For one, Ben made a fantastic dinner. Our last homemade meal in Beirut :(
Another is that Christian jogged 2 miles to get a place where he could get internet, so I got to chat with him online. That was great, of course.
The big thing, though, is that I feel like my life is finally starting to take on a shape of its own.
You see, I was talking to my cousin-in-law online yesterday about everything, about my parents, what I'm planning on doing, my ideas. I've been considering declaring myself an independent, I've been thinking about living with my adopted family across town, I've been thinking about moving to Columbus altogether. I'm thinking definite no on declaring myself an independent because I need insurance and I'll only have insurance through OSU during the school year. And the main other reason I haven't done anything else is that I rely on my parents for transportation, both to and from school as well as when home so I can get to work, see friends, etc.
While talking, he said, "I wish there were a way to get my 97 Civic DX to you." BOOM! PERFECT OPPORTUNITY!
I asked him how much he wanted for it, and he said "Well, you take some time to think about it and name a price, and we'll go from there."
So, Christian spent all of his time online searching for prices of the car with that mileage and getting auto insurance quotes. He really is the most fantastic man I've ever met. When I have a little idea, he pushes me to look into it and not just brush it off and call it impossible. He takes his own time to do some of the busywork to get me to really see that it's not a stupid idea and that I really am capable of improving my life. He is amazing, and I love him madly.
Anyway, the plan would be to fly out to California sometime before my cousins move from LA to London (we'll miss a few days of school but oh well) and spend a couple days with my cousins, then drive back to Ohio from California.
We were hoping to go to London during spring break to see them, but this is well worth missing it. There will be other years we can go to London to visit. Then during spring break, we can drive down to Florida to visit my grandparents then spend the rest of it in NC with his dad! I am so excited by life and its opportunities. :)
The main problem is that OSU stopped their transportation to the off-campus OSU library where I work.... So I may not be able to keep my job there....
But I have time. They're not moving for awhile, so I can get back to school in September and see how things work out.
Gas won't be too bad because I probably won't use it unless I'm driving home or to see Christian. So that's good.
If I do this, I will officially be broke as fuck, but in the long-run, it'll probably be a good thing.
And then something else happened today.... YAY!!!!! xD
I am so happy I absolutely cannot contain myself. So thrilled. Things are finally moving forward!
Now, I just need to harvest my happiness and energy to study for these intense final exams I have tomorrow... EIHH!!!
Miles from LA to Ohio: 2,356
Days left in Beirut: 2.5
