I need a beer(s).
I'm slightly stressed.
Grad school application fees, transcripts from 3 universities, and GRE scores to be sent are going to add up to roughly $700, best case scenario (assuming I only apply to the schools on my current list). Not to mention Xmas is just over a month away, and I have 10-12 people to shop for spending $30-50 per person. My car is making funny noises, begging me to rotate and balance my tires, get my transmission serviced, my brakes checked, and probably an oil change. I hate cars! I can't even get all the hours I want at the Mayor's Office because of classes and a weekly volunteer program. Because I had to finish up a few required classes for graduation, I had no choice but to take some daytime classes. Sure, it leaves my weekends and all but two evenings (Tues & Thur) free, so I'm tempted (or feel it necessary) to grab a second job making merely $8/hour at LaQuinta, the hotel I used to work at. Of course, if I start this second job, my grades are going to suffer, and I need all A's this semester. I have two bills in my apartment not due until the first week in December. I usually pay bills immediately upon receipt, but I really can't right now. And I need to get my cat Boss some Frontline because I suspect he has fleas.
I wish I had the time and energy for a second person. Was supposed to go to the School of Americas protest this weekend, but I just can't. I'm spreading myself too thin. Plus I have this idea to go to Vulcan Park and have a picnic/study session.
