So, my new place has no internet. I expect I'll be a lot more productive on some of my art and writing projects because of it, but it feels a little like being cut off from the world. Luckily, there's always Starbucks wifi.
I have a job interview in 2.5 hours. I want the job. I need money, even tough I'm fine now. I want to save up and take summer classes online. It'd make my life a lot easier.
Still no bed. That bothers me more than it would have a few years ago. I like sleeping in a bed, and I'm no longer used to the pallets over wooden slats non-YHI hostels pass off as beds. I want to travel again, too, but that's not happening until next winter. A month in a warmer clime will be nice. Need to live trough this next while, though.
I'm planning to live with M next year. The bed I'm getting is a double (remember to buy sheets), and we'll probably end up using that. We both want another roommate to split the rent with. It's not going to be good for him when I join the Peace Corps. It'll change a lot, and I don't know if it will be a positive or negative change.
It's funny, talking to T about joining the Peace Corps. She says she doesn't feel like she's good (connotation pure of motive) enough to join it. I tell her it doesn't matter; I am, and she's stubborn enough to ensure that we do what we need to. I almost think that's more important. It's only vaguely pure of motive on my part to begin with. I want to help people, yes, but I want to travel and have something amazing on my resume and get a chunk of money at the end, too. I don't know why more people don't join. It makes sense. It's easier to start a life with leadership experience, a chunk of change, a degree, and student debts than to start a life with student debts and a degree. Better job prospects, for one. Oh, well. I've been told repeatedly I don't see the world like other people. And now I should go catch the bus.
