Over the last few days...
I feel like I should write something, but I really don't know what. I guess the best place to start is with what has happened these last few days. It boarderlines daytime soap opera stuff. You know, that is kind of a funny pairing of words: Soap Opera. Where did the term come from in the first place? I thought opera ment singing in some forgin language. I've yet to see a soap opera with singing. And where did 'soap' come from? *shrugs* anyway...
So my roomy has know since at least August there would be a really good chance I would be going back to Florida to find a roommate to replace me. How hard she has looked, I'm not sure but now that it is a reality there is no one to take over my rent.
Where does that leave me? Paying rent on two aparments; one in FL and one in ID. Ouch...no money at all for me. I have worked something out with my parents so I will pay half and they will pay half, but it still will not leave me with much money for myself. Needless to say, I've been losing sleep over this issue.
Once finals were over with, I was finally able to attack the issue of packing up my stuff to move it all back to Lewiston and promply sort it all out again and repack @_@ Right now my room looks like tornato hit it. There are boxes and other stuff shoved in every corner. The bed has been burried under a fair majority of stuff and there is just enough floor space visible to take three steps and shut the door. I have to go and work on that project some more later today.
Christmas came and it was ok. My mom and I went to 11 pm service at her church. As she puts it, 'What side of Mid-night do you want to be on?' My dad and brother did not join us since they were both crashed out and I have yet to see any one wake my brother up out of sound sleep. My dad simply rolled over, but was wide awake when we returned. In fact, at 12:30 am, Christmas morning, my dad was starting to make rolls ~_^ He couldn't sleep so apprently backing would cure that illness. Whatever.
Later that morning(9 or 10-ish) my bother cooked breakfast for us, which was a big surprise for all, and opened presents. It was a fairly simple Christmas. I felt bad because I didn't get my family anything but if I had, I would have been lectured to about how I should save my money and not spend it on them and still have the guilt.
After that, I spent some time working on the desastor in my room, trying to make sense of it all. I actually succeeded too, until we made one last run up to Moscow on Sunday for a final cleaning and to move out my computer, bed and desk. I'm so glad all the moving is done. I just now have to figure out what I have again!
Which brings me today. I spent most of the day running around taking care of my parents shopping list, visiting the insuracne company to figure out health insureance (that is a headach right there!), packing, cleaning my car, and taking care of other tasks that need to be compleated before leaving town.
I forgot how informative the Weather Channel can be, but I've been watching a lot of it lately. As it stands, rain will send my mom and I out of the great state of potatos and other then that, who knows. The wonderful Weather Channel can only talk about the East and West coasts but nothing in the middle so what should I be expecting weather wise on this little trip of mine?? I have no idea.
I feel like I am rambling, but I have not repeated myself. Either way, I am going to end this. As of today, I do not know what type of computer set up I will have. If I'm lucky, one of my roommates will bring their computer because I have no room and Santa did not bring me a laptop (which I would like to have someday), so no computer.
What will that mean? In short this place will die and so will end my diaryland membership until I return and have an e-mail account closed because it became too full. Then again, I may be able to con my parents into shipping my 'puter but I doubt it. We'll see what happens. In truth the only reason I would need a computer, would be to register for fall classes in April.
Eep! I just got a call from my parents had half to pick them up from work. I may add one more entry before I leave, we shall see.
