ivy's been in ny for about week now, interviewing for jobs and staying at my place. i must say, its a pleasant change of pace to have some company around my apartment. (i never see my real roommate. ever.) its like ivy and i are making up for the lack of quality roommate time we spent actually living together last year. and i actually have someone to speak to besides myself. haha.

on another note, the reality of me moving back home is slowly setting in. i interviewed a possible replacement for me at work yesterday and am starting the search for someone to take over my lease. (anybody interested? let me know.) i find myself doubting my decision at times, simply because i'm going to be unemployed. for how long? who knows. and even worse, i'll be living with my parents.

i haven't told my parents that i'm moving home yet. i will soon, i swear. i DREAD living at home. when its for a week or two, i can handle it, but indefinitely? oh man. i can hear it now from all my friends "go home and drink your milk." haha. yea, my parents often still treat me like i'm 15 and after being completely independent for 5 years, i don't know how i'll be able to stand it.

being home by midnight, reporting on my every activity, not having cable or dsl, working as free labor, constantly subjected to my parents tempermental nature, and basically overdosing on family quality time. not very appealing. i'll be quickly reminded of why i moved to ny to begin with. i desperately hope i can handle it without driving myself insane.
