(no subject)
Hello everybody.
Well, two more days till I make my way up to the boogie-down Bronx to start (again haha) at Fordham. I guess I'm having all the sterotypical before-college feelings...I'm definitely really looking forward to it, expecially after this year, but when I really get time to sit and think about it and imagine myself there...yikes! The independence doesn't bother me, nor does the prospect of a full course load...if anything my brain needs an academic shock treatment. It's the whole fact that I'm a total gross idiot desperate for a friend. I could write a whole lot about that, but...I won't haha, because it's just stupid shit that I keep telling myself over and over. I hope people like me, because I can't imagine being my friend, as self-centered as that sounds.
Anyway, I like this band a lot. I havn't been listening to a lot of new music (as in...music that has recently come out) but their song was on a free iTunes Facebook playlist. I tend to shy away from anything labeled "indie rock" because I'm afraid I won't like it or understand it, which means there's something horrible wrong with me. But these guys are pretty good! It was a big step for me to admit that, no, I don't like indie rock. I have no confidence in my tastes at all.
Tense week. The hospital my sister just got a job at after graduating nursing school...well, the nurses went on strike. So she can't work. She has no money. And my brother can't find a job at all. And my dad hates his job. And my mom is flipping out over everything. And since I'm the one that lives at home...I deal with it. So we've been pissing each other off a lot.
Today wasn't so bad, but I can tell she's pretty upset over everything. Plus everything with going back to school has had some glitch. I have to fill out some INSANE form to renew my scholarship, which NOBODY told us about. I have to move in late Sunday since I'm not a "technical" incoming Freshman. The tution is a lot more than we thought because my scholarship got fucked up and they had to give me the single room. Not fair, in my opinion, since I went on a fucking medical leave and had no choice in where they put me. And t's not like I flunked out...they MADE me leave, can't they just renew the scholarship since I didn't even complete my first semester? Seriously now people, give me a fucking break.
So basically, I just want to go AUUUGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
On a happy note, Kristin and Anne and the Modern Yarn ladies had a little "going away party" Stitch n' Bitch for me last week! A total surprise, and a I was really touched! No one's ever done anything like that for me before. Thank you MY! Best yarn store in the world, I speak the truth. I've met so many wonderful women, all ages, careers, etc. and they became my friends. *~tear~*
In other knitting news, I finished two pairs of Fetching from Knitty (one for my sister, one silvery-gray beaded pair for me) and am just about done with a pair of Knucks, also from Knitty. All that's left is the embroidery on the seond glove. Other than that, I'm starting my Knitted Bodice top when I get my KnitPicks needle set for my birthday, and I'll probably start a pair of socks either tonight or tomorrow. Oh, and I want to make everything in the new Vogue Knitting.
Ok, I'm done. Good night ladies and gentlemen.
