This summer is going to be quite interesting, in terms of what is happening in my immediate life.
First, let’s talk about Orange County. My brother is getting married this summer to this girl – who he hasn’t known for very long (5 months, maybe?). I believe she’s using him for a green card, because it doesn’t seem like they have the kind of chemistry necessary to sustain a “marriage”. Anyway, the wedding is on August 8th, and I might attend (but we’ll get to that later). My brother, and his future wife, will end up living in my parent’s house after their marriage. I find that quite sad and irresponsible, but my parents really don’t seem to mind. So, I went home last weekend and guess what I saw…. my room, or should I say, their future room?. That’s right ! My room is gone ! All my stuff was moved out, the baby wallpaper taken off – the walls painted green… everything changed. Now there’s nothing in there except green paint, a new window, and not even a light. So much for my room. When I went home last weekend I had to pretty much sleep in the living room – not that I’m complaining about that. There’s starving children in South Africa with much more worse conditions than me – having to avoid mosquitoes bites all night. The one thing I never quite understood though – was that my brother didn’t even CONSULT me regarding the room takeover. I had to find out from my parents. Sigh*. And then he goes on and complains that he’s not close to his siblings. Communication is obviously the problem! Which is why I can’t see how he could possibly sustain a marriage, if he can’t sustain relations with his fellow siblings. So that makes me want to stay as far away from my house as possible. It actually positions me back into San Diego.
In San Diego, this summer I will be participating as a Conference Clerk, my first real desk/communication-type function job. I start on June 14th, which means I will unfortunately miss the Class of 2009’s graduation ceremony. =(. Which really bugs me, but I need this job for a variety of reasons!
1.) Monetary. I’m tired of asking my parents to cover my college tuition. I need to be able to sustain it on my own.
2.) Rooming. Again, the issue of not having a room at home is discomforting.
3.) Internet. I also don’t have internet at home since my dial-up stopped working.
4.) Family. I’m not sure I want to be around my brother and his wife when they’re living in my ex-room, one of my sisters is enrolled in Summer Session at UCLA so I won’t even see her, and the other is working, so I probably won’t see her either. All in all, this summer will be unlike any other summer I’ve ever faced before, which may or may not be a bad thing.
Oh, in terms of where I would live, it’s looking likely to be ERC – which is great. They’re the newest and cleanest dorms. The only problem is, it’s really far from Warren so it’d take a while for me to visit. Oh well. I’m also looking for a second job to maximize my revenue of success.
Sun-god is tomorrow, which is a “all-day concert” at UCSD. I’m only really looking forward to Augustana. The only problem is I have to get in line to get wristbands. The line opens at 9 AM. I have class at 9 AM to 12 PM, so when I get in line, it’ll probably be really long, and maybe will run out of tickets. If it does run out of tickets, I’ll be slightly upset, but not really. I mean, who really wants to be around a bunch of drunk people all day? And I swear, this campus will be so drunk on Friday it’s not even going to be funny. *Sigh. The day after Sungod, I will have staff training as Conference Clerk at ERC, so that will be a positive, enriching experience. We’ll see. Good-bye all!
