4:30 Mid Tuesday Afternoon (15 September 2009)   Faceless and Soulless Youth I wish that society would better itself as time goes on, but it just seems to get worse. classes are going well so far. work..not so much. Halloween is coming up fast. Belly Dance show is coming up even faster. I'm prepared for neither. I dreamed last night that Caleb and I had free airfare to wherever we wanted within the continental USA. I had weirder dreams but all I remember is free airfare. In other news, my dad got offered a job by a company in Chch and I wish that they'd advertised for this position like 2 years ago. The logistics of going now are a bit off since my sister refuses to go but can't stay here by herself, my mom just started her career. Dad could go a year and leave mom and sis here but they need a team leader, not a sabbatical guy. If he had gone, how would life be different? Would I have gone to uni at Canty? Would I be closer to my friends from high school? Would I miss the USA? Would Caleb and I have waited longer to get married? Would we have gotten married sooner? Well, that potential history is a moot point but I just don't think he's going to go. It's a shame because it'd be less work than he's doing here. Less pay, but he wants to live in NZ. Mom could probably start up a soil testing lab. He says that "Well, one of the reasons Mom and I didn't have kids until later on is because we didn't have grandparents close by to act as free childcare, so that would be to your disadvantage if we move." Then, a few hours later he's like "I just got off the phone with Blair (another wheat breeder he knows) who asked how your wedding went and how you and Caleb are. He also said that grandchildren are the only reason to have children." um. thanks but no thanks.
