Well, classmates, this is the fifth week of the course and the final week for required posting on this blog. In a sense, it is an ending of sorts, but I have another class coming up for the next five weeks so I continue on. Likely I will convert this blog into a more personal one after some time as I have found the writing to be something theraputic. We shall see.
The idea of conclusions has abounded in other areas of life. I mentioned before a relationship that was failing and really, at this point, it has failed. I ceased to try and keep communication efforts going. I am saddened by this, but it is necessary for my own health and well being. There has been a little bit of effort from his side of things, but it is not enough. On to better and happier times!
Another conclusion is that of my former household. My last roommate moved and I believed, in error, that he was leaving on good terms. He waited just long enough to get his tax return, buy a new truck and move out-but he failed to pay up on his utilities! He was behind by a month, the current month is now behind and today I paid out over $500 for his past due bills and over $400 for the other roommate's past due bills. I am highly, but HIGHLY ticked off about this. I gave him almost a week to respond to phone calls, emails, text messages and facebook messages and he has chosen to ignore it all. So today I posted a detailed list of everything on his Facebook (hoping a little public humiliation would spur him to respond) then formed and mailed a certified letter of demand requesting he pay back the funds wasted on him. I sent the same letter to the other roommate, too, figuring might as well get her portion paid back and I am giving them 10 days to respond with an acceptable resolution. If they don't respond and attempt to resolve the matter, I have prepared the filing paperwork for small claims court.
I am not looking forward to this process, but I am eagerly anticipating the conclusion of the issue.
