~Loner On The Loose~

They say we’re born into this world alone. After we have “lived” we die alone. My question is are we actually suppose to “live” amongst others or are we capable of “living” alone?

Today has been a day for me. It all stems from last night. After I got off of work. I had went outside to go home. So I try to crank up the car, but it was a no go! So I sit there for a moment and then I give it another try. Still nothing….Turn after turn, grunt after sigh, and still nothing. Thoughts run through my head….well maybe my batteries dead. I look around and all my co-workers are gone for the evening and its headed on 11p.m. I’m up here in a city where I still barely know anyone….well I don’t know anyone well enough to call them to come get me. After I call home, my mom tells me to find some way to jump it. Granted I’m not an auto mechanic and never was introduced to cars…as i feel I should have been taught.

Finally someone drives-by and I pull them over and they give me a jump. Well the car still wouldn’t crank. We tried it three more times…still nothing! I thank him and then he drives off. So its not the battery maybe?? After a while, I just say screw it and I start my walk home. Securing all my belongings in the car and taking off with a face that is just disgusted. Me and L start texting and she eventually becomes worried. I call her to calm her down and I embark on my walk home.

I’ll say about a third of the way L has to go so I have to continue this long walk home alone. Now on a side note from the “story” but I find walking to be very theraputic. I really enjoyed the hour and a half walk home. I make it in the door and its now about 12p.m. and some change. I hadn’t ate at all yesterday and the first day of classes is the following day at 8 a.m. Man what a night that was….

Which those same problems rolled into today!

The fact that I didn’t make it to bed last night until 3a.m. kinda led to my being late for my 8 o’clock class. After sitting through that class and mingling amongst my classmates things seemed to be looking up. At 9:30 I was scheduled to be in American Government. I mossy on over there to get a seat. To my suprise the classroom is PACKED!!!! I mean it was loaded with students. So I had to grab an available seat in the front. Because of the Dean and mistakes made in the office, the classroom was stocked with 3 different classes. IT was quite comical at the time.

My class ended up moving down a floor and all those who thought they had a seat were dispersed and forced to relocate in to a new flock of chairs. That class ended abruptly due to the fire alarms going off. Forcing all the students to evacute from the building….. So after that I got a good laugh when walking outside and went on to work. I went over to chit-chat with my boss and she gave me some info. on how to get my car fixed and all that good stuff.

11 o’clock rolled around pretty quickly and it was time for my last class of the day (World Literature). To say the least the class was interesting. This year in a wrap is how I expected classes to be my Freshman year. With the big classrooms, the passionate teachers, and subjects of interest.

I was initially scheduled to work today but I had to call out to go check on my car. Found out that it was the alternator that is causing the issue. SO I have to find an Auto Zone and see about getting that fixed. Lets not forget that I had to take a round trip of about 3 hours to get back home. Seeing as some “friends” didn’t want to come get me. I know right! The thing that got me though was that I was in need. Not some simple shit…but was really needing a ride back home. But after that act it just solidified the fact that I don’t need friends. I’ll be just as content in life if I have associates and my family. So that is where the title and the opening question comes from. That is my little spill. Now I’m getting ready to look up the bus schedule because I have to be at work tomorrow at 9 a.m.
