Long Time No Type

Current mood: bearmood — sick sick
Sorry there has been nothing but a couple of fluff posts the last couple of weeks. Between being sick and stressed and poor, I haven't felt like typing about it. I have, however, read a lot of Harry Potter fanfic and played a lot of solitaire. Oh, and I took a couple of classes at Archivers. That was fun. I've been saying I was going to go take classes ever since they first opened the Aurora store and that was over a year ago. I think I enjoyed the Holiday Paper Crafting one the best. We made a gift bag and a tag. The classes really push buying products, but hey, the classes are free.

I can't believe that Thanksgiving is less than a week away. Dad and I went shopping today for all the main stuff (turkey, potatoes, etc.). I'll have to get the perishable stuff (egg nog, etc) next week. That's so cool that you can get 23 lb. turkeys at King Soopers for $8. Dad and I each bought one so that we're set for either Christmas or New Year's, too.

Semi-bad news on the school front. I've been thinking that I should quit once I get the class I need to finish my associate's degree and get on with my life (do I really need two bachelor degrees?). I've been waffling because there are some classes I still really wanted to take, but they're offered almost a year from now. I wasn't sure I wanted to spend money on a bunch of general ed-type classes. Well, I guess the powers that be made the choice for me. I'm almost at the cap for financial aid (thanks to all that money wasted going to that POS school CollegeAmerica). The financial aid lady says there is enough to take the class I still need, but not much more. *sigh* I don't really want any of the rest of the classes badly enough to find alternate funding, y'know? This has totally killed any ounce of enthusiasm I had for this Communication class I'm taking now. Top that off with the teacher assigning double chapters to be due next class period (the day before Thanksgiving) and having to take a make-up class on a Friday night to make up for a class she missed, I'm just not into it any more. Oh, and I finally wrote my paper about that movie Smoke. God, that was one drawn-out movie. It took my three times to get all the way through it because I kept losing interest.

I want to start my own business. All the signs are telling me I need to do this. Does anybody have $50,000 I can borrow?

OK, I guess I'll wrap this for now because I just realized it's almost midnight and I need to get up early. I've got to get two day's work done in the morning so I don't have to work on Sunday and I need to be out of there by 9 am so I don't run into my @ssh0le manager. I'm also going to have to scrape the car because it has started snowing. WhooHooo. Damn, I just remember I forgot to put gas in the car. Dang it!
