So this weekend I'm going to be moving out school. My disability specialist told me that I should get out as soon as possible to stop charges since I'm not going to class, so I can get my money back.
I'm feeling a little overwhelmed at the moment because everything is moving so darn fast. It doesn't help that I'm just mad about the whole situation anyways and I just don't want to go home for the next 6 months or so.
Ginger (My campus disability services specialist) and I are going to continue to work on getting things set up for fall after I move home. We are going to investigate some possible changes in my major and do some career counseling pieces while I'm doing nothing at home. She is also going to get me information on a online business program that is offered through Michigan Rehabilitation Services (which I'm already affiliated with, they help with finding a job and offer assistance in paying for training and college) that gets you certified to start a small business from you home. We think something like that would be really ideal for me to do, cause if I'm working from home I can really make my own hours and set things up in a way that makes it work for me.
So I'm really trying to see all the positive things that I'm going to get done while I'm at home so that I can have things set up as much as possible and have my next semester hopefully go much more smoothly

l left school early myself and didnt get allot out of it but l wish you well in trying to get on your feet with regards to the information youll be recieving if you need any online help once you get things going lemme know, l might only have limited time now but lm usually pretty quick, l help run 6 or so sites already lol and lm managing pretty well even tho l dont have as much time now
So its official. I'm now living back at my parents house. I got everything moved out and said goodbye to my friends.
I was pretty impressed with myself, cause I managed to hold back and only cry like 3 times today...so I thought that was pretty good. I feel like if I really let myself start to cry that I'm not gonna be able to stop and I just don't have time for an emotional breakdown right now...I got other more pressing matters to deal with.

somehow that made me feel unfeeling and unemotional lol moved away from quite a few friends in the last few years and lost a friend or two to accidents and for some reason l felt tho it should affect me it hasnt then again l have this annoying tendency to bottle things up to boiling point. l have a really long fuse thanks to my sister and her annoying nature so l tend to pop at boiling point and well l hope that doesnt come anytime soon...
as for my earlier line of conversation l have finally purchased my new 32" monitor along with 2drives looking forward to tuesday...
*Stacekins gives hugs to Timeless to say thanks for the hugs*
I have a tendency to bottle things up until I explode too and with everything going on I'm kinda at the exploding point, so I don't have much control over my emotions...I will just be talking and then end up crying...
I really doubt that your unfeeling or unemotional...everything that you've ever posted shows me that you are an amazingly thoughtful and very sweet person. Some people just deal with their emotions in a different way, or in my case I don't deal with them until I hit a breaking point.

I am beginning to learn that it is the sweet, simple things of life which are the real ones after all.

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt within the heart.
~Helen Keller
considering l spend so much time alone lm supprised that l somehow keep my emotions somewhere around, there have been times where lve just not cared and felt doing stupid things just didnt matter and l could do them easily... but generally somehow sanity always kicks in and about the only stupid things l could ever do would be if they were required in order to help someone :P
my only problem tho is my temper, altho l bottle stuff breaking point is not a pretty sight, thank god l have a lock on the door when my 22yr old sister is on a vendetta to reach that boiling point.
I have a horrific temper too and I really have to be pushed really far for it to be seen at its worse. A lot of times it was from my sister intentionally picking and picking at me til I just flipped out and was just pissed beyond belief. I've lost my temper about doctors too, although luckily not with the doctor there...I held off til I left the office and was in my car or at home to just explode with anger...
