HOME OLDER PROFILE NOTES DIARYLAND

135
I shut down before I even hit the driveway. I'm looking forward to a time when the living room doesn't feel like a privilege that needs to be verified ahead of time (like scheduling an appointment), and when I can use my Xbox and TV without asking for it. I might move it back up to my room, because it's getting extremely aggravating.

Been looking at apartments in Portland instead of working. I found a few that I like quite a bit, but one of them isn't even in Portland, it's in Tigard. I don't think I would mind living outside the city -- in a way I might prefer it, actually. I'd expect it to be a tad cheaper, but I'm not sure. The place I'm looking at looks about the same.

As long as I'm within 50 miles of Portland, though, I'll be happy.

I also thought of looking for work in Seattle, but that might pose a problem if I sign a lease. I could easily find a roommate, so I wouldn't have to worry, but I don't know if I want to deal with roommates again. We'll see. It will only be temporary. If I can't find anything within the first few months of my lease, I can probably safely extend the search to Seattle and then either drive (it's only a couple hours) for the last month or tell them I can start closer to my lease-end date.

Something will work out. I just think of these random possibilities. I love planning, and I think I would enjoy having a career that allows me to plan things. Perhaps that's why being an Academic Counselor appeals to me so much -- I'll just be planning students' degrees. I also would like to be a Web Content Specialist, which is essentially just planning content. So yes. Planning. Organizing. I should focus on that.

December really doesn't seem so far away right now. I think it will come quickly, now. Only 135 days.
