Today is going much better than yesterday. I am finally home......;;deep intake;;
I missed it so much, but returning home has been so much of a change. Up in Maine I had no worries except going to work and planning what time to watch Sailor Moon. Back here, as soon as I got home, I had a pile of things just waiting for me to do. I want to soak up the sun and have fun with friends and family before I leave, but how am I supposed to do that when I have all this shit? I have a pile of mail from Amherst, I have to set up my computer and figure out how to use it in time before I use it(haven't used a Mac, other than Matthew's, since probably the 6th grade) and lots of other stuff. And then once I get to Umass, I know that it is going to take so much time to adjust, how the hell am I going to be able to do work? Ahhh! Getting adjusted SUCKS. Not only that, but my cat Alice has been missing for two weeks. She is thirteen, I grew up with her, she was a Christmas present a very long time ago. I have always wanted a cat. I used to go to my neighbor's house and play with him just so I could play with his cat, when I was very little. I always dreamed of having a cat and then having those cats play with each other. Well, one night my mother called me home from my other friend's house, next door, and when I got inside I found Alice curled up in a ball on my father's stomach, going up and down as he snored. I was so happy! I thought of naming her Tabitha, from the Worst Witch, one of my favorite childhood movies, but in the end it ended up Alice. I miss her so much. At first the news didn't bother me, but soon after it sunk in and I found myself really upset. Even talking about it now brings a pain inside of myself. I mean, I just hope she is in a better place. Kitty heaven!!!! I guess it was her time to go, and she just left, went out to nature to return to its very Essence. I hope it happened like that. She was always an outdoor cat, was gone for days at a time. She wasn't wearing a collar, so I hope someone didn't take her......I will miss you....Alice......
Anyways, I just got packed and adjusted last night. Now, today, I have even more shit to take care of, since I went shopping for college. I got most of my dorm supplies at Linens and Things. All I really have to buy now is supplies for class, books, and some clothes/bath supplies. It was expensive as hell. I didn't even buy all that much now that I look at it in the hall, half of it is sheets and linens. I got a big violet comforter, I love it. Yeah, I haven't even set up my Mac yet. I need to do that soon. And then sift through my mail and through out what I don't need. I-just-have-so-much-shit. I don't need half of it either. I guess I learned what really makes me happy over the summer. My family, my friends, feeling productive, and having a steady stream of anime/movies/books at my disposal. Anyways, this is a really long post. I just took a shower, so I should dry off a little more and start lugging all my stuff upstairs. Later.
