Starting Anew
So I'm going to try and give blogging another try in this age of twitter and facebook. Hopefully, I'll prove to myself that I can keep a schedule. In the past, I haven't even been able to take my medicine on time and ended up not taking it at all.
It's been a hectic couple of months. Due to some family circumstances, I took my 2nd year of university part time and worked full time instead. So June's approaching and I totally hate my job (night shifts at Tim Hortons). I get the great idea that I'll quit first and find a job later, because the grocery store near my house is always hiring. Big mistake. Due to some petty argument with my dad, he ends up kicking me out of the house around the end of June. He tells me I have until he gets back to leave the house, so I call up some friends and ask if they can help me move my stuff out. About an hour or two later, I'm packed up and ready to go. But where am I supposed to go? My best friend since grade 5 says I can stay at his place at least for the night. After some negotiation, it's agreed that I can stay at my friend's place for July and hopefully find a job during that time. Well, we all know what happens when you stay with a friend and you're both free most of the time, especially in the summer.
A beach trip and many other outings later, August is approaching fast. Obviously, I didn't find a job (To be fair, I did look and submit apps for a week, but in July the chances were pretty slim). The end of July has arrived and my friend's parents are gone for the long weekend. I'm pretty much packed up and have everything loaded into the van. As I'm about to leave, he asks me if I can stay for dinner since he's already making it. Of course, I can't refuse the request. We end up making some delicious risotto with portobello mushrooms, pork chops and steak. We had plum wine and cheap chardonnay to go with the meal. After we'd finished eating, we'd had a bit to drink and decided it'd be nice to get some friends together to drink a bit more. After a trip to the convenience store for some chases and mixes, friends were over and we were set for a good time. And what a good time it was. Played lots of drinking games, had fun talks and best of all, no hangover! And so ends my time living at a friend's house for a month. Next stop, grandparents' apartment.
That's it for now. (´・ω・｀)ノシ
