Happy Birthday to Me
Ok, somewhat slightly belated considering that it is now the 1st. I just turned 29, and I tell you it's not very exciting. My mom took me out for Chinese tonight. I still have half of my dinner in the fridge. Oh, and there was that case of Guinness Draught in cans she bought me at the beginning of the month. But that's all drunk.
I go back to Ohio in 10 days to see Callie, get my stuff, and move to Tennessee. My financial aid doesn't seem to have gone through the last time I checked, and I still haven't found a (relatively cheap) place to live. I expect to be stressing much in the next few days.
I was supposed to take a trip to Gettysburg about 2-3 weeks ago to see my friend Matt. He emailed me and informed me that he had to run down to N. Carolina to finish the sale on his house. Said it would take about 2 days. Haven't heard from him since. No answer on his phone, nothing. Weird.
I took a trip to Clearfield, PA to see some of my relatives last weekend. It was on short notice, so I didn't get to see too many of them. The nostalgia of going back home was offset by the fact that it was actually kind of depressing. The family in general is doing fine. It's just the fact that, had things been different, I might have reached adulthood there. But then again, how is that really different from where I actually grew up? I liked it here in central PA at first, thirteen years ago, but the novelty wore off not long after high school. Still, I remained here almost three years before running off to join a monastery (literally!)
Ok, so this summer has not gone as well as I'd hoped. But it'll be all over soon. I really don't even feel all that cognisant of all the changes that are going to take place in the next few weeks. I just hope everything works out. Somehow, it always does.
