Yesterday, as I drove from Council Bluffs back to Sioux City, I had a revelation. Ok, maybe thats not the right word... but I really want to write a book. Nothing ficticious, but something true.
While in Chile/Peru this past summer, I was chosen to write a book about what not to wear whilst travelling. It could be a great reference book... for both travellers and fashionistas.
But then I thought about writing a book about my quest for love. Sure, sounds stupid, but I started writing it (sort of) last night. Of course, it will suck and never go anywhere, but I just had to start writing. Its like FULL of my feelings and emotions... not like anyone will ever read it. But still...
OK...
Anyway...
I am not sure if I really like my job at Sears. Sometimes I feel like my boss thinks I'm stupid or unqualified. Then why did he give me the job? I dunno... I freaking hope I get more hours/week soon, because I can't live on 14 hours/week. My last paycheck is already gone. It was such a small paycheck, too. Really blows ass, dude. Another paycheck like that will not cover rent + utilities at all - which is the pure reason for the job. I'm going to be strapped for cash this year - my parents are unable to help me out, too, which sucks. And I need my financial aid refigured because I *hopefully* will qualify for more loans/grants/etc. because of the family situation. But no word on that yet...
Kim moves in today - I'm excited to have her move in. now when I'm bored, I can just chill with her... or watch TV in the living room. I think its going to be a lot of fun to live off campus, but I know that I'm going to really be poor if gas prices don't go down. I can't afford to fill up my car with it at $2.45 - my dad filled up less than a half tank, and it was $25. That means my car will be like $50 to fill up... unless prices go up more. And I don't have the option of taking public transportation, cuz it only runs in SC until 6pm, which doesn't help me out. And no buses go from near my house to M'side. So that really blows.
I may have to take out an extra school loan just to help me out with money this year.
Stupid economy. Stupid oil. Stupid president.
And what is up with that dude (head of the Christian Coalition - 700 Club guy) speaking ill of the Venezuelan president? Man... you shouldn't publicly state that we should assassinate anyone... except Osama, Saddam, and maybe Fidel. People who are actually imminent threats to us...
Anyway, I am SO ready for classes to begin. 6 more frickin days. GOD.
