6:15 Session

Ok. So the promise in my previous post has yet to be fulfilled. I have written yet another alliterative title. I guess I truly am a sucker for the literary device. Shoot me (not really though). But anyway, the Northwest Passage recently ran into an obstacle that has forced this writer to take a backward step in his trek. Alas, I was unable to get a job in State College. Needless to say, I'm disappointed, if not a bit distressed. I really wanted to prove to myself that I could move out and truly live on my own, even if just for a summer. The fact that I was unable to realize this goal is a bit of a downer as it also means that my girlfriend and I will have to wait a bit longer to live together. She left for home today. I will not see her til July 4.

But all is not lost. No "Lo hemos perdido todo". If the State College experiment had been successful, we would have been together, yes. But that would have been it really. We both would have worked shitty jobs in a fairly shitty place. Neither of us would have been able to really move our lives forward in any meaningful way. For my part, I would not have been in the position to meet with people who could potentially provide me an avenue for getting a professional job. Phone conversations would have been the only means. That would not have worked to my advantage.

So yes, I am back living with my parents after a month of peace and serenity. But, I will be able to hold onto the nominal amount currently in my bank account and work on setting up a situation where my girlfriend and I can have a place to call our own that doesn't have a lease up in August.

Guess that's all I have for now. Thought I had more. But I don't. Until next time.
