Just kidding. That's Sam's painting. He obviously did not get his artistic abilities from me, because he kind of sucks. I really have been painting though. June bought me some art supplies the other day for no other reason than to try to get me to stop throwing her things off the roof of the apartment building. She was pissed when I tossed the phone over the railing, but you know, screw her for leaving me. Anyway, I used to paint all the time. That's all I did in high school. I don't remember when or why I stopped, but I did. Now, I'm starting again. Except, when I started a couple of days ago I figured I didn't have anything better to do. Now, unfortunately, I do have better things to do.
Better thing #1: I got accepted at UCLA for the summer session. I start classes in a couple of weeks. I'm taking a history class, a psychology class and a math class (which will probably make me want to kill myself). I didn't declare a major or anything. I don't know what I want to do with my life. Well, I know what I don't want to do with my life.. and that is nursing. Plus, I don't want to make any rash decisions and declare something, because five minutes later, I'll want to change to something else.
Better thing #2: I need to start packing my shit up. I think I may have actually found a place to live. Not sure. I should probably meet this guy and make sure he's not psycho or doesn't live in some kind of dungeon or something. I guess I'm staying in L.A. for now. Until I get bored anyway.
Better thing #3: I GOT A JOB! Like, an actual job. I went to campus the other day to fill out some registration papers and take some placement tests and got a job working in the library. Yes, you read it correctly, I'm going to be a librarian. Hah. I don't know why they thought I'd be good working in a place where you have to be quiet and non-judgmental, but apparently, they were desperate. Whatever. I'm not complaining. I'll take whatever I can get right now.
Those are all the better things I have to do. Don't get me wrong, I don't plan on putting painting on the back burner again. I'll just have to fit it in somewhere between homework, shelving books, packing up my life and beating my head against the wall.
