bad day today
i am hoping writting this will allow me to move on with work
woke up to the school cutting our printing privileges
no mre then 50 pages a job
first of all this is a stupid system
second of all they charge us a SHIT ton for this printing in university fees
third of all we had to pay a bunch of fees like this... while we were in Bermuda... clearly not using any ECU stuff
shitty
then helter skelter run around
trying to get all my shit in order to go to Roanoke tomorrow to do some archival research and stay over to get work done on friday
this shit in order stuff inlcuded a car inspection, oil change, laundry and organization
in the middle of this i get an email
"tell Lyz she is not to go on her trip tomorrow becuase the funds have been frozen"
so the grant i have been working on all semester
with weekends alone in hotels spending hours in archives
then hours on the computer translcrbing old texts
i will get no money for all of this probably
and i will be lucky if my trips get reimbursed
i did not know the state could pass a law to make students money go away
and there is it
so now what!
i need to go to Manteo to do my research as well
not to mention i have this trip and another planned and i cant get the hotels canceled becuase i booked them online to save money
becuase i am a jack ass
i knew this seemed too good to be true
so i am trying to get as much of the grant out as i can through a weekyl salary thing
who knows though
not to mention i will not be producing this book with out the $
and i dont think my prof. remembers that we have a directed readings course off this
so i can round out my history requirements
GREAT
all around great

So i am taking a solo trip to Manteo
and staying overnight by the beach
and if i have extra time ill just see the sites... who knows
jet over to Ocracoke?
it could happen
thank god i have an atlas

this semester has been draining
courses are over after this
and thankfully i have federal work study for the summer

but still i worry about real life
when this is all said and done

and i miss my family hard core right now
and my home friends too
but i have been spending extra money like i have a $2500 grant to play with
because i did... until today!
i fucking paid all my insurance yestarday! thinking i had this money as a cushion
and i am not destitute or poor really
i still have loans
i just wanted suplemental money
but oh well :-(
can't spend it if you dont have it!
should not have done that

fuck this recession
