It's been a strange few weeks. It's been years since I stayed anywhere for this long. Kim has an apartment he's letting me stay in even though he owns a house. I didn't ask. I guess I live in Tallahassee now.
I did not see that coming.
Kim frequently mentions being Italian as a reason why he's saying or doing something. It throws me off when someone is into their heritage. Maybe it doesn't make sense to me because I don't have any.
Besides talking a lot about Italian stuff, Kim just talks a lot. He seems like a character from a movie more than a real person sometimes. There are a lot of people in the biz that love the sound of their own voice, but this guy never stops. We'll have an hour long "conversation" and then I realize I never said a word, it was all him.
I was worried about working at the school but I like it. There are only a couple guys training that are serious. I work with them some but Kim's nephew, Evan trains them. Every few days someone new shows up, pays $1500, and then quits after a couple hours when I run with them and then do some squats. Most of them never even make it in the ring.
I wish I had $1500 to throw away like that.
Bonus, I'm getting in the best shape I've been in chasing them off. I don't know what to do with myself when I'm not at the school, so I hang out there a lot. Either I work with Evan or by myself. I almost feel bad for getting paid. But I don't get paid much, so I can live with it. Evan tells me I need to learn how to relax.
Maybe that's true, but how do I go about it? Whenever I get back to Kim's apartment, I drink a couple tall boys and then just stand around. I used to listen to a lot of audio books and podcasts while I was driving but I don't like that when I'm just sitting there doing nothing. I used to watch shows on my phone at night, but now that I have access to TV I don't want to.
Everything feels off.
I should be practicing my magic, but for the first time I'm worried about getting found out. I'm paranoid about Kim or Even walking in on me and thinking I'm crazy. My shield has always been that no one will think I can really do magic, they'll just think I'm nuts. But I don't want Kim and Evan to think I'm nuts.
I've never cared about anyone's opinion before. I don't love it.
