--- Quote ---Can it be almost a month since I posted? Wow. Seems like I have been letting myself become more and more distant lately. I want to say its due to being busy with college.

This is awesome news.  :rocker:


Don't worry about us. Go be in college. Those are some great years.

Che Gookin:
^This, just don't play college rugby you'll be marked as a lesbian for the rest of your life. Drink beer, lots of beer, be merry, and have a blast.

Try to study now and then also.

katiesthoughts:
I am afraid I am going to be homeless. No place to live past December 1st. Leave it to me to screw up my life so badly I will be in a homeless shelter. Great. Just fucking great.

Someone shoot me and get it over with. :suicide:

Oscar:
You have survived Cross Creek. You can survive a homeless shelter.

What about other students? Are there some in the same situation? Here in my country they often rent a cheap 3-4 room apartment in a cheap neighborhood and live 3-4 students in it. Often they know as much of each other when they leave this common place that they did when they moved in together. One of my old classmates told me that he spoke with his roommates one time per month when the rent had to be paid. It was not because he didn't like them. There was just nothing to say.

katiesthoughts:
Hot damn. Boy has it been a while. Well its safe to say that I have a place to live LOL.. I got my own apartment on December 1st, by myself, which is where I am currently living. The rent isnt too bad.. I can afford it, but just barely. Things are looking up. I am getting my student loans in, so this next semester of school is already bought and paid for, as well as my books. I also have money left over to save for Next semester, and a few months rent. So far, everything is going well.. surprisingly. Just when I thought my life was going down the shit hole everything looked up.

I am still studying Journalism at the local community college, and I am having a good time so far (Even though the semester just started this past Monday) :P. I am currently dating someone now.. and even though I have a lot of trust issues with relationships in general, he is very supportive of me. I haven't told him about my experiences at Cross Creek either. I don't think I ever will, to be honest. My reasoning for this, is that if I continue to dredge up my past and involve it in my life NOW, I am never going to get over it. So, I am choosing to keep that part of my life in the past, where it belongs.

You know what's crazy? I was waiting to catch the bus for school the other day, and I realized.. I don't think about cross creek anymore. I don't brood over it, and I don't  worry, or get scared about it anymore. I am starting to think.. I am starting to know that I am free.

I hope you All had a good holiday!
~May the road rise to meet you. May the wind always be at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, the rains fall soft upon your fields.. Until we meet again!~ :rose:
