Well, it's been a week...
...And that's the understatement of the decade.
Where to start...Well obviously there's the issue of my parents divorcing, that's always a fun one. It's still in the process of being sorted out, so I have no idea what the eventual outcome will be - I'm 120 miles away from home so there's nothing I can do except sit here and wait to be told what's going on. Thankfully April, who I will get to in a moment, has been fantastic and I put my current reasonably calm and composed mental state entirely down to her support.
Briefly, on the job front, there isn't one. It sucks and I hate everyone who's been ignoring my CV without even so much as a "Thanks for the application but you're a tard and we hate you". I'm reliably assured that something will come along eventually, but frankly I'd rather that happen before I have to start digging into my savings that are supposed to be for paying off my student loan.
On the social side, at least my housemates are finally returning to Birmingham this weekend so I will actually have somebody else in the house and along with it the ability to visit the pub without looking like a sad loner.
And now on to April; once again I am largely lost for words when I try to talk about her, but I will do my best. Throughout all of this crap with my parents she has been unbelievably supportive & caring and I can't thank her enough for it - I have no doubt that if it weren't for her I would be curled up in a corner somewhere wallowing in self pity right now. Of course I can't not mention the joys of Hurricane Ivan, which passed through Alabama yesterday - frequent power and internet losses at April's end and tales of the damage being caused from the news reports had me somewhat paranoid for her safety and the whole incident made me realise just how much I love her. I will confess that her refusal to accept that she is beautiful can be frustrating on occasion, but I care about her too much to let something like this, so trivial in the grand scheme of things, affect me. I'll help her see the truth if it's the last thing I do.
So let's recap - my plan of action runs something along the lines of:
1) Sort out my parents as amicably as possible
2) Get a job
3) Save up the ~£400 I need to go and visit April
Couldn't be easier...
...I need a drink
