Year off

I realized that since I’ve been neglecting my diary for a while, I haven’t written much about the fact that I graduate college in a few weeks.  I’m definitely looking forward to being done with that, but unfortunately I know that studying pre-law really is only useful if I continue on to law school.  For now, I am going to take a year off of school.  The non-profit I have been working for has hired me into a full-time legal assistant position and that will pay the bills as I have to start contemplating which law school I want to go to.  I’ve always been looking for excuses to leave Boston, but some of the best schools in the world are here so I have to think this through.  Also I suddenly have a really nice new place to live.

Speaking of that, it’s just about another month until my moms have officially moved out and we can move in.  We decided to keep the lease on this place until the end of June so we wouldn’t have to hurry with the move.  But since my mom has already started moving a lot of things out, we’ve started moving things in.  Cindy and her family have been living there for several weeks now since that part of the house was already empty.  Guy and I will be moving into my moms’ bedroom.  Only recently have I started to wonder if that is going to be weird.  I’m thinking it won’t be, but maybe a little at first.

Cindy has been annoyingly needy ever since Jayson started working nights again.  The truth is that Jayson makes a lot better money working at night and it’s a good situation for them since they need all the money they can get, but Cindy calls me three or four nights a week (often after I’m already in bed) to tell me that she’s lonesome and can’t wait until I am living there with her.  I can wait.  I’m actually really hoping I don’t end up regretting the decision to live with her again.

Guy woke me up this morning with a Mothers Day card and gift. He did the same thing last year.  I’m not a mother and I never will be, but last year when I pointed that out to him, he responded that as far as he was concerned Mothers Day is a celebration of womanhood, not just motherhood.  I like that.
