So I'm now pretty much settled in at my new place. I don't have the internet there yet, but Marcus and I are at the library right now looking up ISPs, so I think we'll get it sorted pretty soon. I hope so, anyway.
The last few days before moving back were weird for me, I kept feeling like there was something else I should be doing. I think it's probably because of having to leave Buffy and come back home after almost two months of being away. Getting to the house helped1 and after having set up a few things I'm feeling a little better. I have a few websites to work on for some money, and I'll be trying to get a job soon2 so I've got stuff to do, but still I'm being left alone in the house a lot. I'll just have to find ways to keep myself occupied.
I'm a little worried about classes starting up again. Hearing Buffy talk about how hers have started piling the work on already isn't giving me too much confidence for mine. I haven't been to a class for over a year now, I got so used to working 9-5, doing my own thing and getting paid for it that now I'm going to have to have classes, homework and part-time work all at once I know it's going to take a lot to get back in the groove. I hope i can keep on top of things, I have a final year project to worry about too. Bah. At least this winter I'll be able to see Buffy again. And relax a little. And play Animal Crossing DS3, Mario Kart DS and Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time4 a lot. Whee! Nothing like a girlfriend and videogames to lift my spirits.
Okay, time to look at internets. I'll try and post more soon. Peace!
1 though I managed to leave behind both my phone and my DS charger when I moved
2 right now I've not been looking too hard. The AMC, where I used to work, isn't giving out too many hours, so I'll try a little later on just before the students are back and things pick up a little more.
3 now titled Animal Crossing: Wild World, apparently.
4 the sequel to the pretty awesome Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga for the GBA.
So hey, I'm back from the states now, and I'm pretty bummed out about it. It's always hard to leave Buffy behind, but each time it gets harder. I found myself crying on the phone to her the first time I called after I got back. I hate the shock of knowing that you can't just turn around and see the person you love anymore. And being there for 7 weeks meant that I got to do that a lot. Roll on winter.
I returned from America with a truckload of DVDs1, Paper Mario 2, Sin City: That Yellow Bastard, lots of new clothes (that make me look awesome), two pairs of shoes, lovely lush facewash, Missy Elliott - The Cookbook and Lil' Jon and the Eastside Boys - Crunk Juice. Yes. I know. It is amazing. I had such an amazing time2 and all I can think about is going back. It's Buffy's 21st this winter, and although she doesn't want me to miss classes it'll take a lot to keep me away.
Edit: I forgot to mention the TWO BAGS OF CANDY Buffy bought me which were not only stuff I hadn't tasted before, but since I saved a lot for the trip back home they were also a lovely sugary/peanut buttery treat to accompany me.
I'm kind of in that lull between big things right now. I've just been living with Buffy for all summer, and now I'm waiting back home to move into my new house. Marcus and Gav are both away right now, and they'll be working a lot when they get back too, but at least I'll be with friends again. And pretty soon I'll have a job and internet access, and then I'll be in classes again. But I feel kind of lost right now. I don't know what to do with myself most of the time. I've been given a couple of web design jobs to keep me busy, so we'll see how those go. Hopefully the money that I get from these will cover a plane ticket to Buffy again. That's what I'll be thinking about, anyway.
I won't have internet access at the house for a while, so expect another break in posts, but I won't leave this for as long, I promise.
1 Napoleon Dynamite, Scrubs Season 1, Hot Shots!, Hot Shots! Part Deux, Vanilla Sky, Snake Eyes, The Life Aquatic and probably a few more.
2 as I tell every single person I meet when they ask me about the trip, rather than talking about how sad I was to leave.
