Life has been going good. Except for a few things...
Last night my aunt Eileen called and asked me if I wanted to come over and see Kingdom of Heaven with her. I saw it when it came out in theaters and remembered most of it, but I had not seen it in a LONG time and I wanted to see my aunt and her cute little kitten, Lou. He's so cute! Eileen adopted him from the Humane Society. I was the one who found him on-line. When she got him, he was sick and clingy, but now he's crazy with energy and I played with him and tired him out before the movie started.
The movie was better than I remembered. The chick in it was ugly and my aunt agreed. We saw some familiar faces from Brave Heart and Troy. Also, one of the crusaders is one of the main characters from the HBO series, Rome. I was like "OMG! It's him!" And I also recognized "Scar" from the Lion King, who had a scar by his eye in the movie... I need to look up and see if that's his real scar... Orlando looked espiecially sexy...
Any way, I got home at 11pm and was too tired to make myself lunch. I figured that I'd pack myself some fruit in the morning. So I washed up and went to bed.
Today, I got up at 6:45am and got ready for school. I remembered how I was in REALLY light sleep before I woke up and how I was dreaming about Indian Elephants... I had my cereal and got cleaned up and dressed. Before I left, I packed myself a water bottle with juice and ice because I keep falling asleep in my Trig class. It's an important class and I NEED to stay awake through it, and it worked.
I got to history class and learned about the Cold War and President Truman and the Red Scare. I'm really glad I took this class. It's 1945 - Present American History. So I don't get the colonial to WWI lecture like you get in middle school and high school. They can't figure out that you NEVER get through the book and NEVER get past WWI. And WWII and beyond is the interesting stuff that matters that you can talk to adults about. Because they remember it and know about it.
Then before math class started, I checked my cell and had a voice mail and a call from my aunt. She likes to call and tell me what's going on before I go and pick her kids up from the bus stop. She'll call and ask me to throw something in the dryer or that the dishwasher is clean. Well, she called to tell me that she had the day off and that I didn't need to come over.
Hearing this, I remembered that my Chem class was cancelled for the day because the professor was on an extended vacation in NY for labor day. So I was super off the hook!
Trig went well and I did not fall asleep!! My juice saved me! So I might just bring it every day. The lady still is a bit hard to understand because her 2 front lower teeth are missing... but I managed. The chick that sits in front of me has an annoying voice. Before class started, another student was tutoring her on something and I was hating her voice. It's like a small girl's voice. It doesn't fit her at all because she's an bigger adult. Why do I always have a WEIRD adult student in at least one of my classes per semester?
After class was over, I went to the used book store and tried to sell them 2 of my old text books, but apparently the damn school upgraded and my versions are not used any more... :/ I had to buy the Trig book and it was $147 total!! It's ridiculous!! I went on ebay and found a cheaper one... I think that I will just not open the one I bought today and return it.
Because I had to buy that damn book, my bank account balance is now $10.70! :D YAY NO MONEY!! UGH... I am so upset. I have 1/2 a tank of gas as of today and It won't last me until Saturday... So I had to transfer $100 from the meager $400 in my savings account. Then I remember that I'm over due for an oil change. Also, my speedometer is showing 61,017 miles and it's making me sad.
So I came home and my parents both are home. My mom had an operation recently and is out of work for 2 more weeks I think. She is fine and the surgery went without a hitch. Dad has the day off because he will work next weekend. They wanted to know why I was home and I was still a little p-oed from the damn book. So we went out for lunch after a few errands.
I need to get a 2nd morning job. Just to keep me awake and a float.. My hours got cut back because the kids all go to school and get out at 2pm now. So I don't need to be there at 12... UGH I should have saved more money this summer... UGH!! Gas went up and I was putting over 500 miles on my car a week. That's like 2 fill ups a week... about $100 a week.... on GAS alone...
But being in the play was worth it... Ugh... this is making me depressed though... I need to go get another job now. If I was on my own, or just paying for my cell phone bill and my insurance, I'd be screwed. OH! And there is a $206 car payment due on yay, next Monday... :( This is so sad...
Maybe I should do some art commissions... I dk... What do you think? Should I do that? I can draw and I already have a paypal... How about this...
Poll Commissions?
Well, I'm going to stop here before I get myself all worked up over nothing. This is the longest post that I've made in a long time... I hope that all of you guys are doing good.
