I fixed most of my problems that I was complaining about last post. I went to the mechanic last week and they said it was my rotaters that were grinding and it would be about $360 to fix. I was pissed. I has just had it looked at at the same mechanic less than a month prior and had them specifically look at the brakes which they told me nothing was wrong with them. I cried when he told me how much it cost being as a month ago I just had my ball joints replaced and it was about a $550 repair. My car is sucking the cash right out of me. As if I was made of cash. Anyway... the mechanic told me that whoever looked at my brakes would have to be "blind" to not know that my brakes were going bad. I told him I had taken it there but to no avail. I told him I would call him back just about the time I was breaking down in tearing again. After thinking about it and talking about it with my mom I decided that I would have to get it fixed but there was no helluva way that I was going to give them more money when they missed something I had asked about the first time! Did you follow that? Well, they called back like 10 minutes later full of apologies. I guess the main mechanic looked up my file and found that I hadn't even put 600 miles on my car since I was last in. Also, he hadn't personally looked at my car the last time and said he'd fix it all for free. I would just have to pay for parts. It ended up being about $120 all together instead of $360, which is alot more doable. I also got my glasses fixed which makes me thrilled it was rough wearing my contacts all day, or trying to fumble my way around the house blind. Literally, I would rather close my eyes and be in the dark then try to see without my glasses.
In other news I'm driving to NJ tomorrow and I couldn't be more excited. I've been packing for awhile but I feel like I just don't have anything to wear. I feel like such a girl. I hope this vacation isn't too overly expensive, but I want to have fun at the same time, I just can't use all of my money because Ben and I are going on our road trip a week after I get home. I'm very excited about all of these vacations that I've been planning forever, but at the same time I'm worried because I'm losing good weeks of job hunting. I don't know what I'm going to do about that. I guess my last resort is just subbing and having a crappy part-time job to fill in the money gaps. My other plan c (teaching English in S Korea) has been put on hold due to stuff going on in North Korea, no thank you. Time will tell what happens.
This week was a pretty good week. I had quite a bit of down time, which bummed me out because I need the money. It was a good chance to catch up on resumes and do some much needed errands. I also got to go shopping with Malz. We haven't had one-on-one girl time in forever! Then, I hung with my sis for awhile, then Amanda, Mary, Malz & I meet a Hoops for dinner. It was good times. I'm going shopping with my sister tonight for acessories. She bought this really nice shirtdress yesterday and is in desperate need for shoes. I would let her borrow mine, but cheap shoes strecth and then don't go back. Then they'll be too big for me to wear. The dress looks really good on her and actually makes her look her age, not someone who trying to hold on to 19 in the 90s. This is my last entry for a week or so, I'll see you all when I get back from NJ and NYC!
