I've been really active in the Livejournal communities lately, but I
haven't been making many journal entries. I guess I don't really have
much to say.
But there must be something
interesting going on in my life...nah. I can't stand this cold! I
stayed up late last night watching TV. The setback on the thermostat
kicks in at about 10pm when the setting drops to 64 degrees. But the
thermostat is upstairs, and the temperature downstairs - where the TV
is - dropped a lot faster. By the time I went to bed at around 2, it
must have been nearly 50 degrees downstairs, but it was something like
66 upstairs. At least it's a lot warmer tonight...a balmy 13 degrees
outside. Last night it was around 0.
So I'm not in class now. I still don't have my loan from last semester.
I've got the approval letter, but I still don't have the fucking money.
So not only do I have a stop on my record preventing me from
registering, but also haven't been able to get another loan for this
semester yet. Fortunately, most of the courses I take are these weird
half-semester "modules" instead of a full semester...so if I get this
cleared up in time, maybe I can register for module B. But it ticks me
off. My parents are going to be pissed, and I'm going to have to wait
longer to get my degree. I don't want to still be in school this summer
and I definitely don't want
to be doing this in the fall. An MBA should be a two year degree,
that's it. So I've figured out what I'm going to do. I'll try to get
this cleared up in time for module B, and in the meantime I'll start
looking for a full time job. If I get one, I won't have to worry about
this anymore because I'll start doing school part time. In the
meantime, I'm still working p/t at the career center on campus so even
if I'm not in class at least I'm not being a bum.
I feel like my social life is stalled. Most of my closest friends live
in other states and it's so rare that I meet new people. It almost
seems like a miracle that I bumped into Fire Angel online. I have a
good time with my local friends, but there just don't seem to be enough
of them. Is this what getting older means? Whatever people are in your
life now, that's it, don't expect any more?
