first time living on your own?

[jeh]

from age 16-18 i absolutely hated living at home. so as a senior in hs i was working 2 part time jobs saving money and buying kitchen stuff so i could move out asap. so there were these new apartments that just opened and i got in there...i'd be at school till noon on the work release program, then work from noon to 4 at one job then 5 to 9 at my other job...then i would move stuff into my apartment all night and set things up. it was a good feeling being on my own for the first time.
