alrighty sooo....tomorrow we get up at 7 (only 5 hours earlier than ive BEEN getting up) to drive up to dallas to take a tour of the UNT campus.i hope it is as nice in real life as it seems in all the stuff weve looked at.still havent figured out how to get the housing application yet tho. the online ones dont seem to work correctly for some reason. the last few days we have been trying like crazy to get every thing filled out and turned in that we need to, and we are starting to run short on time. but i think everything should work out and ill be out there on my own very soon. however it may be more "on my own" than i thought. because today my dad was informed of a very well-paying assignment that they want to transfer him to....in CHINA. now i dont think hes accepted it YET but it seems like hes going to. and since theres no way in hell im going to go live in china, things may get a little complicated. since i am 18 i do not have to go with them and as ill be living in a dorm by the time anything happens it will not impact me directly, however it will mean that i am essentially all by myself in the country. i dont know if they let you live in the dorms over the summer but even if they do i expect that would be pretty dull since everyone i know has always gone back to live at home during the summer. i however will have no home to go home to. so the complication now becomes where do i stay? certainly i have family scattered around the country and surely i could stay with one of them if i needed to but....well i dont know if i like any of my relatives enough to be able to tolerate them for a whole summer. of course i also have friends scattered all over the WORLD, most of whom ive never met in person tho so i doubt it would be appropriate of me to even bring up such a thing. but nevertheless, id rather be here than in china no matter what my living situation. not that i dislike china or the chinese in any way, but i have only just begun doing things with my life and i KNOW i would not be able to do any of the things i want to do if i lived there. things are still being discussed and nothing is set in stone yet. but at least i know i can (and WILL) stay behind, unlike the previous times weve moved.
aversin:
Wild! And I thought I had it weird with work. Stints in Venezuela, Canada, and now they want to ship me to Libya! But in any case man, if worse comes to worse bus ticket your butt around during the summer as much as you can! Adventure time! If nothing else I've got a couch and I'm only about 300 miles from Dallas!
Cheers man, and you never know, China could be an adventure as well!
