This Is Getting Better
So I am staying until next week as planned. Good, no?
Yesterday, RN invited me to go to a party with him and his friends at a hotel. I knew that if I had someone pick me up, I would have inconvenience that person later on when I would want to leave because I knew that I was not going to stay over. My only other option would be to ask my parents for the car and after much consideration, I asked them.
I was surprised to find that my father had allowed me to take the car so easily, so I took my sister’s advice and I told him my plan. I told him that I was going to head back and if in a month I had not found a job again, I would consider going back home. I told him that I had already spoken to a woman who’s going to help me find a job and that for the summer, I would consider taking a class or two. He knows that since I will not be attending the Spring semester I will not get financial aid over the summer and he says he will be willing to pay for that all. It is quite expensive to take a summer course since every unit is at least $200. I told him that I may or may not feel confident enough to take classes, but at least I said that instead of promising to take classes, right?
Anyway, when I was talking to him, he wasn’t angry. He had on a concerned look, but that is quite understandable. Since then, I have felt much more at ease here knowing that there isn’t any awkward tension between us. Or at least I think there isn’t any.
The party was rather mellow. It wasn’t large; probably about eight people or so when I was there. They had a hookah and participated in that for a while. I met some rather interesting people. There was a guy, M, who was trying to do something with magic. I don’t want to try explain it all, but it had to do with gathering five trump cards from a tarot card set. We did a lot of lounging around and just talking. I finally had to go and drove RN home before heading home myself. I don’t know if it got crazier after I left since they didn’t buy the alcohol until then, but it was still a nice party to go to.
As for today, I’ve just been at home holed up in my room watching Gilmore Girls and listening to new music. There’s a bunch going on in my head (and sadly, my heart), but for now, I just want to try and erase it all and pretend that I’ve forgotten.

I’m glad to see your parents are coming around to your compromising, rather than saying no you stay here. That’s quite an improvement. What’s a hookah ?
