two more nights, but one more day in Vancouver.
And then I travel back to Victoria for summer classes and to see boyfriend. I miss boyfriend. It's been over a week since I last saw him in person.
I'm most worried about the random people I'll be living with, if there personality types will clash with mine or him. Since it's residence on campus they technically have some say over if it's okay to have someone over, and if they're afraid of him then it's more difficult ignoring that fact then it is living with my friends.
And I really hope they aren't the type that insist on inviting the entire world and their dog into the building, since that would clash with me. But it'll be worst if they're uber feminist types, cause that would mean neither him or I have a chance of ever getting a long with the people I'll be living with.
I should have just found my own place, but the idea kinda settled in my brain a bit too late for finding a 1 bedroom bachelor.
But I miss boyfriend and want him to cuddle cause he's warm and comforting. and it's been a week and a day since I've seen him. I've talked to him lots, but it's not quite the same as having his presence next to me.

If it's a dorm room on campus, you can always do a roommate swap. That's what I did at some point.
Also, glad to hear that you'll get to see your boyfriend again. Bein' apart can be hard!

Semok If it's a dorm room on campus, you can always do a roommate swap. That's what I did at some point. Also, glad to hear that you'll get to see your boyfriend again. Bein' apart can be hard! It's cluster housing, so there will be 4 of us in the space. They have this big conference on campus so they're only using 3 of the buildings to house full time students. All the dorm rooms are singles (mostly), but then I'd be forced to eat campus food and get sick from deciding not to eat once again. I think it won't be so bad, but it's just possible extremes. It's also possible it could be coed that would be a change. Yay Boyfriend. heart And I'll get my bike back, boyfriend has been storing it at his place while I've been gone.

Semok Well I hope it all works out for ya. I've had both horrible and wonderful roommate situations. My roommates for this last school year have been good, up until the last month or two. But everyone was stressed that our landlady was coming back and she didn't actually keep us updated with when. I'm thinking I might find my own place for this last school year. But I want to see that I can actually cook and clean for myself before bringing that up with my friends. In other news my friend might be transferring to my University pending a late acceptance from the other schools she heard from.

At this point, I'd move anywhere. xd Couch surf your way through grad school? I want to live on my own, and be able to have a lot more freedoms. boyfriend is worried I might have a staph infection. I had this thing in my finger that was really painful, but over the last week the pain went down. But now it turned into a blister thing. So I guess I should get it checked out at the health clinic if I get a chance tomorrow. If it is Staph, boyfriend is a carrier for a version that is immune to regular antibiotics. So I'll have to see.

Then again, I know that I'm a hypocrite and just go with the flow on many aspects of my life, so I'm not really sure where I'm goin' with this. These kinds of conversations are the ones that make me feel like I should do a bunch of wild and crazy things, and just really live life. At the same time I know I need focus to get through school, and then after that I can make money and I can do stuff that won't distract from that. I spent a lot of the year, since I started dating my boyfriend, and from classes about what it really means to live. Aristotle said that living life to the best of it's ability is leading a life of study. But I interpret that as learning from experiences and education and just about anything you can. Boyfriend likes to bring up that people don't live anymore. They sit around on their computers do basically nothing, complain about not having enough skills to work. I know people who are trying to get through university without the basic understanding of how to pick up a book and read. It's kinda scary and kinda sad. I think people like to blame politics for the reason jobs don't exist, but the truth is the fact people can be on computers all day and not pick up the skill like programming, or invention, or anything is the reason there exist a problem with skilled workers, educated people. There's Mills view of Consequential-ism, where they talk about the different pleasures. Higher pleasures that come from reading great works, education, and other big categories. Then there are lower pleasures that are what most of the world enjoys. The problem with a society that mostly enjoys lower pleasures makes them unqualified to make moral decisions. Consequential-ism is often argued that it makes us no better then pigs, we like to roll around in the mud and do nothing all day. "Doctrine of Swine" It's a scary idea knowing people are willing to submit themselves into a position where they can't make basic decisions on what is morally sound.

That's how I used to think while I was in college. Once I got my master's, I could finally get a good enough job to make enough money so I could do all the things I've always wanted to do and live my life.
Only problem is that I'm unemployed with a bunch of loans.
Furthermore, once you get a job, almost all of your free time just disappears. You get up, go to work, come home, go to bed. Rinse, repeat.
I feel like life is just completely messed up. Now people waste most of their lives, hopin' to retire. Only then can they finally start to live a little, but by then, most of their lives are over.
I just don't get it. How did it end up like this? What's the point of it all?
I also don't understand the point of retirement. People should like the jobs they get and find a career that fits with what they want to do for a livin', not just some job to carry 'em through to retirement. Maybe some people just don't have the choice. I don't know.
All I know is that the things that really matter to me I'll always have. I got my awesome cats, I got music to listen to, nature to be inspired and moved by, and endless ways to learn about whatever topics I wish, thanks to the internet. Besides personal loves, like my cats, music, and nature, I agree that knowledge and experiences are the most important aspects to all of us, and those who miss out on it, miss the point of existence.
Whether there is an afterlife or not, infinite or not, one can already be certain that our life on this earth, in this body, is finite, and thus we should make the most of it and wait for nothin'.
Then again, I suppose I'm a bit of a hypocrite, since I've mainly been stayin' inside with my face glued to various screens. However, second only to my cats, the most important personal thing to me is my imagination and mind, and no matter where I am or what situation I've managed to get myself in, my imagination always supplies endless amounts of wonder and entertainment. On the other hand, my mind has brought me the darkest and most destructive of thoughts, but it's also brought me the most joyous and inspirin' of thoughts, so you take the good with the bad.
Again, not sure where I was goin' with this. My cats are awesome, though.

The problem is the jobs that exist, are there to fill the need.
The elderly aren't doing old people things like getting sick and dying. (not trying to be harsh) Young people also don't want to listen to the history that they could learn from.
The younger people can't do their dream jobs because programs to learn the skill have to be cut to fund programs for the elderly that are supposed to be getting sick and dying.
And we have the influence of technology. It produces a need for highly skilled workers, that most peoples dreams aren't to study math, programming, graphic design, anything with a technical aspect. Internet blogging ruins the chance for people to be great writers.
My room mate signed up for an English/History Coop and the jobs she had to apply for all wanted them to have the ability to build websites. Which without basic programming, which requires basic math you can't get a job doing something in the field you hopefully picked to enjoy life.
It takes me back to the Giver where once they reached retirement age 65 I think it was they were killed. Other problems exist, but most jobs are in care for the elderly, service, or understanding math, and science. And when that's your option people are really just too stupid or just can't progress in a field they desire.
Even though people should do work that makes them happy, I also think they shouldn't knock down doing menial work to make ends meet while they look for something that would make them happy. I feel like if you're "incapable of menial work" you're incapable of working in general. Though maybe I'm missing something with that.
