hiya! it’s been a while, but no excuses… just updates!
tomorrow is my calculus final (just what i want to be doing with a Friday night!), and i have yet to study. i’m not too concerned since i’ve aced my last two tests, and i have an a average overall. i just need to show up and do well enough to get a c in the class. my diploma will be arriving in the mail shortly, but i don’t know what i’ll do with it.
i’ve been scoping out places to live. there’s this one house in anchorage that’s right on the delaney park strip. it’s a very nice part of town, and i’d be renting a room of a house with 3 other people (and one dog) in it already. it’s a cool house. it was built in the 1960’s, and the people that owned it were very wealthy. there’s a huge vault in the basement of the house that they used to keep their valuables in. it’s the same size and type of vault that bank of alaska used for years. it’s got steel reinforced concrete walls, floor, and ceiling. so some creepy stuff could happen there, but the owner had the locking mechanism removed. now’s its little more than a glorified sound-proof workshop with a punching bag hung up in the middle. i had an interview that lasted nearly 2 hours with the people that would be my house-mates, and they’ll let me know if they want me to move in sometime next week. there were about 10 people that were interested in the place, and it had only been posted for one day. i’ve been looking at renting a room some other places, too, but none of them have been nearly as nice as the place on the delaney park strip. some of them have been downright disgusting, but we won’t go there.
i sold my jeep, and i purchased a truck. if i was rich, i’d get a personalized tag to say “3p1c mt.” well, not anymore, but that’s what i would have done when i played world of warcraft. on the game front, i’ve been playing civ4, battlefield vietnam, and oblivion. when i say i’ve been playing oblivion, i mean that i finally joined the theives guild and ran around exploring stuff until some stupid goblins camped me repeatedly. i also picked up a game for my ds… it’s an old game from the snes with baby version of all the mario guys (i think it’s yoshi’s island, but i’m not sure). i’m on the third or fourth castle of that one.
work is going well. my promotion came though, but my pay increase did not. my boss said she’d work on the pay increase, so we’ll see. it’s been very, very busy.
the court date for my divorce is in 12 days. i don’t really have much to say about that. everyone keeps saying, “at least you’re happy now.” that could not be further from the truth. the loss of my marriage and all the hopes and dreams that were tied up in it does not make me happy. a lot of my self-identity was tied up in justin, and redefining myself in terms that simply do not include him has been a roller coaster ride of good and bad feelings. people also keep saying, “i’m so sorry that you’re going through that.” i don’t know what to say to that either. i always say, “it’s okay. really. it’s fine. i’m fine.” yes, it’s hard and it sucks, but i’m not drowning in despair and sorrow. i have hope that things will be better eventually. this is a huge change, and i’m excited for all the new things that will come my way. i feel so alive when new experiences fill my waking hours, and i’ve had some amazing new experiences already. i know that’s a bit of a teaser, but some things just aren’t made for the intarweb!
a life without cause is a life without effect, so here’s to the start of one very silly girl’s search for a cause.
