K here's the story on Chicago (or I guess this will tell a few people about Chicago)
While I was in Michigan visiting in August, my brother notifies me that he got accepted to a school in Glendale heights (Chicago Area) called UTI. He's planning to take mechanics. Well considering that my brother never payed a bill nor worked a day in his life (at that time) I decided that I would play Big Brother and move with him. Besides, it's a ride out of Omaha/Council Bluffs *shrugs* why not?
Anywho, we talked for a bit when I got back. it was decided, I was moving. I put everyone on warning roomie, work, friends, everyone... that was back in August.
Now to update on chicago.... I'll be shocked if we move:
A) I just happened to be at my mom's when I overheard a message from UTI. That f***er doesn't even have the financial aid papers filled out yet. We don't even know if he got in or not. True he was accepted, but if he can't pay for it then that doesn't do any good.
B) He has been working for about 6 weeks now, he has nothing saved. He makes $50 less than I do a week and doesn't have to pay anything at home. Granted he helps, but Jim has a job now. My brother doesn't need to help. They told us it would be about $3000 to move, minimum. That 'should' cover rent + deposit, utility deposits, moving expences, ect.... (yea right 3K is low-balling it a bit) so him and I figured we would save half a piece. (and yes to be fair, I don't have nothing yet either. but unlike him I have bills and a shitty car)
C) he needs a real drivers licence let alone a car
D) he decided that he is gonna take a week off work to travel (by car mind you) to Fort Knoks, KY for my brothers graduation from basic training. yea granted that is important, but Zak will understand if him and I don't come. By taking that week off he will get a check this friday and won't get another till Nov. 14. That means all the money he has now will be spent on the trip, the check he'll recieve while he's gone will be spent catching up, and on the 14th we'll have 4 weeks roughly to save the $3000 less what I can save (which should be $500)
So in short, if I was a betting man *cough* I would bet that we're not gonna make it. Even if by some miricle I was able to get my hands on 3K, I don't think I would pay for it. he hasn't shown any effort in going. Am I wrong?
So plan B- I really need to move from here. A few of ya know my living conditions here. There not horrible by any means. But Staci get's on my last nerve sometimes... alot more recently. It's like living with someone that has a problem, but can't admit they have it. It's everyone elses fault. Then she whines about being alone, but does nothing to help the situation. (and no, having people off the dateline that come over 'to meet her' that just wanna get laid, doesn't count as 'meeting' someone. Although she likes to argue that point) ... I can't take it here much longer. That may mean I have to stay at My-T Mart for a while longer, I can't give up what I get paid there. Besides my own place *daydreams* ..... OH! yea..... so yea that's plan B. I'll need 2K to do it. and with no real expensive bills I should do it between Febuary and May sometime.
I dunno... this is tentitive so far. First thing is first. I gotta know what my brother is doing for sure.
