I finally got an apartmen. I can't wait to move in, yet I don't wish to move. Carrie and I have so much fun living together. It's sad. With her working and starting school, me working and getting ready to start school, we are never going to see each other. She's one of my favorite sisters. But, at least I have a home now. I have to share a room with my friend, but I will have a place to live. That's what is important.
I'm at Carrie's place right now. We are going to go play Disney Party on the game cube. I have to be up early in the morning. I really don't want to go to work tomorrow, but I must.
I am trying to figure out what is so cool about Facebook, but I still can't even figure out how to use it, or what the point of the site is. Sending little pictures of coffee and old 80s toys? Fasinating. Anyone have any thoughts on this odd popularity?
Good night.

Decisions

I have decided I am going to college. I have to move out today, stay with my sister Erin in her apartment for a few days. My friends and I are waiting to hear back from an apartment we are wanting to rent. I hope they let us know soon because I don't really want to hop around from Erin's home to my friend Sami's place, then to my dad's, and Carrie's. My three months are up, Carrie's husband is coming home from the road today, and his grandparents and two cousins are going to be here. Today is really going to be hectic.
This apartment we are looking into is a two bedroom, so me and my friend Christina are going to have to share a room, and Sarah gets the other room. I have not shared a room in years, so this is going to suck. But it is affordable. 200 dollars a month each. I can do that. But what I really want is a place all my own. I could afford four hundred on my own, the apartment next to Erin's that will soon be vacant, but it would be difficult. Plus, Christina and Sarah are counting on me, so I can do this for however long our lease is, but eventually I want my own place.
I am going to go to college. A woman from work just left Barnes and Noble to go on a six week dig in Mississippi. We talked occassionally about archeology. I have always been interested, but never as a serious choice for my career. Then she left for Mississippi, and I thought, that sounds like fun. I started reading as much as I could about history, archeology, paleontology. I bought several books, taped loads of programs on the history channel. I want to study as much as I can and see if I am still interested in a few weeks to actually go to school for it. I think I am.
Carrie is not going on the road anymore with Ray. She also needs to make more money. We are all struggling. The world is struggling. So she's home for good. Got a job at the BK down the street, starts classes in a few days. She's going to be a nurse. Her sister-in-law just graduated. She wants to work in a high security prison, or maybe go into criminal law. I'm not sure. But me and Carrie are getting very motivated. I'm very anxious to go back to school. I was in college for about a year, and now, three years later, I am ready to go back. Now that I am sure what I want to do.
