i'm slowing down. the semester is finally over and i get 2 weeks of repreive before my semester starts again. this past math class was just no good for my brain, and now i have accounting classes until the end of the year. it's hard to explain that i don't understand math - my brain just doesn't think that way. it looks at numbers and just immediately gives up. i swear.
the university has implemented a new attendance policy, not allowing anyone to miss ANY days in a semester. can't miss the first class for any reason - if you do, you HAVE to drop teh class. 1 absence is permitted with a doctors excuse, and results in an automatic drop down a letter grade. i think it's crap - if i can take the class by correspondence, then why can't i miss a class? at any rate, it's fucking with my fall and stressing me out. it's not that i plan to miss classes, but when i'm double booked all fall on classes, my parents are pulling at me to visit, we're trying to get to ubercon, and would love the opportunity to actually do something FUN, it leaves me not able to get away for a weekend - and even when we do, like camping, i'm so behind it's hard to catch up.
oh, and i got new sexy librarian glasses that i just want to wear all the time. so, so cute.
i was listing to my beloved air america radio every day for a while but i'm taking time off of that while i don't have classes. i've found myself feeling really overwhelmed lately between work, school, extracurricular and home commitments, so i'm trying to slow down. i tried listening to NPR as its a little slower pace, but it's still people talking. people talking make me nervous.
the radio makes me unhappy. it sucks. so, i looked through some cds i haven't listened to in a while, and pulled out my girlfriend's 'shameless' cd. it brought back so many happy memories and then made me terribly sad because i miss her and her hubby. i really can't express how much, even. this restrained school schedule is worrying me that i won't be able to get away to visit anyone for a long time.
we're poor again... the payments on the credit cards that we're finally paying off are slowly catching up to us. i think the last of the payments that we're currently making are in august, and then we'll probably take a break. because trev's boss hasn't been taking out taxes on him from march-june, we manually adjusted the amount that we have withdrawn to accomodate for that. we're now down $500 more a month after taxes because of having to make that adjustment. yeah. uh, real poor now. not to mention that about a month ago the lawyer told me that the check was in the mail for sure by the end of the day - so i paid bills up that i should have waited til our next paycheck on, sending us in a bit of a spiral and knocking our finances completely out of whack. we're a little more on track now, but i'm still really hoping that the check comes next week, as promised.
in a way, i think if we could find a way to just deal with living like this, we could put away a lot of cash each month to save for a house once the tax situation is taken care of. it'd be nice to use that return for a down payment in 2006. if i could keep the money out myself without spending it and put it in savings, i could actually earn interest on it. i just know it's going to be really hard to go without it and try to plan ubercon and a trip to see my folks, and so on.
trevs unhappy with his job and is ready to look again. i just don't even know what to do about it. i hate it that he's unhappy but i don't know that we have a lot of choices right now.
maybe we *should* follow beth and tony to colorado.
*shrug*
