Free Time

I wrote in my last post about the fact that I might not have a lot of free time to myself if I do manage to make it onto the supervisor course for my job. I have the weekend off of work and so far i'm not making good use of my time off. I did manage to go into town and trade in some of the games that I wasn't playing anymore, there were a lot of them, I managed to make about £70 off of them, it all went into my Game card so at least I can't spend it on something other than a game. I know I need to use my money more efficiently now that i'm saving. Saving for what I still don't know!

When I was in town I also bought some things which I guess can be considered to be very adult purchases. I bought face cloths! Apart from the usual toiletries like deodorant and toothbrushes and the like, i've never really bought much of my own things for the home. I've never bought pillows or furniture or anything like that. I guess now that I have the money i'm thinking about the things that might actually make me more comfortable at home, the essential things that most functioning adults might buy on a regular basis, we all know i'm far from being considered fully functioning adult though, that's a well established fact. 

I have a sad existence if i'm so proud about buying face cloths, like it's some major accomplishment in life. To be honest I don't buy much apart from games and books, maybe clothes the odd time. I should definitely start taking a look and see what things i've been missing out on buying and see if I can brighten my room and life up a bit, it definitely needs something more. My room still does look like a teenager lives in it. 

I wonder what my first apartment will look like if I ever move out of my parents house. Hahahahahahahaha, me move out? Honestly though I do wonder what kind of place I could see myself living in. I guess i'd want to live somewhere relatively spacious with all of the traditional amenities. I don't want to live somewhere where I have to share living space, utilities or a kitchen with other apartments like you might see in university dorms. I wonder if I could have actually managed to survive on my own in a place like that? You hear stories and see it on TV all the time, the college/university dorm life. Is that something I could ever do? Is it too late for me to experience that? I know I can still go to university but would I ever go and life on campus in a place like that? I really don't know. I guess it could still happen.

I know I would definitely like some roommates if I moved out. Sure you can do whatever you want if you live alone but I know that I would lonely far too easily if I just lived by myself. I know I would want to live with at least one or two other people.

I've definitely lived a sheltered life if i'm thinking about these kinds of things for the first time. I've been spoiled for far too long if I haven't experienced these kinds of things for myself. What other things have I been missing out on? I know for definite that I don't consider myself an adult just yet, I may be getting there somewhat but I still have a long way to go before I can considered to be independent.

I definitely want to be able to drive. Driving sort of just went to the back of my mind after I failed my dring test a few times. I guess at the time I didn't really need to be able to drive. I do now though, it would greatly benefit my life in a lot of ways. I really want to just take a drive along the coast or even just take a drive though the parts of Belfast i've never been to before, I still feel like I know my city at all. There are tourists who've probably seen more of my city than I have and I live here for god's sake!
