I’m still working on getting some things better organized on maynotalways, mainly little things like the comments.
I can’t believe how long I slept today! I went to bed at around 4:30 a.m. My sleep schedule always gets messed up whenever I’m on a break from school. I’m going to have to start getting to bed at a decent time this week though since classes start back up Monday. I’m actually ready to go back, I absolutely hate just sitting around with nothing to do. Please though, remind me of this post in another 3 weeks when I will be constantly complaining about my classes and how much work I have to do. I finally ordered my books for the upcoming semester, and they were about $300 for four books! I can’t believe that, I mean, WHY does it cost that much for a couple of books? I’ve never sold any of my books back because number one, I’m lazy; and number two, I don’t want to get rid of something that might be a good reference book. I’m thinking of going through some of my books though and putting them up for sale.
I have some news about something (no, I’m not pregnant and no I’m not getting engaged) but I don’t want to mention anything quite yet because certain people read this (I’m looking at your Barb…Tom’s sister for those who don’t know) In about two weeks though I’ll probably be able to say something as long as everything goes as planned.
Well, I am off to search for some old textbooks I could sell to try to make some extra cash!
A new layout is up! It’s super simple, but I like it. I also took the Archives off of the sidebar and instead made a separate page for them. I think it cleans up the sidebar a lot.
Tom and I went to look at an apartment last night. We’ve been talking about moving out sometime in the next year and a half. I know that seems like a while down the road to be talking about things, but we have bills that need paid off and I need to get a job OR save up money so I can not work while I’m in school and we’re living together. It was a nice, but small apartment. I believe it was about 580 square feet, and it’s $490 a month with all utilities included. Honestly, it scares me a little bit thinking of moving out. Here, at my parents, I have everything I need basically paid for. Laundry, food, etcetera. Not to mention my mom and I are pretty close and I might miss not seeing her every day or every other day. I’m not SUPER scared / worried about this, but it’s just something that has been running through my mind.
The biggest news in my life right now, is I’m getting a new car! My current car (a 2001 Oldsmobile) gets awful gas mileage. I’m talking like 20 miles to the gallon, with me driving between 200 – 300 miles a week, that just isn’t working. Especially with gas prices rising. Oh and did I mention the other day, my car decided, while going down a hill for the ABS and traction to turn off? Causing me to lose slight control of my car, and almost going off the road. Luckily I had a hold of it, and it’s fine now for just driving around town. I still am scared to drive it up to school. Plus my brother should start driving soon, so then he could just have my old car.
I’m going to be leasing a 2008 Honda Civic. I seriously felt like I was going to have a panic attack today committing to something like that. Not to mention just a week ago I had to apply for another private student loan to get me through this school year / some of next, which is more than some people make in a year. Needless to say, it worries me being in so much debt and only 21 years old. But hey, what else can I do?
Now all I need is a name for this car. My current car’s name is Veruca. Which is from Willy Wonka and the Charlie Factory. Since Veruca is kind of a bitch, but I still love her. Which is kind of how my car is to me. Actually, I get really sad thinking about not driving it anymore. It was my first car, and I guess you could say we’ve been through a lot together. Oh if cars could talk… I finished my last 2 years of highschool with her, went to three different colleges. Shut up, I get emotional easily :)
