Current mood: 
aggravated
I'm caught up on my bills after that horrible illness thanks to my tax refund. Now what happens? My car dies. So, not only do I have to use the money I'd finally saved up to get my annual exam and get back on my birth control pills, I can't get to work to make any additional money. *sigh* And.....why is it that my car always dies on the weekend?! It won't have problems on a Tuesday or anything so that I can get it into the shop right away. No, it always takes a dump on Friday or Saturday. The last time it died on a Friday AND right before my mechanic went on a vacation. Well, I'm going to look on the bright side: 1) it died at home, 2) at least it's not a timing belt that snapped like the car of my poor friend at school, 3) I didn't feel like driving tonight anyway, and 4) I'll get some work done on my portfolio this evening and do some housework that I've been letting slide (there's a desk under there somewhere!).
On a happier note, school is going well. Today we were playing with Macromedia Fireworks. It's a program (similar to Photoshop/Illustrator) mainly used for creating web graphics to import into Dreamweaver. I am so going to redesign my whole site (and update the content) when I have a chance. I have got to save some money (if things will stop going wrong) so I can get the software I need before I graduate. I can get the Macromedia Studio MX 2004 for $189.95 as a student. It's selling for $899.95 right now at Apple's web site. If I'm going to be a professional web designer, I'm going to have to get Flash. I'm also going to need the Adobe Creative Suite. I can get it for $379.95 and it retails for $1,229.95 on Apple's site.
