She's pure as New York snow..
Mmmm. So, now that I've discovered that underfed + underslept + overstressed + PMSing = pseudo BIPOLAR Kat----I can make an intelligent decision about whether or not I need to come home early.
Really, the only thing at this point that is keeping me from saying yes, go ahead, I want to go home about a week and a half early is the fact that I really want the extra money.
When is money no longer so important?
I AM having fun. I wouldn't still be here if I wasn't enjoying myself. I've loved sailing, I love the northwest, I really have been enjoying my job (dudes, this has been the BEST JOB EVAH for me) and it's been a neat, refreshing experience doing what I want in an area that is basically a clean slate for me.
Mostly.
Um, newsflash to grandparents? If you say that you're "going to treat me like an adult"...that really doesn't mean enforcing a bedtime (yeah, bedtime) of midnight. Because, you know, I AM twenty and I've been keeping my own hours at college for two years now, or did you forget that? And the whole thing with telling me, before I came to stay with you, that you would leave me to my own devices with my room and then turning around and insist that it's neatfreak nazi clean (right down to INSPECTING MY FREAKING CLOSET) really doesn't do much for me. And several other little things that are insignificant on their own but that are really kind of starting to chafe. And, you know, call me silly and spoiled, but I want a microwave and a goddamn TV. *grins*
That, and the fact, taht, basically, I do not think 10 days is enough time to see my friends and family and take care of any business, foreseen or unforeseen, AND move into my apartment (asdklfja;sdfjao;wieural;sdjf) before school starts. Traci gets married in October and I'm in the wedding and I've hardly seen her this summer. I want to see my mom, and my dogs, and my brothers, and my friends, and just sort of have some time to relax, before autumn quarter starts up.
At this point, I fully intend to pick up a part time job during the school year---it's at the point where I feel twitchy when I don't have some extra source of income, however small. It'll probably be waitressing, since I'm very good at that, but enough people have harassed me about it that I will look into modeling (?). Maybe for the art department or something? *shrugs* Whatever, me want some extra cash.
So I guess it's time to go home. I even have a date picked out, a new one, with the perfect Leaving the Northwest type event a few days beforehand. I'm going to see Prince live in Seattle with my sweet coworker Regan on August 31st. We're going to drive down, have a fun time in the city, eat a nice dinner, and then rock out. Me love live music. And, dude, c'mon, PRINCE. That's gonna be fun and you know it.
I think I'm going home on the fourth. I've made a significant amount of money this summer and I have one more week of work, I think, but I think it's time for this little adventure to end.
I'm sad that I didn't get to see a few people while I was out here (namely, K and Hiery, and Elijah mun) and ecstatic at the people I DID get to see. (*licks Ari and Kurai*) It just didn't work out. *snugs* I'm sure I'll be out this way again in the future.And I will be sure to stalk you then YOU CANNOT ESCAPE
And now I'm gonna end this, cuz I have sailing lessons. I'm going to be taking out a little Laser boat, this teeny little easily capsizable, very responsive....sloop? Not sure. *flails* I'm probably going to return damp and chilly but thoroughly exhilirated. WHEE!!!! WISH ME LUCK!!!
And pray that my lifejacket works. *LMFAO*
