Life. An update.
Life has been very stressful lately. I got a ticket for speeding on 65 in KY. Calling places trying to figure out what to do with it, my options with traffic school because I'm out of state has been a nightmare. So, I finally got some answers and have to take a 4-hour online course that eliminates the points from my license and allows me to avoid paying the ticket.
I've also been trying to get shit with my loan taken care of. Shit keeps getting fucked up. I get wrong information. Delays me weeks. I just hope I have the money in time to pay the bill.
The weather strip that runs along the driver side of my car cracked and broke. It needed to be replaced. I ordered a "new" one from a used parts Miata place. They sent the wrong part. Then, it took nearly 3 weeks and a few phone calls to get the correct piece. Very frustrating to not be able to wash your car w/o water getting all over the inside.
So, I replaced the water pump earlier this summer. It's defective. It makes a weird noise and leaks once the car is turned off. I called the dealership and they will replace the water pump for free, but won't compensate me for the labor cost to put it in. I'm leaving for school tomorrow morning and thus, can't do it myself this time.
So, I was refilling the coolant reservoir today, and happened to notice the dried coolant on the valve cover and heat shield. Closer inspection showed that there was coolant on the coil pack, some plug wires, and down inside the plug well of cylinder 4. Fuckin great. Sounds like a head gasket to me... Anyways, it's going to Evolution Autosports tomorrow morning before I leave so they can replace the water pump and diagnose my new-found problem.
As if shit hadn't already hit the fan... I go back to school tomorrow. For the first time ever, I don't want to go. At all. Sure... I want to see some friends. But that's it. I'm not motivated whatsoever with classes, and grades will probably be worse this semester than last because of it. I've had a good time this summer. I've grown much closer to a few friends, and I'm going to miss them a lot. I, honestly, wish I was taking a semester or two off from school. For right now, I'm very content working at Frito and hanging out with friends on the weekend here. I've loved it. Point is... I don't want to go back to school. Period.
Okay. That's all. My rant about how life sucks and me being all emo and shit is over.
