home sweet home? -- 2002-12-13 Home in Newfoundland! Spent the day in the plane yesterday (god, what a long flight - left at 12:50 a.m. Calgary time, arrived 2:30 p.m. Newfoundland time, so almost 12 hours!) and got back into the house I grew up in. I spent less than 2 weeks here last Christmas, and now I'm back for good. My bedroom seems so small. My bed is tiny. Even in Calgary I had a double sized futon, and now I'm back to a single. It's bad. Of course I've got to get used to living with a 20 year old male. It's also challenging. A lot of metal music at all hours. Right next to my bedroom. And Adam is very hard to negotiate with. This will take some getting used to. He's been used to living as an only child per se, and now I'm back in the picture. I don't know how long I will be here, but he's going to have to get used to compromise. It's only my first day here, so I am feeling major stress and strain. I feel closed in already, and last night I felt so panicky. I mean, it is better than Calgary, but how long am I going to be here? Living at home with my parents? I want to get out so badly, but I just can't afford it until I get a job here. And I have to get a job. I must. They say it's hard in St. John's, but I don't care. I'll pound down the pavement. I have to.
