It’s finally over though. Friday was the last day and now I get a week of until I have to do it all over again. At least it isn’t winter anymore, it’s been cold again and it snowed a little the other day but at least it isn’t sticking around anymore, I think it’s just finally getting it out of it’s system, whatever “it” is. I finished out the semester strong, my grades should be superb but they didn’t come easy. I got so stressed out toward the last few weeks that I was getting sick, and my neck has been so tense that it’s painful and everything. I also haven’t been getting hardly any sleep, I finally got a good nights sleep last night but my stomach was kind of icky feeling today. Might have been because I ate at Arby’s for lunch. Fast food just doesn’t sit well with me anymore. I think i’m starting to develop a distaste for the grease or something. As you probably know, I never eat at McDonald’s anymore, that’s the ultimate gross-out as far as i’m concerned. I may have just felt ill all day because I was working at TCF from 9 to 6, but actually the day went by pretty fast, surprisingly. I have a nice little 5 hour shift down there tommorow and then I have a pretty relaxing week ahead. Gotta figure out how i’m paying rent on Tuesday. I’m sure i’ll come up with something! Nah, i’m kidding, it’s not that bad, really. I’m doing okay…. Just glad the semester is over, it ranks up there with the quarter I had the “color nazi” for Color & Design. That wasn’t a fun quarter. I was also fed up with stupid roommates at the same time. Which reminds me, I haven’t really seen those guys lately. I bumped into Tom a few weeks ago, said he’s done with school pretty soon and moving out west afterward. I haven’t seen a trace of Chris, wonder if he’s even still going there. I see his old buddies all the time, but never really have time (or the desire) to talk to them. Well, whatever, wherever they are i’m sure they’re driving someone crazy. But everyone gets fed up with their roommates after a while, right? My brother is fed up with his, I mean as fed up as I was with Tom and Chris, he’s ready to throw them off the balcony! That’s why I think it’s been good that Liz and I have been living together for a while, it’ll be about a year in June. Things are still working out well and she puts up with my crap and I put up with hers (I think she puts up with mine more than I put up with hers). It’s been a rough last year or so for both of us. She’s been jumping between jobs trying to find something she doesn’t hate doing that actually pays descent money, i’ve been putting up with a junk car and demanding classes and deadlines and a stressful night job where i’m constantly being asked to fix other people’s financial problems while I have some of my own to worry about. I guess at least I don’t ignore my account balance and just spend spend spend until it goes negative like some people, then b***h at the bank representative because I don’t have enough money for my bills. I actually budget myself, watch what I spend and everything. But I guess I have the unfair advantage of having the whole TCF Bank system right at my fingertips everyday. Reminds me of that Pink Floyd song, “Money, so they say, it’s the root of all evil in the world today.” Oh yeah, why are we at war again? Til next time, say your prayers, eat your Corn Flakes, and keep your bomb shelters ready. Have a nice weekend.
