Almost Homeless?

NNNNOOOOO!!!
I must think positively. As of right now, I have no possibilities but I am going to call a few people. Everything will work out. If anyone is reading this, and they know of someone who is renting an apartment for less than $700 a month. For the love of hot showers, Please contact me!!

Ah the difficulties...

The strangest thing about today was how difficult and yet easy it was. I had this sort of detached out-of-body experience going on. I didn't get done until 12 even though everything after 10:30 is late. I didn't do my usual easy peasy route in the PM. But for some reason, I took everything with a shrug and a sigh. The only thing that made it so easy was the fact that I DONT ever have to work full time again. If I don't want to, that is. I'm not quite sure how my future will pan out in regards to that but for right now I am thankfully going back to school. My first day is tomorrow!! I'm so excited. I'm going to take my trumpet even though I don' t have to and then maybe I'll go to LYRIC. Because I can now! The Roommate is supposed to be coming back to pick up her stuff with one of our very good friends which is also quite exciting. I plan on having a wonderful weekend. I don't think I've ever looked forward to a Monday morning but this could be quite close. I get to sleep in until 6 tomorrow! Strangely and pathetically happy that makes me.

Any Day I don't have to work

is an okay day in my opinion. These past couple days have been quite work-free. At least with regards to California Overnight. I did do all of the usual things like laundry and dishes and cleaning. I also went to go look at a couple of apartments which fell through spectacularly. One was with this bitchy gay couple and one was with the elderly asian couple. Not exactly my particular cup of tea roommate wise. Although, I really shouldn't complain. Especially with my current situation. She's finally coming to get her stuff on Friday. She's bringing along one of our friends who I am happy to see but, realize that it will most likely mean someone sleeping on the floor. Also, she most likely expects me to help her move out which I wouldn't have minded had she told me in advance. But, I've made plans to possibly be in Santa Cruz and/or just out and about. I don't feel as though I owe her anything especially due to the fact that she apparently thinks that I do. And that's enough on that subject. I spent a few hours last night at an apartment warming party for an SFGMC chorus member. That was quite fun, although it did feel somewhat out of place being the only person there under 25. Largely, the group was middle-aged and middle class. I guess that's to be expected considering most of them were from SFGMC. Still, I had fun. Going all the way to Oakland was an adventure. Let's see....I don't really have much else to say except for the fact that I'm SO excited that this is my last week of indentured servitude. And school starts officially on Monday!

BART?

I've discovered that BART gets me back to my apartment. In half the time, no less. Well, that's not entirely true. But, it does cut at least 20 minutes off of the time that it usually takes. Which is quite wonderful. It's unfortunate that it doesn't take me to work in the same amount of time. I have to be there far too early for that. But still, coming home for a break and having an extra 40 minutes in which to sleep, or check my e-mail, or just NOT work is something to be appreciated. I slept today for 2 hours in between shifts. It was sorely needed. SFGMC rehearsal and the subsequent hanging out with a new friend at In 'n' Out lasted until 11:30. Which means 5.5 hours of sleep for me. Very, very not good. I've noticed an infrequency of posts as of late. Probably because I get bored writing (and you probably get bored reading) about the complaints that I have with this current phase of my life. Oh well. I guess the next post will try to be more interesting. I can do that, to a certain extent. I'll just have to find something interesting and exploit, examine and explain it.

At least

what a funny phrase that is. "At least". I find I use it all the time. "At least" I have a roof over my head as of right now. "At least" i'm going to school and trying to better myself. I think it acknowledges the positive, yet somehow focuses on the negative. Like today, I could focus on the fact that I have to go to work tomorrow, that I'm getting flabby from the constant consumption of Pan Dulce, that I still haven't found a place to live, that I might not be able to be a part of GLAM youth show choir anymore or that I still have 11 more days left until school starts. Or I could focus on the fact that I found my iPod (so now I don't have to endure the sounds of the bus), that my computer works, that I didn't have to go to work today, that I hung out with a friend or that I'm working to alleviating the problems mentioned in the negative side. I think that "at least" has its uses but I should try to refrain from saying just a little bit. Maybe. Or "at least" try.

I am Reconnected

to the world at large. Haven't had my computer for 8 whole days. It's been mind boggling. At first it was the power cord. Then, it was the wireless adapter. Then it was the motherboard...Blah, blah, blah. I just want my damn life back to normal. So, after an exorbitant amount of money and time spent computerless, here I am once again. Let's see....since I last posted I have worked a total of 8 full days. I'm even training someone who is even more painfully new than I am. It's quite taxing. I don't think I had enough sympathy for my coworkers when they took me out to teach me how it's done. Although, my trainee is really, really obnoxious. He's old and full of opinions that are just...wrong. And he asks way too many questions. I've really begun to understand the phrase TGIF. To me it's more like TGIMFF. With the abbreviated expletive to add emphasis, of course. I've auditioned for and become a member of the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus. I'm an upper Bass and quite pleased to be one of the Chorus' youngest members. Not much else has changed. I've taken to the mantra of "It's only a step, It's only a step" This portion of my life is only a step towards the greater goal. I want to complete my education so that I may be paid for doing what I enjoy instead of the situation as it stands now: being paid for doing something that I loathe. Oh well. I'm almost half way done with it. The 24th will mark the day of my freedom. Except on Tuesdays and Thursdays. It shouldn't be so bad once I move to an apartment that's closer to my job and school. The house hunt has proven fruitless thus far but, I'm not worried. Now that I have my computer back it will continue on with far better chances then it did when I was separated from the world. I should probably be getting ready for bed, now. It has been wonderful to get my fix and satisfy the craving that I've been having to blog it up.
