Today is the first of July and I will be hearing from the apartments in a few days to determine if I am accepted or not. I am pretty nervous but I just have to wait and see. Maybe it isn’t nervous but antsy. I am quite antsy to hear the news and to know if I am going to be moving into either Evans Crossing or Springbrook.

As I told everyone they are both pretty equal in terms of quality so I will be happy with either one. I am also pretty happy with Reo though I worry it is all in my imagination. I might just be clinging to someone right now as my world is turning upside down.

I decided I won’t buy anymore weed until I know when I will be moving in, or even until I move in so I can not worry about how to dispose of the bags without my mom seeing. I am sure it will be fine, it is just these days are going to passing by as slow as a snail eating molasses.

I am waiting for Keely right now but I am not sure what I will talk to her about. That sort of prompted me to write down a tentative list of things to talk about.

I am looking forward to when I am finally in my apartment because I can finally focus on my health and buy some plants to take care of. I have like 30 minutes more before Keely arrives and I am already done with everything that I need to do.

Well, during my notes taking I sort of thought perhaps I need to organize things differently than I have or just relabel stuff to make more sense. Also I definitely need to try to use Quizlet to get some of these facts to stick in my head. It feels a bit overwhelming but I think that memorizing everything is not what is important. I is more training your brain how to think and adapt to situations. I just worry I won’t be fast enough since I tend to be pretty slow with things.

My life is so different from before. Even if it hasn't really changed yet, I feel it is going to change drastically.. Hopefully for the good and hopefully I can maintain the positive changes that are going to happen very soon.

A guy came into the cafe who reminded me a lot of Kenta. I wonder why that is popping up. I guess no one forgets their first time with someone so, he’ll always be in my mind. I don’t have that longing or pining I used to have for him as I did. Probably because I have Reo so available to me now.

I am getting a little self-conscious about taking up a full table when this place is becoming busy. I was here first though so I am not super worried. Plus, I will leave right after I talk to Keely so I won’t be occupying the space for too much longer.

Writing this whole thing only took me 10 minutes so, unfortunately it isn’t spending my time as fast as I would like. I am thinking that I should practice Japanese right now just for now. I am organizing my writing here on Vocal since it takes a while for the system to refresh the titles. I also have to make sure there are no repeated phrases/words there so it will take a bit of time to sort.

Yep, that is what I’ll do right now.
