Sat, 22 Jul 2006 13:00:14 +0000 http://loteriachicana.net/?p=147#comment-3451 [...] El Oso complained that the blogs have been quiting down. At least our little clique of blogs. I wouldn’t know. For the most part I haven’t been reading blogs, I subscribe to about 167 rss feeds and am about ten thousand entries behind (give or take a few hundred) in my reading. I used to keep up daily with multiple newspapers, multiple blogs and multiple people in the real world. I am not keeping up with my real life friends, or even virtually by emailing them. I get emails with subject lines “please let me know you are alive” “please let me know you got this” and I almost never write back. These people are good to me, they deserve long emails, they deserve phone calls, they deserve visits. And so, I put off writing back until I can write them something long and good, which turns into me never emailing back. Charles will tell me when I am lying around feeling miserable for myself, why don’t you call so-so or go email fulana, or go hang out with fulanos. But I can’t because I am feeling sin ganas. What is it I am doing? I’m not sure. I talked with el Oso on the phone the other day and he said to me “I am surprised you are still in Ohio.” My thought was “I am disappointed in myself for still being in Ohio”, I feel like a failure. I am close to being done with these pre med sciences, less than a year to go. But what do I have to show for my life? I haven’t traveled recently and haven’t had the money too. I work a job that is a “just for now job”. You know the job you do until you reach your goal. I have to work while I am taking classes, and the state and federal government have cut off my financial aid because I have completed and petitioned all the credit hours needed for 150% of my degree. I work to pay for school and to live. Not anything left for fun or even basic things like a car. It sucks. I feel like a failure. At this point in my life I am just going, not going well, just going. And yet I still want so much. I want to go to med school. I want to have a car that doesn’t need repairs and whose insurance I can afford. I want to afford to pay rent on my own place—really I would like to buy my own place but that is SOOOOO not going to happen anytime soon. I want to start a family. I really want to start a family. I want to be a mother. What am I still doing in Ohio? Finishing these damn sciences. Almost finished. So close. Then what? I don’t know. Right now though I need to find an apartment and get paid more so I can afford it and buy a car.
