A homeless guy just wandered through the student commons

That was kinda weird.

I realize I have been seriously neglecting my blog. My apologies.

What's been up in my life lately...? Let me think...

For starters, I am working at Ukrops in Mechanicsville now. Not sure whether I told you that already or not. I am a cashier and I really enjoy the work. But they are not giving me enough hours - usually 15 or less. I was told when I was hired that I would have 20-25. I talked to the supervisor/manager guy about it and he wasn't very promising. I think I have to find a second job, or just another completely different job. Actually, I KNOW I do, unless they miraculously start giving me enough hours.

The semester is almost over. Only one more day of classes, and then two days of finals and I will be done! Finished up and turned in my last assignments today. I still have to bring in my resume on Thursday, but since that's already all made, there's practically no work involved in getting that done. I'm not sure what's going to happen next semester. As it stands right now, I only have 10 credits and a screwy schedule. I've talked to an advisor about getting a few things straightened out, but I won't go into detail about that right now.

(A cute guy just sat down in the chair about six feet away from me. Why do the cute guys always appear when I'm feeling sick, and looking it, too? Blah.)

Anyway.

And my van is broken, so yay. Rick replaced the calipers (whatever those are, has something to do with the brakes) and two tires. THEN he found out I need a new transmission, which would cost me between $1,500 and $2,000. I don't have the money. So I'm almost positive I'm just going to forget about my stupid van. Good riddance. The thing has been a pain since I got it. I'm hoping I can sell it at least to recup the money I spent on the stinking calipers and tires. Then I'm just going to look for a new one. Hopefully a Honda, kinda like my first car. But I'll likely be without a car for a while and will have to work something out with my parents to borrow their van. That means that I will probably have to get up (REALLY) early to take my dad to work on days that I will need it. But it's all good, at least I have access to a car!

My Dad's car and the family Sidekick are also AWOL.

MONEY is stressing me out. I guess it wouldn't be so bad if I were getting a good amount of hours at Ukrops and could depend on getting a fairly okay paycheck every week. But I really can't, so I'm kinda in ready-to-pull-my-hair-out mode. And I DO NOT want to get a loan. Period.

Oops, Sierra is out of class - time to go!

Until next time...
