i feel so much better today. i was supposed to talk to my parents but i dont think im quite ready yet. i do miss my home a lot but i really feel i do deserve more freedom (mentally). i think they physically give me enough freedom. i dont mind reporting to them various things. i dont mind telling people where i am or where im going to be because i want people to know just in case i do get in trouble or hurt.

yesterday i took a walk for 2.5 hours. im sure it was a good like 4 miles. i know that doesnt seem like a lot but it was very hot outside. idk it mightve been more than that. i havent checked in a car yet. but yea mightve been 6. either way it was very fun and relaxing, besides the 5 new blisters on my feet from walking in old navy flip flops. i walked barefoot a lot of the time because it hurt too much. thank god the sun was beginning to lower by that point so that the asphalt wasnt hot enough to cook an egg.

i made myself french toast and a bit of scrambled eggs with a side of banana slices. it was very satisfying.

i interviewed yesterday with PNC bank for a peak time teller position. the recruiter i interviewed with said i must fill out an online test. so i did that and now im waiting for a call about the 2nd round interview. if i get hired, i have to take a drug test. so that means i have to sweat and drink a lot of water because i smoked on sunday. if ur occasional smoker (which i am) then it supposedly leaves ur system after 3-10 days. so i need to get it OUT. i really really really want this job. id only have to work at most like 20 hrs a week and its 13.25 an hour. if i dont get this i will cry. when i said i was an engineering student she said, 'wow...' so hopefully thatll pull me through. cause i mean...i am pretty decent at math! i have to be!!

other than that, im trying my best to learn all i can about student loans. i found one loan that i think would be good for me. so i have to apply for the stafford loan, perkins loan, and signature student loan. hopefully that'll cover everything. and if i consolidate my loans it apparently puts it all together in one lump sum. i had no idea what the word consolidate meant until today. but anyway ive been doing scholarships everyday and entering contests. im going to do a video soon for "Why I Think I Deserve A Scholarship", hosted by Dell computers. I mean, its only $4000 so it doesnt seem like a lot compared to the $75,000 ill have to owe after graduation but its something! and it saves me 4000 of hard work! thats why i really want that job at the bank! i could get a nice amount of money.

i might have to work through the school year but i think this will motivate me more. ill have less time to do nothing and my tight schedule will ensure i get my work done when i need to. its time to grow up. and im kinda happy about that. :)

well i think im going to ride a bike or walk later. im better at walking but these blisters might make that hard to do.
