On a similar note to What have I learned? Part 1, I wrote about what I learned in 2005 while living in Florida. Most of these kind of relate to living on my own, as 2005 was the first time. Unlike the last list, most of these don’t relate to work.
What have a learned from living on my own here in Florida?
==== Spring 2005 ====
I’ve learned that bills stink a lot. I’ve learned that I don’t need things that I want. I’ve learned there is more to life than just working (just need to figure out what that is). I’ve learned that sources of motivation change quickly while working. I’ve concluded yet again that college is expensive. I’ve learned that its different living on my own versus at college and home; especially when I’m 500 miles from the place I still call home.I’ve learned that I work too hard. I’ve learned to live with the Florida weather. I’ve learned that lots of little kids in an apartment complex is very annoying and brings strange desires to rip out their vocal cords (just kidding, from this I’ve learned why someone has invented ear plugs). I’ve learned that tv dinners are “decent” substitutes for real food.
I’ve learned the value of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I’ve learned that exercise can wake you up decently. I’ve learned that 2 cups of coffee can do wonders. I’ve learned that Walmart has some good prices. I’ve learned to charish memories of the past. I’ve learned that the TV is good for something other then starting a vegetative state in humans. I’ve learned that I can eat lots of snacks and still be hungry. I’ve learned the value of sunscreen (several times infact). Those kids… grr. I’ve learned that being called Mr. and Sir makes me feel old. What happened to being called a kid?
==== Fall 2005 ====
I’ve learned not to play music really loud with bass in the morning which can piss off your neighbors, but I wasn’t the one playing the music. I’ve learned that occasionally some people like to cause a ruckis between 2 and 3 am, and even the police know this too. I’ve learned that I like to take long walks on the beach to relax. I’ve learned what it means to miss someone, to be lonely. I’ve learned that people like to litter public beaches. I’ve learned that the beach changes a lot in just a little bit of time, yet its still a beach.
