One of my best friends in the entire world, Sachi, came to visit the other day. It was really really nice.
I cleaned the apartment in preparation for her arrival and I found 64 dollars in my bedroom, which was also really really nice. I have one of those old Victorian desks full of secret compartments, and apparently I put 60 dollars in one of said compartments awhile ago and promptly forgot about it. Which is a good thing, because I found it when I was quite broke.
I love talking to Sachi. I have been friends with her longer than almost anyone else I know. When we talk it is easy to see how much we have changed over the years, but also in what ways we have both stayed the same. Our lives have been so incredibly interwoven over the last eight years that a lot of the time we lived different parts of the same story or stories. Even now, though I am far more removed having decided awhile back that drama is officially "not for me". So I will gossip with her at diners in the middle of the night, but that will be the end of my involvement.
Growing up is such an interesting process. Sometimes I hate it. Such as when it comes to cars breaking down, unplanned-emergency-explosive pregnancies, crazy land-lords, and paying stupidly high bills. Mostly though I love it. I love not living with my parents oh so much, and I especially love living with Shawn and Mr. Fred. I'm actually even enjoying school. I've gotten to the point where I have really finally firmly decided I want to get a degree, something which at first I had been adamantly against, then very unsure of. It's also such a relief that I can now identify when something is stressing me out, and then take the steps to calm down again. And it works. I like being sane. A lot.
I do need to get a job though, since I am plum broke. A job + taking 16 credits next semester. We'll see how long I stay sane.
I only plan on working 5-10 hours a week though.
It is interesting to think that in the last 4 or 5 months I have had some of the worst luck in my entire life, but at the same time I consider them to be the happiest and sanest I have ever had. I guess that really just goes to show you how much better equipped I now am to deal with my problems.
