I think I am so inside myself, beside myself, that my voice is starting to choke back a bit. I can’t wait to get my room set up…granted its just my temporary room, but it’s still mine for the taking. I also would guess I have become somewhat like an adopted sister to these guys…I help them out but it’s one of those relationships that’s definitely a lot of give and take…a pretty lovely case of bartering labor for housing. I want to be solid, on firm ground and find a place to be…but I am really finding everywhere I am suffocating in a lot of ways. At the farm it is just for lack of life and community…in Jersey City I’m a little bored…Or perhaps there is something stagnant about it for me largely. Groups of people are generally the same, rotating easily close to a decade if not more in some cases.
So it’s New York, here I come…through the school years if nothing else, in student housing because really it’s one of those things (school) I need to experience directly. Unless I am getting married, which I ain’t, my life is going to go in a certain direction which needs fluidity that way. But my plans…plans are like hearts…meant to be broken. I came up with that years ago.
I am not sure where…as crazy as that might sound. I just want to make sure I spend all of my time living, and not looking towards the end or too worried about doing what I am supposed to do. I love people and need to deal with people, and one day when I am tired of them I can see myself fully secluded with one person. I guess even now that is where I am, hanging almost exclusively with one person at a time…maybe I should go on this trip alone…I keep thinking I should go with someone, then I think I don’t even like anyone that much, then I think I want to do it alone, and maybe see the young man, or not…I mean. He’s there, and I miss him. But I have had a mini introduction to the city, so I bet if I could do this comfortably I could go to Mexico, too.
Mexico is December’s option.

I'm glad to see you're getting back into school. I always regret not having that "on campus" school experience when I was younger. Just remember, it's better to go alone then not go at all.

ah yes, words of wisdom. I am terrible at taking care of myself in general and school is always an impediment to that. On campus may or may not happen as my plans are always wonky and go with the wind.
