notes to self (sorta)
- I owe TC3 a whole mess of money. Reslife does not owe me my security deposit back, after a week of phone calls redirected to various offices and no real answers from anybody. Apparently when I quit going to classes, $800-some of my financial aid money (grants) was rescinded. They applied the $400 security deposit to my balance, and I owe them the remainder of that. Not what I wanted to hear. That makes a total of around $4000 I blew on my last semester there, not to mention the money that I spent on groceries and takeout food and trips to the mall, and all I really got out of it was a few months of living in an apartment with three girls who ostracized the hell out of me. Oh well. I'll take care of it this week and then finally be done with the fucking place. Next time, I'll listen if my gut is telling me I don't want to go back to college. I mean, really don't want to go back, not just pre-semester jitters or lamenting the end of summer or whatever.
- My reading has sort of fallen by the wayside, hasn't it? :P I haven't posted any book reviews since... well, since the last time I posted one, and that was quite awhile ago. I've definitely given up all hope on keeping up with read_hp. I think they're on book five now, and I never even got around to finishing up the first. I've only got a few chapters to go, I think; maybe I'd better pull it out from whatever crevice it's hiding in and finish it off. That would make book 14, I think, of the 50 I planned to read by October for 50bookchallenge. I'll probably never finish it, but you know what? My reason for starting that was just to nudge myself in the direction of reading more. I think I've definitely accomplished that goal already, so I'll pat myself on the back for that. *pat pat*
- Went over to friendMatt's last night with a 12-pack of Smirnoff Ice Triple Black. I did a couple of shots of Jack Daniel's, too. Coe and Joe came over, and Lara was there too. I hadn't hung out with her since high school. She hasn't really changed: she's still really quiet and chipmunk-cheeked and skinny, haha. She seemed a bit more talkative and friendly with me this time, though maybe that was just the alcohol. We had a fun time, though; listening to Lords of Acid and White Zombie and Metallica and, oh man, Sublime and System of a Down... I remember I kept requesting "Machinehead" by Bush, but I don't recall getting to hear it before I decided I needed to go to sleep. So I'm going to play that one later. ;) I fell off the couch laughing at Matt and his sister Andrea's phone conversation at one point. And no one played cards! I was ecstatic! I hate sitting stone-faced around a fucking table trying to use my brain when I've been drinking. Intoxication is for enjoying, for dancing and having stupid conversations and laughing your ass off and falling over. That's my philosophy, anyway.
- I think I have nothing else to say, so goodbye, LJ-land.
