MAN, i'm hungry!
ok, so yesterday i went to pick up the keys to my new apartment but the guy didn't have them cause i guess i should've let him know i was coming. he also let me know that the he's gonna cash my check for the deposit (which is $400) which means after the rent money goes out of my account i'll have like 67p until my student loan checks clear which will take supposedly at least 6 weeks. this leaves me in an excellent position since i move in on sunday. no furniture (well, not really cause there'll be a bed and a couch, fridge, and stove top), no bedsheets but most worrying, no food! mike's offered to help me with that, though. i just gotta come up with a plan to eat on a tiny budget. easy, been doing that all my life.
so yeah, all i need is
bag of frijoles negros
bag of rice
bag of oatmeal
tinned tomatoes
salt and pepper
spaghetti
oil
onions
tea and soy
instant soups
cheap crackers
peanut butter
bread
potatoes
veg spread
that shouldn't cost more than like £10 or £15. plus, mike's offered to come by every now and then with fresh vegetables. i'll be ok. i'll just have to deal with no tv or music for a while, which means more studying.
it just sucks that i'll have to wait until i can have a carne asada. i was really getting excited about it. when i do get my money, though, i'll be able to afford lots of havana club which'll more than make up for having to wait.
school's going really well. yesterday i had the first lecture for a class that i think is going to end up being the most important one i take this year. it's for embedded systems or microelectronic applications. it's basically all about learning how to design the electronic parts to any device you want to make for whatever reason. so if i want to design something electronic to do a certain thing i'll know how to do it. there's not real organization to how the class goes cause the professor is basically just teaching us how to plan out the design process. i was so excited about it. i had a big ass headache form not eating or drinking anything all day but i was still really into it. this is totally perfect for the project boris wants me to work on.
plus, we're gonna have a lab this semester where we actually build an alarm system that has amplifiers and filters and stuff in it. damn, this year is gonna be really good cause i'm gonna actually get to do serious engineer's stuff.
vicky invited me to go to the fab cafe with her tonight, or sometime this weekend, but considering i'm broke, i probably can't go. unless it's free to get in and i sneak in my own alcohol. we'll see. it'd be nice to hang out with a girl for a change. i've noticed i really have no girlfriends. sometimes i just really want to have some girl talk, you know. problem is, most of the time the kinds of things i want to talk about don't seem to interest girls. or i just don't feel completely comfortable. i don't know. i didn't really think about until that time josue said i'm getting really girly. but he meant it in a kind of bay way cause i said something about wanting to wash my hands cause they were dirty. but i'm thinking, hey, i'm 20. i'm gettin a little too old for the whole tomboy thing. besides, i've been in the closet about being a girly girl for long time now. i'm finally admitting it. i like make up and pretty clothes and getting my hair done. there. doesn't change anything else, does it.
whoa, totally went on a tangent there.
