Back at work... it's 10:41 at the moment and if I had it my way I would watch movies on NetFlicks and read Xenocide until my break, but one of the higher-ups is here today so I have to "look like I'm not bored" today. Now that's a challenge...it my opinion I could do a much better job pretending not to be bored if I was able to read while he's here...but no, I can't.
I snuck a chapter, but I don't think it's all that wise to sneak another...being that each chapter it about 40 pages long. I cannot believe I haven't even been at work for a full two hours yet. This is going to be one loooooong day.
It's even difficult to call people on the phone today...and Baruch doesn't seem to pick up their phones. I have all the wrong numbers for T.A.P. and CUNY is just an answering machine right now. This sucks.
Steve's at home, sleeping now that he's back on his regular night-time working schedule...I'm not exactly happy about that. And it's our 7th month.
Wow, seven months already. I can't believe that much time has already gone by...not only the fact that I've been with Steve that long, but that seven months are already gone. I mean...seven months ago I was on my way back to AZ...Trying to get into college (and very hopeful) and single...I was living at Jasmine's place for the next 3 days until I would fly back to AZ...Where I would come to find that not only could I not attend ASU in the spring, but it was also too late for me to get into a CUNY. Then I waited two weeks for Steve to drive out to AZ and take me back to NY where we I moved in with him in his apartment with his roommates. Both of which hated me. I stayed there for two months until we abruptly moved out and hoped from place to place for a month while he went to work and I babysat, was still truly jobless, and we looked for apartments. We finally found a great place in Brooklyn for an even better price, I found a job, and we painted and moved our stuff in...All the while I was trying to get into ASU's summer session to erase my debt with them. I worked at one job for two months when Steve's mother called and offered me another position that paid higher and offered incredible benefits...after much deliberation I took the job and am still working here two months later. Our apartment has had tons of money go into it...it's looking much better than it did four months ago, and I am still trying to have everything resolved with school.
I am more stable now than I have been in the past 4 years...even while at ASU I was only thinking about leaving so was never stable. Things are coming together. It a year Steve's getting a new car...by November we're hoping he'll have a day job and he'll be in school by spring. I should be in school by spring as well and may be able to for fill my credit requirements in the winter session in order to remove my ASU debit. I am happy with my job for now, and believe that I will be here at least until my senior year of college. Once a full time student I will have fully free flight benefits from my mom and I will be able to travel as much as I like.
It has been a long journey and I wish more had changed in the past seven months, but I've laid the ground work for what will come and hopefully by mid September the next seven months will be clearer in my mind and I will know what to expect.
It is now 11:03...I still have to wait another two hours for lunch and then another 3 or 4 after than in order to go home. I just can't wait for Thursday when I will get my pay check and I can resolve everything that needs to be done money wise. As well as buy my mom's b-day present, a wii, and new tv stand.
