What's it like.. to almost be in the real world.

Before I start ranting and raving about my new apartment and what life is going to be like on my "own", I'll share this lovely little article I just ran across.

( Ho ho ho? You shouldn't be offended unless you are one. )

I think that has to be the most ridiculous thing I've read recently. I mean.. really.

Now, back to the original reason for this entry. The keys were handed over to us on Tuesday and the apartment is officially ours. It's great. Plenty big enough for the two of us. But the best part? My dad bought me a vacuum cleaner, a toaster, a block of knives annnd he got me a free washer and dryer :D Amanda's parents bought us a microwave, towels for the bathroom/kitchen, laundrey deg...$217 worth of things. It's awesome. Thennn my mom and her boyfriend are going to buy us a living room TV and she's giving me her entertainment center from her room. AND we're getting a couch from Amanda's uncle.

I'm completely excited.

However, at first I was extremely anxious. I was really kinda depressed. Leaving home is..I don't know. Different than I would have thought. I thought I woulda been like HELL YES IM FINALLY MOVING OUT..but I was kinda like.. ew, jeez, I'm moving out. I like it now though, so that's a good thing, right?

Oh yeh, pictures up super soon, befores and afters :D

New beginnings, new...stuff.

I honestly don't feel like posting, but I figured because this is an important time in my life I should probably document it.

I finally found an apartment, and a roommate. It's a two bedroom 1 1/2 bath two floor apartment for 475 a month. I realized I couldn't afford it by myself so I went through this huge drama with two different people trying to find someone to move in with me. And finally I came across Amanda who is dating Lance [he used to work at Pizza Shack]. Well, I saw her at Quiznos two weeks ago and mentioned that I was looking for a roommate. Three days later she commented me on Myspace and told me she was in need of a roommate and somewhere to stay.

Thursday I signed my half of the lease and totally freaked out. I don't even know why. I got scared she'd back out on me. Or leave before the year was up.. just all kind of stupid, paranoid ideas. I called her and we talked everything over and I got over it. Monday we're going shopping for household goods, and Tuesday she's signing her half of the lease and we're getting the keys. Wednesday I should be starting to move stuff in.

Which means tomorrow I have to start packing, but I have a huge Economics test on Monday. My stupid teacher didn't go over what was going to be on it, so I have NO clue what to study. I really hate that class. I hope I can just pull a B in there. I'd be happy.

Ok. I got distracted, stop typing, lost my train of though. So...yeh, can't wait til Tuesday--I'll have pictures of the apartment soon :D

Broken, broken, broken..everything, everything

So I'm pretty sure I have been deemed a horrible person. This morning when I got to school there was this man walking around handing out New Testaments. When he asked me if I wanted want, I politely told him no. I started to feel bad after wards. Didn't I just, in a way, turn down God? Well, the other part of my mind said, no, you didn't. You just didn't take it because you knew it would probably get shoved to the back of your car under the seat and lost forever. And probably get damaged, too. I really didn't want to take something I wouldn't read, something I knew I didn't really want. Is that terrible? Or is the fact that he's walking around our parking lot soliciting God what is wrong? I'm not sure. I just know that if I didn't write down those thoughts they were going to plague me all the way through the next hour while I was trying to do homework.

In other news, last night Jeremy talked to his dad's friend who owns apartments by their house..and he said that they're $475 a month. This, my friends, is a REALLY good price. He said the electricity bill is normally only 40 or so dollars. I'm going to call him when I get out of class to see what's he got. I'm really anxious to move now that my mom has brought up the plan to let our neighbor, whom I can't STAND, live with us for a while. She has two small daughters and they alone would drive me batty. But the neighbor.. oh she's something. I just don't think our trailer is big enough for THAT many people. It's comfy just the way it is. I hate knowing that I'm pretty much being thrown from the nest--even though she keeps saying, "You don't have to go, you don't have to go." The fact that she's probably going to get kicked off of the land we live on is putting even more pressure on me. Strangely enough, though, I'm not really worried. I'm handing over everything and just saying, what's going to happen will. I don't think God will put me through anything I can't handle.. (Strange that I say that when I wouldn't even take what that man was passing out, huh?) I'm really strange when it comes to religion. I don't even think we should have organized religion, but I seriously doubt that now is the time to go into that.

Exciting news: I just have FOUR classes to take and I'll be finished with school! Down side--two of those classes are in the spring, two are in the fall. But! I get the summer off, I'm pretty psyched about that. Some beach, some where, here I come!
