gloomy
OK, I know I said I'd post a long entry last Sunday, but I've been so damned out of it this week. Between the neck thing and getting back into a school routine and really, really hating being around the people I work with, sitting at a computer for any length of time was out of the question last week.
The visit with Marcus' mom went well. She's a really nice woman. I wish we could get out to see her more often. We ate breakfast at LePeep three days in a row, Marcus taught her how to iChat with his sister in Germany, had a BBQ so that my father could finally meet his mother (we've only been together 12 years and the parents had never met!), shared many Marcus stories. Good times. Marcus' mom wants me to come to Germany with her to visit Marcus' sister in March. Since I'm totally broke, don't see how I'll accomplish that. It would be cool to go, though. We're going to Tennessee in early October. That's the only time that Marcus and his mom could coordinate time off from work. I'll just have to miss a week of school, I guess.
After much internal debate, I decided to go ahead and enroll in the Bachelor degree program at Platt. Supposedly, some of my UNC credits should transfer so that I won't have to take as many general ed classes. I'm supposed to find out which ones early next week. The classes with only be 2-3 nights a week, so I can still find some other work. Good news is, the placement lady told me to come see her on Friday--she's being inundated with people wanting web design. Bad news is, she wasn't in her office on Friday. :( Oh, well. Monday is only a couple of days away!
I read a good portion of the "Save Karyn" book at Barnes & Noble the other day. I've been toying with the idea of starting a "begging website". I mean, people have sent gigglechick over $1,000 to buy a stupid car. I don't know, maybe I have too much self respect left. I just can't seem to do it. Things will go on sale on eBay this weekend, though and if some web work comes my way, I'll probably be ok. I'm considering selling my plasma again. I've just been so depressed about my finances, lately. My debt is way higher than I realized, my car is still having major problems, I recently got the bills from when I sliced my thumb open, I hate living in this trailer park, I really need to get software if I'm going to make a go of doing any sort of freelance design work. *sigh* Top it off with the fact that Marcus' employment future seems less than solid. No wonder I'm losing my hair and not getting enough sleep.
Well, speaking of sleep, I'd better go get some before I have to get to work. The stupid manager gets back from his vacation tomorrow and I want to get out of there before he "pops in" to see the assistant he is stalking. G'night.
