I just received word tonight from the owners of the house I’m house sitting that they will be moving back in on Thursday of this week (the 28th).  That gives me five days to move out.  Not much of an advanced notice.  They did make mention that they didn’t expect my brother and I to be moved out right away, they assumed that we would be able to coexist in the same house for a short while until we could move all of our stuff out.  I can’t honestly imagine that it would work.  I mean, I hardly even know the owners of the house.  The only reason I’m house sitting for them is because my gram is friends with them.

Anyway, the joy of living on my own is coming to an end.  No longer will I have to figure out what I am going to have for dinner.  No longer will I watch tv nice and loud at night without worry of waking my parents.  No longer will I get cell phone service at my house (that’s actually a big deal to me).  I really enjoyed being on my own.  It is a lot like releasing a demosticated animal back into the wild.  You aren’t sure if they will ’sink or swim,’ you just have to hope they use their knowledge to make it through.  I feel confident in saying that my parents did a good job of preparing me to be on my own.  Even though I will be moving home after only being on my own for 6 months, I know that I would be ’swimming’ on my own if I had my own place.

The outlook for the future is probably going to be as follows–I will be moving back home with my parents for what I would assume to be a few months.  I wouldn’t mind staying there until I finish this current semester.  To actually pack and move homes two times during a semester would just be too distracting for me (at least I think it would be distracting).  After a few months go by, depending if Jeff is still willing, there is the possibility that Jeff, Amanda, and I will get a place together.  It would be beneficial to all three of us.  All of us would be closer to work, I would be closer to school, rent would be split between us, and Jeff and I are best friends.  We had planned on getting a place together since we were seniors in high school, it just never happened.  I have a feeling rooming with Jeff would be a blast.  Honestly, what could be better than rooming with your best friend and you girlfriend?  (Probably just rooming with your best friend, but I should probably keep that on the hush hush.  Oh crap, I published this post.  Amanda, skip over this part.  :-)  You know I enjoy living with you.)

I should probably try to get some sleep for the night.  I have a lot of packing and moving to do tomorrow.  I’m hoping to have everything moved by Sunday night if at all possible.  If it isn’t possible, I would like to have everything moved by Wednesday night because I will need at least a day to move all the furniture back to the original places before the owners get home.  I have so much to do.  Why couldn’t this happen before the semester started?!?!  Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.
