SO relieved. just found out i'll be getting about $2,500 back after tuition deductions in financial aid, including work study money available. i'll also be able to work part time for my mom, making only about $200 a month from her, but that still leaves me with about $700 a month this semester. which also means i can quit my bullshit job at the company store which i fucking hate. for work study, i'll probably end up either helping a professor or doing some sort of office work, and i know they try to work around students' schedules, so it won't be as difficult to balance school and work without having a car for awhile. just the though of having to go to school and work and everything else without a car is dreadful, but if i'm working at school it's not so bad. plus, uncle bob said he'd help me pay for a car... now i just have to convince the bastard father to cosign for me.
right now, dylan and i are packing up our things for our move to the new place. i'm excited, but pissed at work for not giving me the day i move off even though i requested it off about a month and a half ago. i'll probably end up just calling in, but now that i know i'm set for the year, i'm not so worried. i just feel as though a huge weight has been lifted from my shoulders, and knowing that i'll only have to sell bedding for a few more weeks is wonderful. i can't wait for school to start again.
last saturday night was kat's golden birthday, and everything was completely awesome. tons of people showed up, there was a gigantic pool of wop, and much love ensued. only thing that sucked was a certain drunken someone who suddenly dropped his normally cheerful persona and became a huge asshole to people, including sam and myself. he told me to punch him, so i did, and i felt justified. i don't know him that well, but i'd always thought he was cool until then, and it kind of puts a dark haze over the already foggy memories of the night. other than that, i had an awesome time, met a cool girl named jenny who i might hang out with sometime, and got lots of love from my boy.
for now, back to cleaning and my bottle of pink lemonade. maybe more gawking at the street outside, which is completely immersed in water right now.
kat and jake,
birthdays
