T Minus 9

Time for the obligatory writing on the change I'm about to go through in 9 or 10 more days. On the 20th, I'm out of the hometown. It might be temporary, if we were to find a place in the hometown, but it might be for good if we life somewhere else. I'll most likely move into my college town house and live by myself for a week or so. Only problem there is meals and entertainment. My meal plan won't be in effect for a good 2 weeks after I move in, so I'm gonna have to rely on myself, I guess.

I might ask to crash at Eric's one day, or stay at Cathy's with mom or something, but eventually, I'll be in the college town, most likely by myself or alone with Ian, which will be a pain in the ass.

Either way, my days of responsibility-free hanging out with my boys are almost over. Soon, I'm gonna have to devote my time to going to classes, working, studying, and keeping up the house. All my time's gonna be taken up soon. My weekends, when not loaded with studying and homework and housework, will be my only saving grace.

Worst of all, I have to live in a house with Courtney, which I am not going to enjoy one bit. I'm going to try to keep myself from hating this kid, but it's gonna take a real effort. If he starts bitching, I'm not going to sit and take it. I'll be friendly, but I'm not going to be his friend.

Anyways, in keeping with the apparent theme of my life nowadays, I'm going to focus on the positive. I'm gonna see all my old friends from school again soon. Melody, Grace, Rachel, the rowers, Darrel, Alan, Aziz, and hopefully a little of Ronnie. Personally, I could give two fucks about Dana, Dan C., Courtney, or any of the high school grads that'll be there, although I'm sure I'll see a lot more of them. It's funny how I feel closer to people I've only known about 8 months out of my life than I do some people I've known like 10 times that. I guess living with people does that to you.

I really think I'm gonna miss the dorms, though. The reasons are pretty obvious, really. I liked having chicks around at times, while other times, it was fucking difficult. It'll give me somewhere to go to get away at least, this year. If I'm getting cabin fever, or Courtney's bothering me, or I just need to get out, I can always hop on a bus to the other campus or walk over to Melody's house.

I'm thinking really choppy, though, because every time I think of a bad thing, I think of something positive, and vice-versa. There's just so much that's going into this move that I can't think coherently and thoroughly on one aspect.

Let me take the double move itself. It's a pain in the ass moving twice. Not so much MY stuff because I don't have all that much stuff, but all the crap in the house is a pain. On the other hand, it is kind of exciting that I'm going to be living in 2 completely new places, and they're going to be my homes. Maybe the new place will offer more privacy. Or a bigger room. Or friendlier neighbors. Who knows what can happen with that.

I'm getting very tired though, and can't exactly think straight, so I'm gonna end this here. I'll probably pick up on the same topic again, since this is so big and important.
