I don't know what to say...

The school made a unanimous decision to wipe the semester from my record and issue a full refund. Academically, I suppose it's a relief, but personally it's a disaster.

I'll have no choice but to spend another 1-2 weeks in the hell I call my hometown, a place I went to die at because that's all that ever happens there. Anything that can die, dies there. Plus, I'll have to re-pack my dorm after one week (shamefully). Meanwhile, my friends and my band are still scattered as far as I know, least on the subject of me. I dread finding out more as much as I do the next moves to hell then an apartment, the wait, the [Home depot] warehouse, and of course [redacted].

It all could've been avoided so easily, which makes it all the more tragic.


But there is one good thing: my niece is being born. It kills me that I'm in here as it happens but at least she's here. I have to be better for her. Jesus, what if I end babysitting for a while?


I'm hoping for at least somebody to be waiting for me at ship. I've tried calling [via wall mounted phone] Daryl to get an idea of what's going on but no answer. I'll keep trying.

And the [FedEx] warehouse was waiting for me either way. Maybe I can work out a deal w/ the campus to give me enough time to get the money for rent. Probably not. But it's worth a try. Either way I'll be saving more money and I will have more time to prepare for the next semester. I'm just tired of preparing. I want to be doing.


It's all disappointing. The semester, I mean. But there's much to be learned. And maybe, just maybe I can still make something of all this.


Just wish I could do something right now... there's not much but I don't want to say nothing.
