Annual status update
14 years ago
Right, so it's been over a year since I've posted here. Guess I should at least put down a brief summary.
Life has been... chaotic. I attended a few raves with highschool friends several months ago (VERY different culture from furry cons, I gotta say). I completed my 3-semester internship with Cox Communications. But then I let myself sink into a case of clinical depression, leading to my dropping out of school. I got a DUI around the same time. I literally could not sink any lower, even by furry standards. Broke (from hiring the DUI lawyer), unemployed, dropped out of school from lack of motivation... yeah.
But it's starting to turn around, at least a little bit. I did almost everything the DUI lawyer told me to do, and because of that, all the other charges were dropped (not going into detail about that here, long story short I would be behind bars right now if those charges weren't dropped). I've applied for a few local jobs, though none have called me back yet. I want to re-apply to Tech within the year, even though I won't have the HOPE scholarship anymore.
Throughout all this, I'm just so very thankful that my parents are not only tolerant of my complete fuckup, but are supporting me and helping me get back on my feet. That, and the support of my friends, especially the #DC gang, is what keeps me going.
I'm going to Momocon and FWA this year because they fall on the same weekend. I know I shouldn't do either since I'm so much in debt to my parents right now, but I barely ever see any of the locals anymore and the lack of social interaction is really starting to get to me. I won't be buying any souvenirs, or spending more than absolutely necessary for a sleeping space and basic food. I also won't be attending any other cons this year, or any local event that requires more money than the gas it takes to get there. I guess it evens out.
Until next... whenever,
Ricochet

I might next year, just because I've never been to Georgia before. Been to North Carolina, but no further south on this coast (which is weird).
glad things have taken a turn for the better, though. *hugs*
