Okay, so over the past month + a lot has happened. I guess I just need to start at the beginning. December 8th - My birthday. My family forgot my birthday. I turned 26 this year. I'm excited but then again let down because all I wanted is a phone call. My sister Jackie was the only person from my family that called me to wish me a Happy Birthday. My best friend Todd called me and was the first to call me. December 15th - Finals are over. I passed all my classes. I was so excited. I'll be graduating in a year. I'll be so happy to get out of school, but only to go back in a teach in schools again. It's okay because it's what I enjoy. I have however been thinking a lot about going back and finishing my Architecture Degree. There's just something about it that calls to me everyday. I think about it all the time, but then again I think about music more often. December 23rd - I went home for Christmas and saw my family and friends. I began dating Oscar. It was to the point between us we were either going to have to become more than friends OR we'd remain friends. I initated the conversation over Christmas. I told him how I felt and he said the same so we decided to start dating. He's so sweet. I really enjoy being with him. He makes me smile and forget all the crap in the world.
December 27-29 - So Casey my roommate and I talked about him moving home to save money because of his $35,000 surgery that he'll have on the 12th of January. I talked to him about it and told him he'd save a lot of money. He agreed and decided to do so knowing that I'd not be able to take care of him if he needed me because of school starting. So Talia and I spoke briefly on the phone and she discussed with me about living together. After a few conversations later, we agreed it would be in our best interest to live together. So she and I went and found an apartment together at The Cliffs. I'm so excited about moving there. We move in on the 13th of January. You have no idea how excited I am. The list of things you get is wonderful! Anyway, I told Casey that I would be moving out and he seemed a little suprised that I'd found a roommate and a place so quickly. Nevertheless, apon talking with him this past weekend (the 2 and 3rd of January) he was upset that I was moving out. I told him because he'd decided that he was to move home, I went ahead and found a place to live so it would be easier on him. Instead he said he never had made the final decision on doing so and now I was causing him a lot of financial pain. I told him it wasn't my fault he was having this surgery nor was it my fault that he had his bills on his credit cards. And it wasn't my fault that he flunked 13 or his 18 hours of classes the semester before. He actually believes that he's going to be able to go to school some 2 weeks after the surgery. As far as I know, everyone I've talked to that are doctors said he'll be out of it for 3 weeks at least and he won't be able to work for 2 months. I'm glad I'm getting out of that apartment. I know if I had stayed he was going to make me pay for everything. I'm really upset about him. He's never treated me fairly. I've paid for groceries 280 bucks worth. He wants me to pay him for rent among other things and I have no money because I'm moving. So instead he's telling everything I'm stiffing him on all this stuff. I've told him repeatedly that I don't have the money and that I'll pay him when I can. He just wants everyone to feel sorry for him. I'm not going to and neither is anyone else.
December 31 - So I'm at Oscar, Eve, and Rivers house enjoying being together for New Years. Of course instead of me being able to stay the night, I have to head back home because I'm working 16 hours at the hotel. I guess a positive thing about it is I'm getting time and a half. That's good to know right? Anyway, we're sitting in front of the TV waiting for the ball to drop but it never does, so at 12:00 I give Oscar, Eve, and River a kiss. Of course I didn't kiss them all the same. I reserved a little better one for Oscar. BTW, if you ever see me refer to someone named "Tal", I'm talking about Oscar. It is his nickname. ANYWAY, we started hearing the fireworks from uptown. We stepped outside to listen to them. No worries, it wasn't cold. It was mildly warm; comfortable enough to wear pants and a shirt.
January 1 - I worked a double (16 hours) at the hotel. It was great being back. I enjoyed the entire day. The time just flew by.
January 7 - Tonight I'm at work. Casey wants me to come home and talk with him about bills. I talked to him about it earlier and I don't see the need to talk about it right now. Besides I have to work another 16 hours tomorrow. You'd better believe I'm going to bring movies and other things to keep myself occupied. I'll give him 20 minutes and then I'm going to bed whether he likes it or not. I can't get worked up about bills and not be able to sleep. Talia and I will be getting cable and internet at the apartment. I'm so excited. It has been a while since I've had an apartment with cable and internet. I know it has gone through your mind. "Hasn't he moved a lot lately?" Yes! This will be my 5th time to move since April AND IT HAD BETTER BE THE LAST. Tomorrow, I should have enough time to write about what happens tonight with Casey.
