The Official Adam Pascal Love Thread, part ten — Page 173

Yes, Ashley, and I'm really excited about it.

Lexi, it's not quite a factory, but singing At the End of the Day could also help you.

The people in my dad's office keep talking about the humidity and how stuffy it is. I don't feel it at all, anything is better than that factory.

I was just thinking as I was making my lunch about how much time I spend at work and how little time I have to myself, and then I got depressed wondering if this is what the rest of my life is going to be. I know I'll be in a job I care about, but I'm not sure I'm ready to work, as much as I want to be on my own again. I think that part about growing-up has led to my attachment to my night-light. I'm just not completely reading to be a grown-up.

Hee, Sarah, I liked telling you to sing that song because of the reference to the foreman. I suppose my boss is a foreman of sorts, though, heh.

I don't feel as if I'm ready to be a true adult, either. I suppose that's what college is for, but I'm always so worried that I'll end up in a job that I dislike as much as my current one. I've always thought my true passion lies in writing, but I'd be so worried that I wouldn't get a job I truly enjoy if I were to pursue journalism.

the girl my age who will not stop telling me about the supposed stupidity of my decision to go to NYU

Heh. Where is she going?

As long as I'm tired enough, I can fall asleep in most environmental conditions. Lights on, lights off, music playing, people talking- but I HAVE to be lying on my stomach.

Lord. In 4 years when you graduate and get hired at a job with a starting salary of $60,000 and she's still working at Starbucks, you can go home and throw it in her face.

Sorry I didn't see your reply yesterday, Sarah - I'm glad that you're excited about school. And I totally, totally relate about being kind of scared of the real world, but I'm sure that it will end up working out. I think you're so much better off because you know what kind of work will make you happy, and it seems like that's a lot of the battle.

Hee, if only, Lexi! We sound like such freaks based on that, though.

The scientific aspects of sleep are so interesting, Chloe. My school doesn't really do research on it, but I've considered maybe applying to neuroscience programs that research sleep and biological rhythms. I'm so indecisive.

I really cannot stop playing the song that Adam wrote for Cybele. I'm worried I'm going to end up overplaying it.

He needs to come back NOW.

I'm curious as to what specifically you guys dread about it. I don't remember feeling dread, exactly, more like a disinclination to think about it at all. I'm really lucky to have ended up doing something I love, since I had zero plans for the future while I was going to college.

I don't exactly dread it. I've lived away from home for three years so I know how to deal with bills and keeping up a house. I think it's just the fact that you're no longer a kid. I felt it more when I turned 20, right now it's just been a summer of crappy jobs and maybe due to sleep deprivation I'm afraid that's how the rest of my life will be, even though I really know it's not.

I really want to be out on my own in my own apartment and have my own family. I'm not really sure what it is I'm going to miss about being a kid, I think a lot of it is Mom and Dad can't bail me out anymore, and I have to start relying on myself more.

Thanks Chloe. Love your new avatar btw

Thanks for the advice, Chloe. For whatever reason, I've been thinking that I'd enjoy sociology a lot lately. Also, I love that you described your avatar as "up to date."
