It's almost here. I can't believe it. Tonight my family should be going to my neighbors for a little party, and then it's here. Does anybody else find Christmas day somewhat depressing. It's like you wait over a month and get into the spirit, then it's all over. It really would be nice if there were 12 days. My parents are wrapping our presents as I right this, and I'm not even tempted to look; I like the surprise. Of course all I want for Christmas is to get to Long Island as soon as possible and texting....and I only get one. But if I had to pick, the choice would be obvious.
Texting is actually looking possible, despite the fact that my dad is highly opposed to it. I should be getting some money from my band director for watching her dogs while shes gone, and that amount could be a down lump payment to my dad. Their whole point why they aren't getting it for me is that if they did, I would have nothing to work for or pay off, which makes sense I guess. So, if I pay for it upfront, it must count for something. They also went on about how I act like I'm entitled to everything, that I hate where I come from, and don't appreciate what they do do for me. This is untrue. I've asked for texting because, let's be real, who doesn't have it these days besides the elderly. I don't hate where I come from, I just don't want to live like my parents. And importantly, I do love what they do for me, they are only supportive of everything I do and they couldn't be happier for me. All I want it is the ability to live in 2009, taking part in what has become basic and taken for granted by everybody I know.
I applied at at least 14 places sunday, and I probably will not hear back from any of them. I'm going to call them and just be persistent. I can't be without a job this summer, I took the summer off from drum corps just so I could have one. If none of these look up, I'm going to look into some music camps, which I'd almost rather do. It just doesn't seem fair when my dad points out all the kids that live at home and go the community college that have had steady jobs for a while. Of course they do, they have all the time in the world, which is all the matters to employers. It sucks when I know that I would be a good employee for anyone, but because I happen to go to a 4 year school, I'm suddenly not worthy of employment. I'm beyond worried that I won't find a job this summer because of this. A paycheck is the only formula to start cutting ties with my parents. I'm getting more annoyed than they are, and they're pretty annoyed I don't have a job. I'm sick of being poor.
Happy Holidays

I'm just going to keep reminding you of this so you don't forget/get too stressed about getting a job.
The station is hiring again, to do the same thing I did last year. The hours are 8-5 Monday-Friday, with an hour for lunch and 15 minute breaks at 10 and 3. Pay is $9.00 an hour. They'll pretty much hire anyone, but tell me asap. Andi is working there this summer too.
Merry Christmas!!! I'm going to call soonish I think.
I guess your parents do have a good point with their reason for withholding texting from you. I thought it was solely just because your Dad is in the Stone Age still. It's still pretty freaking annoying for you I'm sure; the logic behind it doesn't make it any less frustrating. The only problem with their logic is your actual ascertaining of a job, since that really isn't easy. Well, it's not easy if you want to do anything other than hard manual labour for more than minimum wage. I hope all goes well with the job hunt - keep calling and you'll probably find someone to take you in for the summer.
