So, I’m on my way back form North Carolina…. I think it was quite a successful trip. There was a really great house for all of us to share, a bunch of issues were brought up and settled as they can get before we’re all in the house together. I think that this will be an interesting situation to say the least.
It’s like a different world down here…. my cousin’s wife believes in creationism. What the fuck? I mean really. And that seems really commonplace down here/there/whatever. I spoke to the realtor and she told me that it really depends on the school. My cousin and his wife thought it odd that I would rather move then have my child taught that god created the world. Separation of church and state people! Hello! I may be just a little crazy about that, but I really care about my child’s education. And I don’t want her taught mythology, I want her taught science. My cousin and his wife didn’t even know what their children were being taught. She also doesn’t think humans are animals. Is this the way most Americans live? In the dim, dull “light”?
I think I’ll just have to go to school to make some educated friends. As it stands now, I’ll be the most educated out of the group. And that is scary, because I only have a year and a half of college under my belt. I really need to decide what to go for and just get my ass moving. I feel like if I get an education, we can move to a slightly more expensive area of the state, maybe by NC State or something, where the school system must be better because the professors want their children to have a decent education.
I have no idea yet what the nightlife in this area consists of, other then drinking and going to strip clubs. That was all I noticed down here. There isn’t much culture down here, but if you look, you can find ballet or orchestras anywhere. Hell, I hope to find a color guard to help out with, and while it’s not fine arts, it’s something. I’m sure I can find an artist’s colony somewhere.
I’m going to put the computer away for now; I may be able to write more later….
So, we’ve all been talking, and agree we don’t necessarily agree with what my cousin does and believes in, but hey, we’re not going to be living with him. And I just found out his wife is a Jehovah’s Witness. Oh boy. She without any sense of religion, living so closely to someone who has probably annoyed others into religion… yeay.
This should be an interesting life experience. I think it should be interesting, having the upper hand. Living with my brother. Living with a family friend who has always treated me as a little sister. He’ll be the one walking on egg shells…. I enjoy this concept. My brother told me not to mess with him about it. I told him I just wanted the upper hand. If he knew that I left him once and he’s still on probation, I don’t know what my brother would think. Especially if he knew the whole story.
Only time will tell kiddies, only time will tell…
