Katie is happy:
I get approved for financial aid from school. For an instant I'm rich. I can finally get my little Saturn fixed. I join AAA, get it towed, toss the guys the keys and I'm feeling good. I take the liberty of buying myself a new outfit (something that I never do). Feelin good in my new summer dress. I started to consider what else I could buy with my new found spoils. Perhaps I'll have enough to buy my own wedding dress, perhaps I'll buy all the textbooks I'll need for Fall semester, perhaps I'll exchange it for British pounds and have my own spending money on my upcoming trip to Englandtown. My heart is full with the comfort that I can afford any bill that I need to pay. Yay for me.
Katie is apprehensive:
The auto shop sends me a fax of their estimate today and in seconds all of my expectations and hopes fall through the floor. They recommend replacing the engine at an estimated cost of $2000.
Katie is PISSED OFF:
Here I sit, mad at the world, confused, stomach in a knot, frustrated. No text books, no dress, only a few bills taken care of. Grrr to the world. Only a mix of Nirvana- In Utero and Bush- Machinehead and a little Beck feels right at this point.
