money bullshit

I haven't been able to find another job since January so I looked into selling my Jeep. I've been scraping pennies together every month, upping my credit card debt just to pay for the damn thing. So what do I find? Because of the shitty economy my Jeep depreciated from the 12k I payed for it last summer to 9600 bucks, despite being in tip-top excellent shape. Wonderful, especially considering I owe a little over 10k on it!!!!

I don't know what my job prospects are for the next year so I don't think I can afford to keep it, but even selling it I'm going to take a big hit. Should I even consider keeping it for if the economy ever recovers? I doubt it, because by then I'll probably be something like 10 million dollars in credit card debt.

Pitchfork music fest upped their 3 day passes from $45 to SEVENTY FIVE DOLLARS this year. Way to go on raising prices when people can't afford it!! Pitchfork, you suck, and I don't think I'm going this year. That's saying something, considering last year I went even when I had mono and felt like shit!!

But oh wait, because I'm a special customer who's gone every year, I can get into the drawing to have my 3day pass upgraded to a VIP pass. Is that even worth it?

I think I'm going to drop E&M. The prof writes his own problems (grad level shit and doesn't give partial credit). I shouldn't be acing quantum mechanics and failing E&M. That is a distinct contradiction. By its very nature, quantum mechanics should be harder than E&M!!! I can't take the pressure while being almost jobless and scraping together pennies every month. I had a cold one week, a sinus infection the next, and this week was lucky enough to get food poisoning and couldn't make myself do the homework. I only got a 75 on the exam because I misread a problem I would have gotten an A on otherwise (the average was 69).
I'll have to retake it next year if I actually want to graduate by spring. I work so damn hard in that class, spending hours in the prof's office, all for what? I might scrape by a C?? And in order to do that I have to keep working just a hard the rest of the semester. I just want to quit.

I downloaded Cursive's new album for $1 from Saddle Creek. I have to say I'm slightly disappointed in it. Any thoughts on it?

I'm so pissed. How is the economy affecting you?
