I 've been so busy lately with the wedding last week, which was awesome by the way...a story to come later, and all this other stuff that has been going on in my life.
I've been so stressed out lately. Everything that involves my car has been an absolute nightmare.I had to renew my plates before the end of September, so I asked Cindy where I could get an inspection at and she told me a place in town where I was kinda familiar with, so I drive down there and the place she suggested doesn't exist. So I went to Payless (I used to work there) and asked Sheila to help me, she's like my mom away from home, it's so complicated to pretty much live up here all by myself sometimes, so anyway, she explains to me how to get to another place but when I called there they said they were booked. I needed to get the inspection done that day, and Cindy pretty much refused to help me, sometimes she can be so annoying. So her and Rick left to go to Linn to start decorating and all that for their wedding. I got directions from my usual mechanic to go to a place near downtown. Against my wishes I headed down that way and got really lost. I ended up downtown, a place I wanted to avoid because I suck at the whole one way street thing and the busyness of it. Anyway, me, I can't directions at all without getting lost which sucks. I got so lost so I call Cindy and she has no idea where I am and so she turns the phone over to Rick and he was making me so frustrated telling me I needed to get out of the car and find more street signs. I was ummm NO, downtown is not a good place to be, I'd probably get mugged or shot or something....ok so that was overreacting but it's still "the bad part of town" I started to panic and cry which is not good, but how would you react if you were really lost one many confusing one way streets with everyone honking or flipping you off? I eventually made it home safely without an inspection. So I call my dad and he makes an appt in Linn, but in order to make there on time, I had to skip class. The whole day sucked...
I get to Linn and I ask the mechanic to please not roll down the driver's window because it won't go back up, so does he listen? No...so yes my window did get stuck and with the wedding the next day, I kinda forgot about it. So on Sunday when I was going to leave, it started to pour and I wasn't going to drive for 4 hours in the rain with my window down. So I took Whitney's car up here and dad put my car in the shop, and he said he could see the threads sticking out of my tires so he replaced them...I was greatful but that just means I owe him more money, but the scary part is is that my tires could have blown at any time...
So then I go to get the new sticker things from the license place but since I dont have my recept from my property taxes they had to look it up...and the stupid lady couldn't find my car...so annoying. So I left my info with my parents and they got my plates taken care of, but that cost me $50, yes I'm poor now.
Then I come up here and try to my drivers license renewed and they said I needed my birht certificate, which I don't have and neither do my parents because it was destroyed in the fire and so it costs $15 to get a new one printed and where do you ask is the Dept. of Health located?? Downtown...so not going there ever again...so I never got that done and it expires on Monday and it's a holiday so the office will be closed
I'm stressed that's all there is to it lol.
I had a math test yesterday and after the professor inspected my calculator to make sure I wasn't going to cheat, he gave me my test. I start working on it and my calculators batteries die. I tell the professor and he tells me that's my problem and blah blah blah...so I had to mental math it all the way...i suck at mental math too. 5 minutes before test is over he gives me a calcualtor to check my work and for every minute you stay behind is a point off, so it was stressful because I already knew I did bad but that adds to it. Anyway someone asked him about retakes and he said it depends on how bad our class did...just lovely. And it shouldn't be this hard it's only a 100 level class for crying out loud.
Well I promise when I get back up here after my weekend in Linn, I'll update with more positive news. I have too many birthday plans and not enough time, but I'm excited to actually do something other than stress about school, so my mind will be fixed on having fun. Anyway I need to get going...I was supposed to be on the road over a half hour ago...I'm just putting it off.
Oh, I'm starting full-time soon at work and going to school full-time as well, I hope I can handle it all.
I promise on Monday I'll write a little something before I go out and kinda party...my fellow workmates, supervisor included are going to Legends ( a sports bar/grill) I'm so excited.
Now really I must be going lol...I'll catch up on journals soon, don't un-friend me please...
