As I mentioned in my last journal, I'm broke. I had an interview go really well today, but they wouldn't have me start until October - AKA, no income to pay rent on my apartment till then. So after a long conversation with my family and a hard look at myself, I've decided to move back in with my mom and go back to school. Honestly it's kind of a relief. I love living on my own and the independence that comes with it, but the whole time I've been working my various 9-to-5s, all I've wanted to do was go back to school and get my degree. So that's it. I'm going to take a part time catering job and go back to college. Now that I don't have the weight of depression and my deadbeat ex on my shoulders, doing well in my classes doesn't seem so far out of reach.
Luckily, my parent's house was built in the 50s; so there's a bomb shelter-esque second kitchen in the basement, so I'd have a kitchen to myself. The basement space is pretty big too.
I figure it's like this: I'm going to be broke whether I follow my dreams or not. Why not enjoy the ride?
As is completely typical for someone in their twenties, I'm broke. Job hunting is murder. No, not like murder - murder is much more fun. It's been pasta, ramen noodles, and mac and cheese for dinner for me all of last month and this one too. I had to skip a punk show I was really looking forward to because the door charge was $25, and my runescape membership just ran out to boot. I had an interview go well today, so hopefully I'll be making some money before I have to downsize to a cardboard coffin and move in to a slightly more decrepit castle.
