General Update
Looking back at this past summer, it's been a bumpy ride to say the least.
Personally I have fallen out of touch with a number of people for quite a few reasons.
Can't say I'm dissapointed... but it makes you think how things could be different.
Based on those around me... it's what I expected. The overall feeling is that things got worse rather then better, but they still progressed. Do I prefer the position I am in now to the one I was in 3 or 4 months ago? Well, that is dependant on a lot of things, but overall, I am content. I know I would make the same choices if I had those options again regardless, so I have no regrets about that. Perhaps I regret not knowning what I know now back then, but seeing how that is impossible, it doesn't phase me.
I still don't know what I'm going to do once I graduate in about a year. I honestly think my best bet will be try try and go full time at my current job, just for the benefits and free tuition. Grad school would be really nice, but there is no way I could afford it without going full time here, or joining the army. Obviously the latter is not my first choice, but I am still keeping it open if all else fails.
I'm still not getting paid enough. I thought my bills would be done when I last paid them off... I had $50 on my bill for next month, and that seemed the change pretty fast. I put another $140 on it for parts for the brono. Yea, my dad is supposed to pay me for it, but who knows when I'll get that. My last paycheck (and bank account) is gone from the last bill, so the charge card is all I have left for the next two weeks. I figure I'll need 2 tanks of gas (another $100), then I owe another $85 in a week for a train monthly pass, and another $100 to my dad for car insurance and the cell bill. I'll be devious and tell him to take $100 off what he owes me, but that still puts me $40 down. So my $50 bill for next month turned into... ($50 + $140 + $100 + $85 = ) $375. Wonderful. Thats almost another paycheck gone, and another two weeks before I work on the Corrado. I don't want to part it out and get rid of it.. I would get about 1/10th of what I paid for it. But once school starts, I know nothing will happen with it till next summer.
SO yea, some things suck, but I'm not going to let it get me down.
I would say that I hope things come together in the long run, but I don't hope. I do.
