10 days until school!
So I am on phones today at work, but it is not ringuiSchool cannot start soon enough.
This morning I got coffee with Nick at Bagelz and walked around campus for a while before I had work at 11:00. Walking around, seeing all of the beautiful trees, buildings, and walkways made me so much more excited than I already was. I love Summer so much, but I am really ready to go back. I move in on the 3rd, which is 4 days before the first day of class. I am so glad that the Womens Center moves in early, because I really want to make sure that my room is settled and exactly the way I want it before the stress of the semester begins.
So a few days ago I was getting a routine oil change and as it turns out, I needed about 750 dollars worth of repairs done to my car, because there were a few things that were extremely unsafe. I needed new tires, a new tire axle rod, a new slider caliber brake thing, and an alignment. I ended up using a coupon to bring it down to about $687, but that is still money that I had saved up to go towards my car insurance ($1600) that is due in November. It's really frustrating to me, because although I still have a couple big checks coming to me from work, now I know that I am going to be stressing out during the semester trying to save that additional money...
The good news is that I know that I will have a second job in Septemer. I was offered a job with the Womens Studies department, but unfortunatly I cannot take it because they can only hire work study students, and I am not eligable for work study because of all my grants. But, I am about 90% certain that I will have a job with the Honors Department. The person who is in charge of hiring there asked for my schedule within half an hour of me telling her I was interested and acted like I had the job, so I am just waiting to hear back from her on what days she would need me to work. I am really hoping that this job goes through, because she told me that if I got it, they would want to keep me on until I graduate. Plus, they don't require work study which is rare for an on campus job.
I am really crossing my fingers that she hires me, and is not just acting like she will!
I also still really want to go to Six Flags and New York. Maybe it is still possible. I know that I will have enough if I cut back on buying things I don't need, like coffee at Coffee Connection and going out to dinner. It would be worth it!
Hope all is well <3
