This is my first transition. I was welcomed to Saipan by a group of people who I now spend just about every minute of the day with. It was nice to see smiling faces. My mother and I had traveled for a lengthy period of time and you can say we were tired. But regardless five hours later we were up and headed to church. It was a nice service. Later we were escorted by the same group of people around the island on tour of this small but bigger then my own island. It was tiring. After this we went out for dinner. I now see this is just about how I would be spending quite a bit of my days from now on.
Day 2 in Saipan I moved in with my new roommate Sera. These three weeks have been great. We connect on a level spiritually like were kinda on the same walk. Though I know it’s different in a hundred different ways. She is an interesting person, like the kinda person you meet in movies. Loves black and white movies, loves life, loves awesome all about life books, and did a drastic move to a country on the other side of the world! But we’re not talking about her own person were talking about mine.
These past three weeks I’ve had to learn how to budget. Meaning I have to shop for groceries that will last, pay gas bill for the car, pay for my internet, use my own spending money it’s hectic. I don’t know how grown up, grownups do it with mortgages, and children and bigger stresses then the ones I’m going through. It’s sad but I think I’ll listen to my boyfriend when he says after we get married we wait 2.5 years before children that would be one less hassle.
So here is a list of what I’ve learned:
- · You can’t live off of bread meat and cheese. (they run out fast)
- · Cars eat money
- · Living the life of social life minus responsibility should sooo taking advantage of that when I get home
- · Things add up fast two hundred dollars can slip out your fingers like soap
- Being my own person is harder than I thought and I’m pretty sure it’s not about to get any easier
