We finally got the keys to the apartment two weekends ago. Since then, I will have been up there every weekend for the past 3 weeks now, and I'm going back this weekend as well. He moved up for good on Sunday, right after Summercamp, and I went up with him. Came back down on Monday, and let me just say I have never felt so alone. My days are completely screwed up, I keep thinking today is Thursday and that I only have two more days until I get to go back up and see him, and then someone reminds me that it's only Wednesday. I still have at least three more days. Maybe four since I just pretty much got forced to pick up another shift.
Friday's his birthday. He'll be nineteen and spending it alone. I feel terrible about it; I really want to be there spending it with him, but I'm stuck working Friday and, like I said, Saturday. I bought him a birthday card today and wrote him a 6 page letter, stuck it in the mail and hopefully he'll get it in time for his actual day. In it, I told him I had a big dinner planned out for Sunday night, so to come hungry and to invite his parents, if they were still going to be in town. (Apparently they're coming up early Saturday morning now, so he won't be completely by himself.)
He calls me every night, and if he doesn't get to it, I call him.
I'll be there for Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and part of Wednesday of next week, and then Thursday I'm hanging out with friends and Friday we're heading to the beach for a week and a half or so. As soon as we get back, though, I'm heading back up north for good, and I can honestly say I cannot wait for the day when I can wake up in his arms and not worry about a 3 or 4 hour drive south.
I'm completely head over heels for this kid, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Coffee brewer broke Saturday. They finally came out to fix it today, only to inform us that nothing could be done because it wasn't breaking down while they were there. Sweet. He just got paid 72 bucks an hour to stand there for 4 hours and basically do nothing. Wish I could do that, shit.
Found an apartment on Thursday. We applied for it and are now just sitting ducks until they call and let us know, yea or nay. Nervous? Me? Nope. Not one bit...
K. I'm lying.
I'm terrified it won't work because of my credit or past apartment experience. If it doesn't work out.... god I don't know what I will do.
Oh. Weird. Friend from highschool who moved to Cali sophomore year who I haven't spoke to since somehow got my phone number and just sent me a text. Very weird.
Anyway, sitting at Starbucks on Main. Hearing some sad news about some of my favorite baristas but oh well.
50 more days and I'll be heading to Madi, Wiz.

The apartment search has come to a standstill at the moment.
He's moving in a month, and his parents want him to focus on school financial first. I guess that makes sense? I don't know.
We're going back up on the 9th.
God I can't wait to get up there.

T-Minus 5 hours and counting. Are you excited? You should be, 'cause I am.
It's going to be a busy day today.

Monday's the big day. We're leaving at about 5 in the morning, maybe 5:30 depending on how tired I am, and arriving at Janesville around 8:30, 9:00 depending on the time we leave. I have a college visit scheduled (scheduled yesterday, again, I apologize to the ambassador who has to give the tour. Sorry for such late notice.) with UWC-Rock County at 9:30 in the morning. It'll probably be about an hour long or so, and then we're heading to Madison. At 2 p.m, I have a tour at Edgewood which will last about an hour, and they have me scheduled to visit with an advisor. Considering I already talked to her, I may not have to do that again.
At 3:30, we're heading over to the first apartment complex on Williamsburg. Then at 5 we meet up with the Madison Apartment company people and check out two other places. Hopefully we'll be headed home around 7, 7:30? Maybe sooner if we hurry through the last apartments.
It's crazy to think about, but he's moving in less than two months. He wants to move in basically by the first of May (I know the countdown on the first post says differently. That just goes to show how quickly he changes his mind about things). Which is, by my calculations, only 55 days away. I haven't discussed it with him yet, but I'm pretty sure I am not moving until at least June, maybe July depending on what type of summer classes I take.
Him and his parents got into it earlier today about what he was going to do about work. Currently, he's an unloader for the Evil Empire, and he couldn't hate it more. It's getting to the point where everytime I talk to him about it, he gets upset and angry and threatens to simply walk out or not show up because, after all, what does he need a job for? He's "goin' to college!" But as his mom pointed out, the job market isn't exactly as stable as it once was, and he'll realize once he gets up to Madi that it'll actually be a lot more difficult to find a job than first assumed.
Both of us have gotten coached by our managers about tardiness and call ins. Myself, I couldn't believe how many times they said I had called in or been tardy in the 5 month period I've been there. 9 absenses and 18 tardies. That's unacceptable even to me. I can't believe they haven't fired my ass for that yet. But, they're being nice, and they're putting me on a 30 day "probationary" period. Basically, I can't be late or absent at all for at least the next month, or else it's goodbye dreams of living away from home and hello unemployment. I can't let that happen, no matter how much I might hate management.
And as for him, there's talk going around the Empire that he'll be fired before he gets a chance to transfer, thanks to Chippy Chip. He's been coached twice, once about his tardies, and the second about this guy who his friends call Chippy Chip. Apparently dude is taking it to the store manager as a racial slur. It was never meant to be that, but if he goes on and takes it to her, my love might as well kiss his job goodbye. Start a fight with her, and you're good as fired. And knowing him, he'll definitely fight.
In any case, when we go up on Monday, on top of the school visits and the apartment tours, I'm going to try and help him find a place to apply at. Something, anything to help him get his feet on the ground the first month he's there, at least. Then when I move up there, I'll (hopefully) have my transfer and then be able to work that job and another part time waitressing gig or something. I hope he knows what it's going to be like on our own, living literally pay check to pay check with little to no food most of the time and absolutely no spare money to spend on, well, anything, really.
It's been a couple months since I last had to do it, and I never thought I'd have to do it again this soon. Oh well. Got to do what I got to do, right?
55 more days til he moves.
115 more days til I move, roughly.

Crank Dat Cavalry Boy -- I Set My Friends On Fire |

Went up to Madison last Wednesday. It's nice up there; I definitely didn't want to come back home. Checked out the University of Wisconsin in Madison. All I have to say is, wow. It's like a whole other town inside the city, complete with it's own apartments and hospital. That, to me, is ridiculous. U of I isn't even that big, and it's pretty big. As Milo put it, if you take the Riverfront and multiply it by 3, maybe even 4, you have UW-Madison's campus. Crazyness.
We're going back next Monday. I'm driving this time, so hopefully we won't get nearly as lost like last time. We managed to miss the same exit on the way to Madison and on the way back home. Not quite sure how it happened, but it was okay. Stopped at the Oasis in Bellvediere or whatever it's called and got some food. All in all, Wednesday was a good day, and I have no doubt that next Monday will be too.
Here's the agenda for next Monday (so far):
At 2pm I have a college tour at Edgewood University. I have no plans of attending this school until at least next Spring, but I still want to get a feel for what it'd be like.
Then, directly following this tour we have to find Williamsburg Rd and go tour a couple apartments at 3:30.
At 5, we're touring a couple other apartments on Moorland and Mineral Point.
I'm trying to get in touch with UWC-Rock County in Janesville to set up a tour for early Monday morning, but I have a feeling that isn't going to end up happening. In any case, no big deal. The rest of the day seems to be pretty filled up as it is, and of course Milo would rather we go later in the morning anyway, seeing as how he wouldn't have been off work for more than 3 or 4 hours before we would have to head up north. But we'll see what happens.
This is the agenda as of now. Everything is subject to change.
86 more days until he moves. 122 days (roughly) until I move.
Oh man, I hope we're ready for this.
