Today I get to go find a tow place and deal with my car. It is going to take more money for me to finally be an adult and deal with the stupid thing ONCE AND FOR ALL!!! *sigh* I’m not grown up yet or this wouldn’t have gotten to this point.
Last night I ate at the Elephant Bar for the first time. And the meal ended up being free because I killed a cockroach crawling on the wall of the booth. The waiter and manager were horrified. I’m willing to bet they were far more freaked out than I was. dude. I lived in SoCal. ‘Roaches are just part of life.
Despite the fact that I didn’t drag Spot off to the gym last night I had a really good time with him. Conversation was diverse and interesting and other things went damn well. 🙂
Still miss that Noah guy.
Today I get to do lots of errands. Go to the post office for the Noah. Deal with my car. Set up my classroom. Go to my first class at SJSU. I am kind of being a bad person about the SJSU class though. I don’t really want to take a poetry writing workshop. But there are no other classes this semester that appeal to me more. *sigh* I’m kind of wondering if I should just wait a semester and take a class I actually *like* and will enjoy working for next semester. It isn’t like all of my requirements are going to be done this semester anyway. It’s complicated. I have 6 hours to think about this. I don’t think it would be the end of the world, really. Hell–even if I waited a whole year it isn’t like my credits will expire or become a problem and I have a shitload on my plate right now.
I’m just not feeling adult enough to handle one more thing right now I think.
What is this thing you call *adult*?
It’s that thing where I deal with situations while they are small and easy instead of letting them become huge and out of control.
if you don’t want to take the poetry class now, imagine what you will feel like with the school year in full swing and so on. Don’t subject yourself to a situation that you don’t even like before you jump in, especially when it’s not leading to completion of your requirements.
As for the adult thing, I’m not quite clear on what you mean… on the other hand, if I replace “I’m not adult enough to” with “I’m feeling too overwhelmed to” it makes more sense.
Then again, my brain is addled right now, so your mileage may vary. Hope it all works out!
For me, adult = able to deal with things that happen in life. It may be a broken definition but it is the one I generally operate under.
I hope it’s not too broken because that’s pretty much the definition I run with.
Don’t take a class you won’t enjoy if it’s not an actual requirement. What a waste of your time! Especially having to drive so far for it!
With your time so limited, make sure you’re enjoying as many of your minutes as possible. ‘Coz there will *always* be stuff you won’t enjoy that you can’t avoid.
The class isn’t actually out of the way. 🙂 It’s between work and home.
But I didn’t go and that’s that. It’ll work out.
Don’t think of it as taking a class you don’t enjoy (and hell, it’s Maio, you should enjoy it just based on that), but rather, think of it as taking a class where you can get into all sorts of mischief with yours truly.
