Friends-
I am in quite the funk right now. But I'm going to try to avoid being all lame and depressing and try to list the good things as well. Here goes.
Whats wrong in my life now- 1)Money. Plainly put, There just isn't enough coming in to cover my expenses. It seems I must resort to a loan with interest so high, it isn't even going to have the courtesy to use lubrication after it bends me over. 2) My family. I don't exactly care to go in detail over my journal, but lets just say I'm not really talking to my folks right now. 3) My car. Haha, this is a good one. About three or so weeks back, the ty rod and the lower control rod on the front left tire of the car broke. This occurred after some considerable squeaking came from it for a couple months. Repairs (including flatbed towing) costs over 500 bucks. The clincher: The right side is now squeaking. 4) Academics. Haven't really gone to class in two weeks, despite having good grades. Please don't lecture me. 5) The presidency. I would like to think the September was a good month for me in this category. October clearly isn't. I am sorry to all the brothers I am letting down, I will not let this continue to slide. 6) My future. Jeanette might have to keep her job longer (about a year or so) than expected. If that is the case, you don't know how far back that is going to set me. 7) My recent ticket. That's right, in the thick of my current financial fiasco, I managed to get a ticket on the highway that really hurts. What did you do?, might you ask! I was driving with only my panel lights on, minutes after the sun set. "The ticket isn't that bad." says the dickhead officer. I disagree 94 bucks, for something that easily should have been a warning is kinda bad. Now, I know I'm an idiot, and should have just had my lights on, but come on. It wasn't even dark out yet. 8) Intramurals. Ya know what, I'm just going to expand this category to all sports throughout my life. In my entire life (which includes little leagues, munchkin soccer leagues, summer rec leagues, high school sports, intramurals), I have never been on a championship team. Winning isn't everything, but it is depressing when you lose so much. Especially when you are a competitive person like myself. I was so sure that my walleyball team last fall or Kappa flag football this fall was going to win it. I guess not. Thank you girls for the giving me the honor of coaching, it was an exceptional time.
Well, this side will be comparatively smaller, but it does surely exist. Things that are right in my life now. 1) Thursdays. Though the bar called thursday is awesome, it is not what I am referring. The day of the week. On it, I do everything. I work, rarely miss class on this day. I have Pizza hut Buffet (nicknamed "Church"), and we have Brotherhood. Easily the most productive day of the week for me. 2) My relationship. Much like #2 of the bad, i won't go into detail, but Jen has taken good care of me during this difficult time. 3) Theta Chi. As always, I can count on the chapter to help me with anything. The chapter can expect the same from me. Its a beautiful system.
Ok, I hate to do this, but I am calling on you all to help me out of this funk, seeing as how I am unable to do so on my own. Just try and keep me motivated. Thanks for listening.
