almost 3 months have managed to craaaaaawl by me, and it bothers me to admit that little to nothing has changed for the better.
i, now, live at home, an interesting experience though hardly exciting. day in and day out, i spend my daily 24 in the company of ma and pa. suddenly, i'm 3 years old again, and my best friends are my parents. i have no responsibility, yet somehow earn an allowance. do not fret; it boggles me as well. i know i was meant for more... i just don't know for more of what.
however, i beg you not to fear for my sanity or well-being. i do manage to escape nearly every weekend to spend time with the old gang. they are an easy comfort. old habits are so hard to break.
with no true end in sight - an end to this less-than-luxurious lifestyle i lead, that is - i recently decided to shift my take on things. like i said, i have zero responsibility at home (mostly because my parents and i both thought i'd be out of here by now), so i am blessed with a glorious 8 hours of solitude each and every day. 8 hours that i, and only i, get to decide how to spend. thus, in an official decree to myself, i will use these daily 8, for as long as they may last, to become the person i have so longed to be for, well, so long (or as close as i can get to being that person in 8 hours a day).
i will begin taking a serious approach to reading, perhaps, even reading some of those so-called "textbooks" i have left over from my harrowing 4 years at a university.
i will begin taking a serious approach to diet and exercise. i've always wanted a slightly thicker build, so i assume i could start eating twinkies while i watch tele... err, while i read all day, then follow that up with a little time on that workout machine i've had since last christmas. it's about time it saw what's outside its box. it's about time i saw it outside its box.
i will begin taking a serious approach to making myself a more valuable workplace resource. i keep seeing these commercials, which i guess i won't see once i start reading all day, for these online classes that get you prepared for an information technologies exam. once you pass the exam, you become it certified, which is apparently a great thing for working professionals. i've always been really good at tests, so i figure i'm a sure thing.
those should keep me busy for at least a week. those and a return to my teeth whitening regimen.
as sure things go, i'm the surest.
molly's p.s. - there won't be any more of these. you're back from italy, and i talk to you on a pretty regular basis. i could start making them for lindsey, as she's in london now, but she prefers email. i prefer drawing her crude pictures and mailing them across the ocean to her. luckily, she's willing to compromise. i wish i could draw crude pictures on here because i've got something to say... and occasionally, it can only be properly conveyed in crayon.
