OPPOSITE of what i actually wanted. i hardly got enough money from this xmas to buy an ipod (what i really wanted) and thus am not going to purchase one, bc i want money when i go back to school. also upon checking my checking account i discovered that its negative 2 dollars which means i have to pay a fee thus taking away some of the small sum of money i actually recieved this break.
i called my boss from my bradley job requesting to work, since i dont have work here. so upon finding out it they have work i will be going back to bradley next week. all and all this break helped me to realize that the town of mokena is no longer my home town and that my house there is no longer my home. (my parents took my room away, gave it to my brother and moved me up to share with my youngest brother also btw)
right now i am very much looking forward to going back to bradley (wow thats weird to say) and i hope that this small hope will not be crushed like that one about coming to mokena was.
