Inner Sanctum

Im 19...never planned to live this long...i used to think that at 17 perhaps i would be having a close encounter with God. Its suddenly dawning upon me that i am slowly slwoly entering that dreaded realm of adulthood. Ive always considered myself a man not a boy, now im starting to carry the burdens of manhood.

To be more down to earth, i need a car and im repeating a year. This means that whetehr i like it or not i need to work. My parents arent going to sustain me indefinitely. I dont have some back breaking work, i just teach english to foreign students, three hours a day in Gzira. It isnt the work itself that bugs me but the fact that it doesnt just limit three hours of my day but many more. It takes me twenty minutes to get there and my father usually takes me there before. This means that i have to wake up early, and unlike other early wakings i am the teacher...this means i cant go asleep to a lesson and gently cruise into full consciousness at around 12 pm as i used to do at school. I have a responsibility, 12 students are paying me to improve their english..it would be dishonest for me not to try my utmost (without making the lesson boring) to teach them something even if all that is acquired is some more confidence with the language. Apart from this im trying to earn all the money i can and this means that any extra job coming my way i am taking it. This however means that my time is greatly limited by the time i spend actually working, the time i take to get there and back and the time i need to rest early or to rest after since id be drained. Apart from this there are my responsibilities in community, God is blessing me with many duties and i am happy, but my time and my energy is limited and i am running out. Apart from this i am going out with charlene. Had i been single the problem wouldnt have been that bad as i alone carry the brunt of the consequences of my actions, but i am not. If i want this relationship to work out, and i do, i have to spend time with her and this means i have less and less time.

This i feel is the introduction to the adult world, things wont get much better, im not illuding myself. I just feel a bit stretched at the moment and i felt like sharing it with...erm basically myself.

Lol

Anyways after feeling all adult i was getting a break down so i decided to do something profoundly stupid as the title suggests, i decided to cut my hair with the shaver that i bought from gibraltar. Well it was all going ok until the clip flew and i sahved my hair on 0, lol, anyways after a few attempts i decided i needed a barber. I went out into bugibba and found 2 barber shops closed, one doesnt open mondays the other was closed for that week...just my freakin luck...im already looking like a circus freak...children fleeing the site of my uncapped head and now all i need is the uncooperation of these damn lazy barbers.

Phone in hand...dial number by heart, Hey there char..erm i had an accided *laughing in the background* Omg what did u do....i tell her my story. Shes like i know a place, she phones a couple of minutes later and says Youve got an appointment at 5.

We go there and.....and.....(drum roll).......the hairdresser starts laughing at me and tells me how we made her day. Just my luck. Hairdresser consults my Lord and Lady/Manager/Dictator/Girlfriend Charlene and they decide to go for a shave with the machine. the results you can judge for yourself.

Anyways im off

Good night and Good luck

Love you all, even you pains in the ass:P
