so i might bail on Chicago early..my lease is until october, i definitely planned on leaving then...but, my recent unemployment has humbled me in any further life decisions, as well as affecting my possible stay here.
basically i think i have a way out of my place, and a person to put in that is friends with all my roomates that needs a place asap..
i'm not jumping to this idea as THE solution for the problems, however my resources are completely tapped and if something doesn't come around soon for me..i will be in a worse situation in a month here if i hadn't possibly left..
i was thinking i might move back home, to Detroit..maybe back in with my mom. probably not alhough it might be nice for a bit...but i might just try to keep her out of it....i'm a big boy now so i will probably sleep on some couches until i find a place or get one with one of my friends..
aside from all that..i have other things to consider in this situation that are also affecting me..like school..my family...Chicago's not the greatest place for community college or whatever...UIC doesn't really appeal to me either..i can do it cheaper and easier in Detroit.
i knew this, yet felt i had to leave and make waves somewhere else..but it seems that this might not be the most approriate time to be degree-less and job-less and friend-less....
in the meantime i am still looking and sending out my resume and not tweeking over it all...but it feels like i might just go, no matter what.

Hey, would going back to recharge with the family be such a bad idea? Seems like you can be a big boy and still accept Mom's kindness. God knows I would, if she was around. Chicago is a brutal place to try making waves in, unless you fall into the lake. And in the lake, just as in the city, other waves can cover you up fast.
