  • Tumblr

    so. poor xanga. I have fallen in love with my Tumblr to the point that I neglect this super bad.
    oops.
    Life is life.
    I am moving home in a little over a week. I have no legit job lined up. I have gotten way too attached to a kid here that pretty much makes me forget that any other boy ever existed in my life. That is a good feeling.
    I have no clue what is going to happen. I am going home with him this weekend to check out the western part of the state, and subsequently meet his family. should make for a good time... I hope.

    I was supposed to have an interview with a school director last night in Seoul, but something happened to the phone lines and well they never called and asked to reschedule me for Friday.
    I am so frustrated with the whole process. I just want a job. I want to go to Korea and teach some kids and make some money and travel and have fun. They are making this entirely too difficult. But hopefully I will know by Monday what at least the next year of my life will look like.
    I think my dad is still in denial of me wanting to go. oh well. I guess hopefully when I get on a plane it will sink in.
    If I get on a plane.



  • last weekend

    This weekend. I never stopped.

    The Kid and I went to Lexington/Concord on Friday which was really cool but also it has been over 100F here lately and that is just unacceptable when you are on this 20 mile trail and you want to see things like the capture site of Paul Revere because well you like ridiculous history things like that. Glad the Kid does too. So I was hot and sweaty and miserable in the worst ways. ugh.

    Friday night I went to a goodbye party. It was a wine and cheese type of going away and some of my favorite VISTAs were there. I was fine until I was drunk and realized we needed to leave. Then I did something so very me. I cried. hard. and of course I am like the only person in such a distraught state. how stupid did I feel? super stupid, but I was almost too drunk to care. The Kid got a huge kick out of my post cry and constant giggle though. glad someone could be entertained.

    Saturday Ashley and I went to Maine. I had my first boiled lobster experience. His name was Gustave. Never name your food.  He was a good lobster. I loved him greatly until when trying to pull him open this nasty green stuff that no one warned me about! went everywhere. gross. It was a fun festival where we ate way too much food, listened to a 60s rock cover band that was awesome, and when the sun went down we watched the fireworks.

    Sunday Ashley, The Kid, and myself took a trip to Newport Rhode Island. We saw all of the big mansions and a kite flying park and a hot air balloon festival. It was a lot of fun on another super hot day.

    I have 2 weeks left.

    shut up. What am I doing with my life?

    I hate that thoughts like that kept creeping into my brain all during these fabulous times I was having with my favorite people in Massachusetts.

  • wilderness.

    oh man.
    I spent last week at a retreat on Cape Cod.
    It felt like a million years long, but it wasn't. I got terrible sunburn, fought off bugs and JUMPING SPIDERS. Dude seriously I HATE jumping spiders. They freak me out something bad. Like really why? Why do spiders need to jump? THEY DON'T. sheesh. and I feel all achy from sleeping on the ground in a tent after sleeping on wooden slats in a stuffy camp cabin.
    It was fun. I got to see a lot of new things and do some adventuring but still I was wicked glad to drive back today. oh and shower seeing as how that hasn't happened since Tuesday. But I did get in a lake and the ocean so I wasn't really sooo dirty but I definitely soaked in a tub before showering when I got home. 

    On another note.
    I am house sitting for my boss lady this week while she is on vacation. She has three cuddly tinies. So today I laid on the couch and snuggled with Holly the youngest of the cats. She is soooo cute. I will definitely have to take some photos.
    It is also really nice to have some personal space after not really having any in the past week. I have more than one room to move about in and just in general it is awesome. and CATS. hellooooo totally worth it.

    And
    I think fate is terribly cruel. That is another topic for not today. but soon.

  • just kidding.

    I had a pretty sweet deal all planned out in my head. I would go to South Korea pay off some of my educational debt and then go to grad school with an assistantship pretty much for free.
    Awesome.
    but not.
    Mom calls today to inform me that even if I am 23 years old I can't go. see not awesome. She says that military related grandpa sent her a very serious email letting her know that we were starting to move around troops so that we could send extra to SK to protect them for when NK wages war. great. just great.
    Now I follow the news and I get the whole he said she said finger pointing but really is it worth a war?
    Apparently to them it could be. I understand the risk and while I am one who believes that it just wouldn't be a smart move for NK to make and don't they see that and if they do then how could they ever actually wage war so I would be fine right? just let me go.
    My mom says war isn't logical and when I go to point out how it is she gets frustrated. Sorry mom, maybe I shouldn't have minored in history.
    Anyway she asks me for my back up plan.
    yeeeeeah. I don't have one because I didn't think I needed one. SK was it for me. plain and simple. SK then grad school then I could pretend to actually grow up and get a real job...maybe.
    so after an argument on options she decides that I should just go teach in Europe. I could but with taxes it almost makes more sense for me just to work at Waffle House and move back to A'ville.
    Who knows.
    What I do know is that I am swiftly. Very swiftly running out of time to figure this out.
