So last night I was going to bed after finishing my paper for class today and I decided to check Blackboard real quick to see when my assignment for PSY was due and saw that my prof. posted a note that class was cancelled today. WOOHOO! lol I woulda been so pissed if I drove all the way there, especially because I have an hour break so I would have had to wait like 2 hours for my next class. (Although I prolly would have driven all the way home and then back again which would have wasted an hour of my time and my gas.) Not to mention having to walk up the monstrous hill for no reason.
So I keep trying to call this guy at Middleton Jail to set up a visit for me and 11 of my classmates (haha that word sounds silly today.. maybe it's just me) and he's ignoring my phone calls... gutta love that right. Esp. because our final is to write a paper about this visit and I can't even set it up. Excellent... So I called my pal Mike who's going to call Matt b/c Matt knows him? Or something like that. I don't care how it gets done, as long as it gets done... Cuz I've been put in the situation of not only worrying about my final, but the finals of 11 other people. Lesson: Never volunteer again. I only did because when the prof. got our group together everyone was sitting there chatting about unrelated topics so I took charge... plus, I'm a lil weary about counting on other people... But I myself can't get this done, so I guess I shoulda let someone else deal with it so at least I could blame them instead of myself lol.
Also, I had a brilliant idea. I have to give a speech next week and for the life of me could not figure out a topic. It's has to be persuasive and blah blah blah. Well, I decided seeing as I JUST wrote a paper last evening about why capital punishment is not a deterrent to crime and have all these facts about it why not reuse all this information for my speech? Good idea.
I'm actually quite proud of my paper. I sound so smart. Here's my dramatic ending that I shared with Dana last night (well actually it was morning but whatever...) "Capital punishment is not a deterrent to crime, it is revenge, and an eye for an eye leaves everyone blind." hahahah
I was in such a shitty mood all day yesterday for no real reason... but then when I wrote my paper it made me be in a better mood (couldn't tell you why usually I'm 2x as muiserable...) and somehow that mood carried over to today and everything's just silly. It makes no sense at all, but for the majority of the month I've been unhappy and today I just am for no reason and I like it.
I'm still pretty stressed out about the $$ situation but money comes and money goes so hopefully it will work itself out. I have $10 to last me about 2 weeks cuz my whole paycheck on Friday is going to car ins (which is probably not even enough money) and I'll need to buy gas at some point. So this is just not good. There are four paychecks btwn now and Xmas... one is all going to insurance as mentioned above, I will likely have to borrow $ from my mom to cover whatever this weeks paycheck doesn't, so the week after I will be paying Mom back, and the following week is my phone bill week, and the week after that I can finally buy Xmas presents.... lemme tell you the date of the paycheck that I can buy presents with..... ready for this?? DECEMBER 24TH. Gutta love that.... It's gunna be realllll tight this year.
However, all of this has taught me a big BIG lesson. Summer $$ will be HALF saved and HALF given to car insurance so that my bills during the school year are cheaper. Because I saved a shit load of $$ so that I could pay my insurance straight from savings so that way I could work less if work was interfering with school. However, $600 of that savings (3 months worth of ins bills) went to fixing my muffler (in Sept.) and to fixing my brakes. And I had to spend $200 to pay for an eye appt and to buy contacts cuz my mom decided she does not pay my medical bills anymore. So if all this other shit hadn't happened, I would still have $800 and would be able to afford my bill and to go Xmas shopping however.... Life threw me a few curveballs and messed my plan up.
This is an extremely long entry about nothing. And I better get my ass in the shower or I'll be late for my debate. That rhymes.
The End.
