For my summer
It's been more than a month since I've updated this thing. As much as I'd like to get a personal site for a journal, I suppose it wise to stay with livejournal instead. I clearly don't update much, plus it's free!
The last month or so has had its ups and downs. The ups mainly is that I'm off school. So it's nice to have some free time to myself and to hang out with friends. I haven't come close to my goals for the summer which were to read at least five books, clean out my closet (as in donate half its items), and to take up drawing or some form of productive hobby. But my summer is not over yet! So far I've only read one book and am currently in the middle of another one. I sort of cleaned my closet. Every time I try, I talk myself into keeping most of my stuff "in case I need it some unforeseen day." I did pick up my sketchbook once along with a how-to-draw guide. But I stopped at the first page because it says I'm missing some things like a good drawing pencil and other gadgets.
What I've been doing lately is work and WoW...a lot of it. I asked to work only twenty hours, yet they give me almost thirty hours a week. I didn't protest because I figured I do need the money since I have to pay for my traffic ticket, traffic school, and school. The game thing started because I wanted to play with Diana. But now I'm also into my warlock. Anyway, enough of that. Really the only down thing is just some financial problems as usual. In some ways I'm lucky because I don't have to pay rent among other things. But I'm starting to worry since I'll have to start paying for more things. The new landlord here is raising the rent, by $800 within only two months! So my mom and Rey are looking for a house. If we're not lucky in that department, we'll definitely move out into another apartment, most likely a smaller one. So my mom keeps telling me that I'll need to pay for so and so now. And once I'm done with school in December, I'll need to help out with paying for a house. A house! It's one thing to pay for an apartment that's all to myself or pay my mom rent. But I guess it feels like I'm soon to be responsible for paying for a house that won't exactly be mine.
I'm not mad at her, I just feel a bit unfortunate in the money department. It seems like everyone else is able to start their own lives. And I don't feel like I can do that just yet. Well, that was a long and unanticipated rant, but I just had to. But enough of that as well. I'll save the rest for another entry So far the summer was still good. I've got only one week left to enjoy it. And on Friday, we're going to see Muse in concert! So I have that to look forward to.
