So I just moved to a new apt that is attached to a mansion in which I am employed as maid/housekeeper/cook. I am currently thinking that my position and responsibilities are kind of reminding me of slavery. I get paid 20$ a day to do a crazy crazy crazy amount of work…but something is better than nothing at this point and my goal is to raise enough money to get Craig over here and to get back to school. In the servant’s quarters that I’ve moved there is currently: NO INTERNET, NO CABLE and THERE IS NO WAY TO ENTERTAIN ONESELF outside of cooking and leisurely cleaning. I’ve been listening to the radio and trying to find ways to pass the time while I’m on break from working or on the weekends which I have off. So, My new goals to keep myself from going crazy of Boredom in my new place are to….

a) watch every single movie from Louie my housemates collection in which I already haven’t

b) start to read books again

c) practice my violin on my own and perfect my individual solo skills by teaching myself new songs from various orchestral song books I have laying around.

d)try to get on the computer that Louie says I can barrow

e)Walking Chip (Louie’s dog)

f) By trying to get Louie to play board games with me.

g) to take up knitting

h) To take up painting

i) to start writing a series of memoirs…

j) to write down in a notebook stories and things that I’d like to blog about.

k) To get out and walk around more…or to exercise by picking up bike riding and running again…Louie says I can barrow his extra bike sometimes.

L)my actually learning something new by picking up a book at the the public library and teaching myself something (maybe a new language)

m) maybe learn the constellations

n) walking…I can pick up photo walks.

o) I can practice my baking more…I can cook but my baking could use some work.

p) I could finish writing my musical

q) I could socialize and invite people over to my new place to watch movies

r) I could pick up drawing

s) I could pick up sewing

t) I could start planting things in pots and talking to them everyday

u) Get myself acquainted with current events by reading and following the newspaper

v) I could take up a dance class and practice while I’m free

w) I could try to find another part time job to fill the rest of my day

x)I could sit around feeling sorry for myself and telling myself how bored I am… *sigh…I am so bored…sigh*

y) I could organize my room in different ways…to entertain myself and fill my time

z) I could start building things.
