Seems the best time to update this thing is at work. Work is ok. I can complain about actually having to go to work like everyone else, but I can't REALLY complain because its the easiest, most laid-back job I've had. Yeah, at times I wish I had something to do, as to end the perpetual boredom.....but not really. Plenty of people try and make me feel guilty about me having such little work, while they have shitloads...but seeing as I've been working steadily since 2 months after I turned 16, with 2 months between jobs at one point, I think I've earned it.
Weird...I'm putting paragraphs in here. I think that's a first. School starts on Monday, and I'm already fucking nervous. Its an easy schedule so I can still work a fair amount (20ish hours a week), but it still gets to me. Part of that is probably because my financial aid is all fucked up due to being out of school for six months. I got all the repayment issues taken care of, but I found out a few days ago that my aid was cancelled....for no apparent reason. I assumed the fact that my lenders didn't think I was still in school had something to do with it, but apparently that shouldn't have happened. So now I have to trust the PSU financial aid department to fix things, or else I can't go to school this term. Given prior experiences with this "fine" outfit of rag-tag advisors, I am kinda scared.
Moving out seems to have been fruitless. We looked and looked for apartments, some of them decent, but none of them felt right. And believe me, I am not one to seek out perfection to the nth degree, I just want a comfy place to live. And for my budget, I won't find my ideal place. So, we're still looking.....
In totally unrelated news, I placed 2nd out of 11 in a Texas Hold Em' tourney at our brother bands' house. I made back my $5 buy in, and made another $10. That's pretty fucking sweet. I'm glad I don't own any expensive watches or trophy wives, because I enjoy gambling too much.
