if it makes you feel better

Yeah. In middle school at break I would literally just stand there or pace back and forth as I had idea what to do in that situation.

did your parents expect you to not leave the house? O.o

Nope, should be out of there in the next week or so, sleeping at my apartment come tomorrow.

but they seem to have raised you in a way thats pathetically inadequate for life O.o

Yep.

My usual advice is to not go home at all for at least 3 months, but considering you're only moving a mile down the road that might not be practical.

That is just a mite bit of a problem.

This should be fun.
