I feel like I'm wasting my summer. I had all of these great plans for the things I would do, and I have been busy, but none of those things have been accomplished. I have been studying for the tour guide test for almost a month now! Granted, I had to stop for a week and a half while I had visitors, but crap! I wanted to be giving tours already! At least it is something I can keep doing while I am back in school.
Now that I am a teacher, should I say back in school, or is that an improper connotation? Is back AT school any better. Either way, I have accepted the fact that I will be in school, in some way or another, until I am too old to care anymore.
I'd probably get more accomplished if I could wake up before 11, but that would mean giving up watching TV until 2 AM. Then how would I learn about Brittney Spears? Cable has so much crap on, but I am always convinced that I will find something worthwhile. I have it stuck in my head, from the time I was 10, that being on summer vacation means staying up late and watching TV.
E and I have been driving around looking for houses in the neighborhoods where we want to live. This would be more fun if I knew where I am going to work next year (To try to be close to work) and also if I wasn't so fucking broke. A new bill just caught up to me (didn't pay Carnegie any taxes while I lived there and they found me in GA) and now I only have $75/month spending money after bills, and that doesn't factor in the monthly trip to the pet store ($50 ish). I really hope my raise in September works out they way I think it will. I really need to start the tours.
And I wonder, when will I be able to work only 1 job and still be comfortable. I'm not trying to be a wild spender, I just hate having that I-want-to-thow-up feeling everytime I pay bills or discuss financial matters.
O-well. Off to meet E for some yummy Burger King lunch. I didn't even eat breakfast yet. Yuck. I just want to hang out w/ E when I usually don't get to.
