2:35 Mid Wednesday Afternoon   Hope for The Future So buying a house is looking REALLY do-able right now, well i mean not RIGHT right now, but in the near future. And of course by near future, I mean within five years. right now that doesn't feel like the near future. Right now 4 months doesn't sound like the near future. Anyway so my job is going pretty swell. This is my fourth week and I just found out a few days ago that they do expect to keep me on during the school year, which is sweet as. This is the sort of job I can handle, not like Catering with its random hours and being expected to stay at work til 1 am on a "school" night when my first class starts at 8:30 the next morning. SIGH. That is mainly why I quit. Also because for the first time in months I was starting to have a social life. Hahaha. That mean I was hanging out with Steve on a regular basis. That will never happen again. I digress. If he decides to do a PhD here, we'll buy a small house or condo here...because I fully intend on marrying him when I finish my degree. It's exciting, in any case, because for the first time I'm feeling confident that when we start spending the rest of our lives together, we'll at least be able to somewhat afford a roof over our heads. Last night before I went to sleep, I prayed for a long time. I prayed out loud and it felt really good. I should do that more often, for sure.
