Song currently playing: “John Williams – Hook Theme”
The new Rafiki House is everything we expected it to be and more. The place is beautiful. Two years of protesting, rallys, and meetings have finally paid off. The house has returned to it’s previous state at last.
People are over every night, often until 1 or 2 in the morning. It’s so wonderful to spend time with such close friends again.
Lalrem has been over to the house a lot, though I’m beginning to see that she doesn’t find guys like me to her liking. She seems to gravitate towards those in the group that are a little more shady and deceitful. We’ve still been hanging out a lot, though, we play together almost every night. Her on the guitar and me on the piano; we’ll bang out songs by Weezer, Guns n’ Roses and Collective Soul.
The motorcycle is running great. It’s such a beautiful machine. It doesn’t have a license plate or insurance yet, so I’ve been riding around and around campus on it; staying away from public roads. Shifting is hard to learn, but I’ve got the hang of it really good now. I’m even getting smooth with the turn signals.
The moped runs great with it’s new spark plug, but the front tire went flat. I think I’ll have to patch it up sometimes soon. It’s going to be my main transportation in the winter.
I kinda in a bad way money wise. I just got a letter from the college saying I owe them 3,500$ for tuition by the 25th of August. It’s a lot more than I expected, and I only have half of that in the bank. I don’t know what I’m going to do about it. I don’t think my parents can help me out this year; they’re kinda hard on cash at the moment. I’m going to go down to the business office and see if I can get an extension until December. I should have enough by then.
My parents want me to come to Connecticut this weekend, it’s my sister’s birthday. I really want to go, but they don’t know the money situation yet. They want to buy me a train ticket to come. I’m going to call them tonight.
I must get back to work.
