venting...
It's one of those days... I'm just in an overall bad mood all of a sudden. It's hot everywhere. You cannot get away from it. I'm tired of it. I'm tired of my room but at the same time there's nothing to do here. Even if there was, I'd need money to do and that my friends I do not have. I managed money horribly this summer. All my money has gone to eating out. It's horrible. I look at my ATM and it's like applebees.... chilis... bjs... cousins (haha okay small smile). But okay if you had to eat at carson every day for every meal... you'd want outside food as well. So I'm bitter about being bored, broke and hot.
Then I found out that my books are going to be $230 this term and that's only if I can get all of them used. My Italian book is $100 alone. And you know what pisses me off the most?? That for all of this, I'm only going to get like $50 back. It's such a rip off! i do not understand how I can buy a book in August for $80, use it for 3 months, have you tell me in December it's only worth $20 and then turn around and sell it next term for $70! Someone please explain this to me. I went to the bookstore today hoping I could get the pick of the used books but they didn't have a lot of their fall course books up so I only could get my psychology book. You would think that they would want to put out the course books as soon as possible to avoid last minute rushes, especially since classes start in just over a month. But hey what do I know.
Also at the book store, I went to the computer department because i"m having a problem with my printer. It's just decided to not print some of the black text. Not all of it, just some of it. It's like it'll print a paragraph, skip one, then print the next. So I'm like wtf. I got digital duck and explain the problem to the guy there. He asks me if have ink. ::: blank stare::: yea I have ink. I brought out what would be my booklist that I tried to print off line to show him the problem. He says that it's not a problem with my printer, it's a problem with the server. He tells me that I should go try to print it off of their computer and see what happens. So he takes me to a PC (even though I told him I have a mac) and print off their computer which of course it works. He acts like problem solved. It printed. Well yea it printed because I did it off of a completely different computer and printer! Gah! How does this explain what this contraption next to my computer is thinking!??! Once again, I maintian that you should not be allowed to work with the general public if you don't posess common sense. He told me to back up my hard drive or something and sent me on my way. Thanks for the help.
Earlier today I was startld when suddenly these 2 feet hit my windows with a bang. I'm sitting like 3 feet away and all of a sudden there's someone hanging right outside my window. Turns out they're cleaning the windows today. That would've been nice to know. What if I had been changing? They start banging my windows closed and making all this noise without being like 'hey, we're outside'. They see me! And the guy is smoking. Hanging off the side of a building cleaning windows smoking. So all the carcinogenic smoke is coming in my room. I get up to close my windows and the guys is like "no no no! it gives us something to hold on to!" Uh.... you're hanging off the side of a 5 story building. Hope you have more than my half open windows to keep you from falling. Rar.
Nick and I fought last night. He was just being stupid on the phone and like going off on California. Seriously me telling him that to buy a new razor and shaving gel would be 'only' 15 dollars turned into this thing on how money means nothing to Californians and that's why we're in debt and that we need better border control because that's where all our money is going. Uhh.... Okay? So I was pissed because I had been wanting to talk to him all day and all he does is rag on where I'm from. Usually I don't care because we kinda joke about california and stuff but last night it just wasn't funny and I tried telling him that but sometimes he just can't let go of stuff so he kept going. So I was pissed and then he was like "oh I'm sorry I didn't mean to make you mad I was joking around blah blah" and then he goes all quiet and he's like well now I feel all bad and I'm embarrassed. So he just doesn't talk to me? So then I felt bad because he felt bad cause I was mad at him. Then I'm mad at myself for feeling bad because I got mad at him! I mean it's just stupid!! We'll see what happens when he gets off work later.
Finally, I feel bad because my Dad went on this horrendous call last night and he's really shook up about it. He was really upset when I talked to him on the phone. I wish I could give him a hug and make him feel better. I won't go into all the gory details but it was a really really graphic crash in which a 19 yr old was thrown from his car after speeding through a neighborhood and killed 2 houses up from his home. :( people wear seatbelts.... they said if he had been, he probably would've lived. Be careful everyone okay!!!
okay this is the end of my vent. I'm going to relax now and not think about things.
