The Faint x3
Well, I'm home, and I'm going to do my best to be positive about that. The financial aid office at my old school is driving me up a tree. The lady is never in her office, and she completely misunderstood the message I left her. x__x Yes, I know how to access the FSA website! But that doesn't do me much good if I can't complete the online exit counseling since that feature is unavailable every time I try to use it. Rawrr.
It was nice seeing more 'o my relatives (Kegan is a tiny barbarian, but he's the cutest barbarian that ever bit me), and I'm working very hard on putting something I planned into practice. This is probably one of the more difficult things I've had to do in awhile, seeing as I've spent a whole lifetime planning stories and very little time actually writing them. @__@ Today I've got to clean my rat's cage and my room. Yesterday I left the cage open like I usually do so the little ones can get some air, but a 1/2 hour later when I went downstairs Erin said, "Hey, Sam. Nikodemus is running around in your room." Apparently he jumped off of his table- maybe it's his way of telling me he's ready to do some exploring. I'll make an effort to take them out more often and let them run around in different places.
What would be a good color to paint my room? I'm thinking a crisp blue. Or a combination of midnight blue and robin's egg blue. Dunno yet. Right now it just feels so closed in and dingy, probably because there are spider and insect shells everywhere and I have a bunch of dorm crap on the floor. Cleaning it up will certainly improve my mood, as well as the rats', since I'll be able to let them out without fear of them chewing on some important notebook or textbook.
Please notice the total lack of transition:
Although I often cringe when Grandma tries to give me advice, the things she says are often very helpful. I'm not sure why I'm so resistant to listening, because I recognize that she gives good tips. Maybe being stubborn is just a knee-jerk reaction to change. Anyway! It would be wise to try and put some of the things I've learned to good use. First up: positive thinking. "I enjoy my new job and I'm good at it." Even though I don't currently have a job, she says it's best to put the statement in the present tense. Put positive energy out into the universe, and hopefully good things will be returned. Couldn't hurt to try. Go-go quantum physics? e__e
