... the German is because RPing Prussia makes me want to learn it. SO FAIL!GERMAN \o

What? It's on my list of languages to learn. *plots buying dictionaries and grammar books*

Anyway. Today actually has a good ending. Even though I was running around like a chicken with its head cut off for most of the day--running on 3 bottles of Vault caffeine (fucking Vault ZERO) and pure will and determination.

... though I should've added food to the mix. I chewed gum for most of the day instead.

Reading and understanding and speaking French while sleep deprived is always fun. For some reason though, I was reading better than this one guy who is hoping to get an apprenticeship or something overseas because he's graduating. I guess that makes me feel better? Like I've come a long way since I first started. That phonetics course really did help a lot.

And then in band, oh boy. Reading music in 140+ tempo with running 16th or 8th notes so damn fun when you're ready to just pass out. I almost started laughing out loud in the middle of the set, just because I was at that feels-drunk state of sleep deprivation. I think... idk...

And then I ate a hamburger and crashed. Hard. For four hours or so. When I woke up, my sister had stocked up the snack foods and said I was free to have half of it. She even let me have 1/2 the parfaits, though I know she loves 'em. So I ate one because it's light and my stomach was hating me for not eating much and stuff...

And now I'm ready to pass out again. Alarm's already set for 7AM and... yeah. Today's been pretty good even if crazy and hectic and stuff. I know this kind of shit isn't good for me, but you know? It's good to know that I can still persevere through things if I really try. I've been giving up a lot more lately than I had thought.

*curls up on someone*
.

I FEEL LIKE I'M WIN AND AWESOME.

M-mostly because I didn't punk out of attending class because I was tired and wanted to sleep in. This has been a chronic problem of mine since last Winter a-and I'm finally defeating it. \o;;

Beyond that, I was able to get a nap in before band.

In band we played Bach's Prelude and Fugue in A-flat and jfsdahksa I love Bach. :< I want to listen to some classical music now.

And just the random happy hyperness of pre-Christmas break.

All of this in spite of my female body rebelling against me. CURSE YOU, BODY OF MINE. *waves fist at*

... who wants/needs cuddles right now? I feel very much like snuggling with people.
.

Sometimes I hate band.

Mostly it's because it eats my life during holidays.

So I might not actually have very long to spend with my parents this Christmas holiday. Because Louisiana Tech will be playing at the Independence Bowl... in Shreveport. And my band director wants us there on the 26th when the game is on the 28th.

... FUCKING HELL, JROB. SHREVEPORT IS LIKE AN HOUR AWAY. WHY THE FUCK DO WE HAVE TO TAKE AWAY FROM OUR FAMILY TIME TO GO TO THIS WHEN IT'S JUST FUCKING SHREVEPORT?!

Maybe if were an out-of-state bowl game, I wouldn't be so bitchy about it, but as is...

Just goddamnit.

*goes to find things to cheer herself up*
.

... orly?

In today's news, nothing interesting happened today. Well, I lie. Band was interesting. If only because I was hyper as hell and no one else... was. Not in the clarinet section anyway.

I get tired of having to act in a way everyone else expects. Yeah, people. I am a tight-ass. I am a stick-in-the-mud. I am a pessimistic bitch who can and will stamp on your hopes and dreams and shuns your attempts to socialize with me. But not always. I like acting like a kid. I like enjoying the ridiculousness of having a band rehearsal when night's falling. I like yelling "FUCK YEAH!" at everything because I'm loving everything and the world and want everyone else to feel the same.

Don't fucking give me these looks that say "She's such a kid." I always want to flip off and give a hearty "Fuck you!" to people who do give me those looks.

I like to play in the rain. I like to sing and dance randomly. I like to talk loud and shout at the top of my lungs that I love the world. I like and want to do these things when I'm on an up. I'm on an up now and I feel fucking great. Especially since I'm finally getting over some of my issues, even though I know something'll eventually come along and knock me down from my up.

And even when I rant about this? I still fucking love you people who give me those looks. Because of you, I realize I'm happier than you are. Because boy aren't you the pathetic people who shiver in the cold while I'm happily going, "Fuck yeah!" in an oblivious fashion to make the time pass faster.

... most hilarious thing is that I'll probably feel like an ass for posting this later. Right now, ahahaha, don't care! I still love everything~ ♥

And note before anyone can say anything: Yes, this is directed SOLELY at the band people atm.
.

So nice to have a short football game day.

Anyway, LA Tech won against Fresno State 38-35. It was a close game throughout but ahahaha, that field goal that one time really helped us. Nyah.

And now it's 6PM and I'm exhausted. I'll try not to take a nap, but I'm not going to be online much at all tonight, maybe. Will probably be reading and writing stuff, if anything. So... yeah.

Today definitely makes up for a very self-esteem shaking that I got last night. But yosh. Determined to work on that problem I had last night. Also, to work on the up-coming challenge. And hope that I'll succeed.

And now I go to chillax.

Later, all!
.

Well. Things continue to get interesting and leave me impatient for this quarter to end.

French class today was amazing in the fact that ma prof got locked out of her preferred classroom, so we had to go elsewhere and thus commences one of the most entertaining classes of this year! The topic of discussion today was le e muet, the silent E which is either pronounced with an "uh"-ish sound, par exemple le sond e dans "venir", or is at the end of a word and is silent-ish, comme le mot "je" ou "que".

Of course we had loads of fun when we got to the exercise where we had to not pronounce the E and kind of stumbled our way through saying phrases like "Tu te moques de ce que je pense," wherein some E's are silent and the others are pronounced. In this phrase the E's in the words "te", "moques", "ce", "je", and "pense" (the final E for "pense", that is) all have silent E's. So the sentence reads more like "Tu t'moqu'de c'que j'pens." Or something. IT'S HARD TO DESCRIBE WITHOUT THE PHONETIC ALPHABET THING.

But yeah. So much fun with that. Especially when I had to read a column of words aloud and ma prof goes all, "... D: How come you can do it so easily?" at me. Because she keeps saying le e muet and ahahaha. Fun stuff.

This up mood of course has nothing to do with the fact that I had over 12 hours of sleep and it was warmer today than yesterday. No, not at all.

... my sleep schedule is fucked because I go without sleep, get four hours, get four hours, then another 12 hours, then no sleep, then four hours, then four hours, etc, etc, ad nauseum...

Sob.

But anyway, fun times in French class and now I'm just chilling and... god, tomorrow is going to suck if I can't get to bed at a decent hour (i.e. not 4AM) tonight. I'll have to get some sleep aid to help me with that. Because I have busy busy day tomorrow thanks to that damn Homecoming parade the band has to be in. Did I mention how much I hate Homecoming? And especially ones that are on Halloween weekend? Yeah.

I always love me shallow homecomings where all the girls look the same--this is why I was awed by this story I saw on Glenn Beck the other night (it's been ages since I've seen his show, really), where a girl with Down Syndrome got the crown. Although it does make me sad to think some people probably voted with a pity vote, but I think that girl deserved it more than some of the barbies who tend to get the crown. Bleh.

No offense to anyone on my flist who has ever been Homecoming Queen. I'm a bitter (mostly because of other things not involving the Homecoming thing at all, really), unpopular girl who never gets awards though mostly because I don't try for any of them.

But aside from my being disgruntled about Homecoming this weekend, I'm just all set and ready for the quarter to end so I can go and visit my sisters and brother-in-law and baby nephew WHO IS FREAKISHLY TALL. He's up to my hip already and he's only TWO. Big boy is big! D'awwwww.

Anyway, leaving the post here before I babble about something else!
.

Art Appreciation is good and dropped. Miss Donna, the secretary of the Foreign Language Department, suggested I attempt Dance Appreciation instead. Well, Foon/Shiz is taking that next quarter, so I'll just wait until the Spring to see if it's the thing for me or not.

In addition, I made Wind Ensemble (top band) in Band. Not too much to cheer over since there was only 4 bass clarinets, including myself. And I made second chair in the band, so...

But still +$75 per quarter, huzzah~ Not only that but at least I won't be bored to tears and feel like not showing up for band this year. Definitely not. This is top band. We get the fun stuff. And by fun, I mean difficult. And hopefully I won't suck so hard because there's another bass clarinet unlike my sophomore year.

Also, happy to note that setting my alarm clock two hours before I have to get up is A++ idea. Because I reset it for an hour and then another hour and then go to myself, "... okay, you've slept long enough." Huzzah for tactics like that being used to keep me from over sleeping \o

I also ended up offering my services as a French major to help out someone I knew in high school with their French since they have to take 2 more courses of it. I uh... dunno if this was a good idea or not, because I avoid people I knew in high school like the plague but siiiigh. Oh well.

And that is all for now. Hope everyone's day is going well~
.

So. The reason why I wasn't online Friday night?

The internet servers for pretty much all of campus was DOWN. I mean down in the sense that I walked in around 8 or 8:30PM ready to work on my CFUD app and stuff only to find that I couldn't log in. I waited about an hour, then left, thinking I could get some sleep in, come back, and it would be up. No such luck. I returned at 2AM only to find it was still down. Tried logging in for another 30 minutes until I got beyond frustrated and asked the person at the desk if I should hold my breath on the servers being up soon. She said, "Not likely. They'll probably get around to it tomorrow afternoon."

... lol. I had a football game day. And those are an all-day thing for the band.

So I thought I'd try my bo-bo'd up laptop to get on, but EL OH EL, the internet wasn't working in my dorm either. BRILLIANT.

I was actually tempted to annoy some people and text message the whole of my app to them or something but decided against it, even though I feel horrible because this is the THIRD MONTH IN A ROW that I've failed at sending in an app. Orz. Life why are you topping me?

Anyway, besides me bitching about the internets failing me, this is me reassuring people that I'm doing better, my throat is healing (lol, 3 prescription medicines helping with that, uwah--and actually I forgot to bring with me the one with a strict regime... damn. will walk back and get it when I get my "lunch") and not so hurty anymore! Part of the reason is also because I didn't play on my clarinet much or yell and scream at the football game (we won: 41 to 23 or something like that. wh00twh00t).

So yeah. Doing better in that department. As for Saturday's schedule? It was insane.

7:30AM - Wake up
8AM - Rehearsal
9:45AM - Breakfast
10:40AM - Parade over to Railroad Park for Pep Rally
12PM - Lunch
1PM - Performance at Time Out For Tech at Howard Auditorium
2:30PM - Get a ride to the stadium
3:30PM - Walk of Pride performance
~4PM - Parade to the President's house
~5PM - Parade into stadium
~6PM - GAME TIME
~11PM - Leave stadium

... *falls over and whines*

I ended up going to bed at 2AM and waking up at 2PM. Lolz. Mmm sleep. I love you~

And yeah, fun stuff.

So how's everyone else been?
.

Just got back from a Pep Rally and goddamn it, I miss having in-door pep rallys. Freakin' mosquitoes were eating us ALIVE, I swear. And now my legs itch like crazy DX

And before I get started on this post, let me just say that... guys? I know not to do a lot of those things I ranted about before. Like a said. "Me" is a smart person, apparently. And knows not to. But it's always there, that sort of thing. But I'm too much of a control freak to do anything of the sort. ... at least not to the point of addiction.

But thanks for the advice and such? It's just very frustrating sometimes when people tell me "You don't get it" when they talk about those kinds of things. And yes, I don't get it. Mostly because I can't stand not being in control of myself. So probably a lot of those people "don't get it" about control freaks and things like that. Meh.

Anyway, on to more happier subjects or something.

Today, I slept through my classes. Mostly because I was feeling absolutely horrible. Not because of my sleeping schedule, surprisingly. But more because of the fact that the pre-mature weather change from highs of 100 to highs of 80 got to my immune system. Not only that but it's been dry as fuck over here--was 100% humidity, now it's closer to 60%. It's murder on my poor throat which I need to speak French and play my clarinet.

So yeah. I was sick. And couldn't get the energy to get up, coughing like crazy, throat burning and sob. I took one tablet of aspirin in hopes that it would help, but of course it didn't. Silly me. Thankfully, my throat seems a lot better for it since I'm a chatterbox in my classes or something, going to class would mean I would end up talking and using my throat and that would aggravate it worse.

But I did end up going to band, because we had a pep rally right after rehearsal and those are worth like my entire grade if I don't show up without a proper excuse.

Meh.

I'm actually going to head to bed early tonight--like only gonna be online till 11PM over here at the latest. Because ahaha, I need a good amount of sleep if I want my throat to get better and my immune system to kick back into gear. Trust me, I'm not the only one having troubles with the sudden change in weather. It's horrible really--even if the temperatures feel so nice.

Besides that... huh. I dunno.

Okay, I'm bored.

MEME!

Since there's so many new people on my flist and such, let's get to know each other! Ask me a question and I will answer and then ask you a question which you will then answer before asking me another question! And on and on with the circle of life and all that jazz!

You know you love it, okay go.
.

And I'm too lazy to change my LJ layout anymore atm.

Will probably do something with it later. *shrugs*

Anyway, got out of band 30 mins early. Am lazing around, though I am also trying to find the energy to go out and socialize. I dunno if people get this or not, but I burn out from being around people so often. Work and band especially burn me out. Not that I have work yet. Need to apply to the Subways in town but band camp eats my soul and fdjkagfd...

Will hopefully be able to get things done on Sunday whenever I DON'T have a full day to do things.

... right. Food first, then attempt at socializing.

Lol, I really faaaaail at life atm.
.

Busy busy busy...

So. Band camp is eating my soul and not only that but I have to be in a Wind Ensemble to welcome the new freshmen. I did it last year so... I guess you could say I'm old-hat with it but still. Argh.

Anyway, so people don't hate me for my spastic postings until school starts, this is my schedule for the week:

Tues-Fri (8/26 - 8/29)
8AM to 11AM - Grinder (marching)
1:30PM to 2:30PM - Sectionals
3PM to 4:30PM - Full band rehearsal
6:30PM to 8:30PM - Grinder (marching)

Sat (8/30)
8AM to 10AM - Pre-game rehearsal (on marching field)
10:30AM to 12PM - Pep Rally
3PM to 10PM - GAME

Sun-Tues (8/31-9/2)
6PM to 8PM - Wind Ensemble rehearsal

Wed (9/3)
5PM to 8PM - Freshmen Convocation performance

... sob.

So yeah, busy. Not only that, but I have to fix up my schedule, confirm it, and be ready for school by the 3rd. Classes start on the 4th.

Of course, it could be worse, but yeah. Tired.

Hope everyone else is doing well~ I'll just be too tired to talk online until at least band camp is over. Sob.
.

I am fully moved into dorms yet again. And by fully, I mean I'm unpacked. And it only took 10 hours or so to load things up, unload things, carry them up a flight of stairs, get my stuff from the storage building (IN ONE HAUL \o), unload them, carry them up a flight of stairs, and then COMPLETELY unpacking.

... because I have band camp starting this weekend.

So yeah. My roommate is my younger sister Foon/Shiz and since we have two fridges (one will be used as a freezer) and a microwave and... quite a number of eclectic posters and wall scrolls on our walls... and my shelves full and our desks and shelves there full... it looks like our theme is "Randomness" or "ADD" or "Hey, look at all the things I'm interested in!" because... yeah, wow.

Part of the reason we both brought everything we own is because the parents are moving to another state. No empty nest syndrome for my mom is she's too busy moving on with her life, herself, hopefully. Hopefully it all work out on that front.

For now, it's me and Foon/Shiz for almost a year here. We don't really have any plans after that, so we'll see what happens.

And damn my legs and arms hurt. Let it be noted that I hauled probably over 400 pieces of red tile on and off the truck for my mom yesterday? And then there was splitting the work of loading, unloading, and carrying between my sister and I and... exhaustion.

... will sleep when I finish my CFUD app.

Thankfully, tomorrow is only rookie band camp. Sunday is gonna be my first day of band camp, I think. I am so going to be sore in the morning...
.

Oh yeah.

Last minute apping and then Nodame J-drama.

...

*cries like a little girl over the ending--THESE ARE THE ENDINGS THAT KILL JEVA THE MOST YOU KNOW*

Honestly, watching it just makes me want to be in band again. I can't wait for school to start again so I can play music. Not like ZOMG AWSUMly but... just to play music again--and this time I WILL PRACTICE! \o

S-same with foreign language classes, WILL STUDY.

... same with all classes really...

God, I love music so damn much. I want to go see a live orchestra now.

... I actually wanted to play a string instrument when I first started my music education. Sadly, the string teacher quit when I got to sixth grade. Ah well...

And now I'm remembering the taste of a fresh, new bass clarinet reed. Mmmmmmmmm...

Yes, I am a dork. Get over it.

*goes to cry summore as she keeps wondering why the hell she's still awake*
.

Have a concert today.

Yes, playing IN the concert.

L-lolz.

I dun wanna do this.

Not because I'm worried about playing correctly...

Simply because I hate dressing up.

I hate it so much.

*wearing simple black dress pants and a nice black shirt with her hair down*

I really, really don't like dressing up.

;o;


EDIT: Can't find my dress shoes.

... *wears black work-shoes*

No one will notice >.>;;;


EDIT: 3:40PM - Concert over. My lips hate me. DX
.

... Mr. Robken = best band director evar.

He just emailed me from San Antonio, because it turned out he was out of town until Monday, telling me that he would do the letter of recommendation there and over-night it to CODOFIL. Also, he did, indeed, say that it was cool that I took a quarter off from band.

I could so cry with joy right now.

And now I need to get going.

Here's to hoping everything will work out!


EDIT: 10:09AM - Currently in computer lab. Need to do a check list.

1. CODOFIL application - Check.
2. 2 Letters of recommendation - Check. One on hand and the other will be sent off.
3. 2"x2" passport photo to be pasted onto the CODOFIL application - Check.
4. Letter of movitivation - Check. Just need to get the final approval from Dr. Dolly.
5. Big envelope thing to send this all in - Check.

...

So pretty much all I need to do is make it to the post office and overnight this sucker, and I'm done.

Good lord, this week has been so damn rough.

And with this out of the way, I can start freaking out about that 5-paged paper due Monday. Lolz.


EDIT 2: I'M SO GOING TO BUY MR. ROBKEN A HUGE TEDDY BEAR.

And I'm sure Dr. Dolly would like something similar as well.

*PLOTS*
.

Counseling sessions always make me feel a bit better.

Totally more awake now even though I'm running on 5 hours of sleep.

I even got to babble about my Murderer fic in session today~ |D

But yeah.

Got a phone call near the end of my session.

Twas the oral interviewer dude.

I did manage to get that time slot and do have an interview at 5:30PM today.

...

OH THANK GOD.

*very nearly cried with joy right in front of her counselor*

Srsly, though, I think I startled him with my suddenly exclamation when I hung up. XDD;;;

Ah well...

I had told him that I was planning to go to Monroe just in case, anyway, but it's really nice to know that I did manage to get that time slot.

Now I need to get all of the rest of this scholarship business out of the way and I'm set.

... I think I'll email Robken, asking if he's willing to write me a quick letter of reccommendation and telling him that we need to talk about my continuing involvement in the band. Because I think I still want to be involved with it... just not this next quarter. If I keep with it this next quarter, I will burn out and I will come to hate band.

So yeah.

Mostly got that squared away thanks to talking it out with counselor-dude >.>;;;

Also.


Dear Dr. Dolly,

I love you. You are a wonderful person and you have helped me out when I've needed help the most, but when I put Chemistry in the alternate slot, it does not mean I am discounting it as an option to take it in the Spring. I will not drop the idea of taking the Creative Writing course and you should know me better than to think I would.

But thanks for trying to help me out in regards to all of that. I have thought this out quite often, though.

Much love,
Jazz.



Yeah. And now... I should get food. Or something.

*sighs*

Long day today~ Dunno when I'll be back in Ruston... at least I have some bit of that 31_days scene that I'm supposed to post today. >.>;;

Anyway, hope everyone's day is going well (we have pouring rain outside--my socks are wet DX)!

You know how you sometimes get that feeling of just... wanting to lay down and not move or do anything or think or anything for a while? And if you do want to move or think, it's for something that you like doing?

I am so burnt out with classes, it's not even funny.

And I'm still trying to make the scholarship thing work. Even if it probably won't. Because I waited too long or something. Hah. Just my luck.

But really. These are the kind of days where I wish I wasn't a sensible person so I could just quit school and become a hobo for the rest of my life. Sadly, deep-seeded fear of ever ending up in the bottom of the pit--hell, maybe UNDER the pit--keeps me from doing anything so drastic.

I wish I could drive.

I want to travel.

I want to get out.

I feel so damn stuck.

And I know it's all in my head, mostly. Because I'm scared I'm going to make another C in French. I'm scared that I'm going to totally get a C in Sociology due to my apathy on the subject and the way it's taught.

And I'm scared of talking to Mr. Robken about my not wanting to be in band anymore while also wanting to ask him for a letter of recommendation.

Just how am I supposed to handle a situation like that? "Mr. Robken, I know you're the head band director and you adore band and think that no one can go without music, but I am fucking burned out and don't fucking care anymore about dealing with this crap anymore. Let me go to my creative writing class finally, damn it!"

... yeah. Thought not.

I didn't go talk with him before 4 because I am exhausted. I do, however, plan to jump him after band rehearsal today. Meaning that at 6:30, I will be there to talk with him about some things. Even if he wants to head straight home.

Yes, I'm a cruel bitch.

But seriously, I'm so tired. And even if I get that mess out of the way, I have to write a letter of motivation--about 3 full paragraphs long in French. And I have to get my official transcript from Keeny Hall and we all just love seeing how many C's we've made in our time at university. I'm just glad that there aren't any D's there. Yet.

I wish I didn't care anymore about where all of this will lead, but I do care.

And that fucking sucks.

...

Sotired...
.

I think I'll be dropping band next quarter.

I love band. I love to play the music. And I love the people I've met because of it.

But it takes too much time from my schedule, only pays me $800/year for doing shit that the fucking cheerleaders get paid a hell of a lot MORE to do, it ISN'T my major, and this is like the THIRD damn time it's conflicted with my own personal interest--i.e. writing.

So yeah.

I guess that's it.

I'm sorry but there's just more cons than pros right now. I've stayed with band because I needed that little bit of money and I hoped that it would cheer me up like it did in high school.

But I have a job now and can take out another loan if need be and pay for it all myself if need be. And it's not fun anymore. It's just work. I've skipped band more this quarter than any other quarter before, not because I figured I could, but because I didn't want to go.

So it's been fun, but...

I dunno. I need that time that band takes out of my schedule--for work, for studying. I'm a Junior now and will be a Senior next year. So... yeah.

I can't afford to stay in it anymore.

Reda, Bryce? I know you guys are going into band when you get back here and I wish I could be there with ya'll when you do, but I just can't anymore. I need to actually focus on my majors and not something I'm in just because it used to be fun. It's not fun anymore. It's WORK.

I mean, even when I stress the fuck out over French, I'm still having fun with it. Because there's stuff to learn, there's people who help me improve--it's my kind of thing. Band... has stopped being that. I sit there, I'm bored, I'm not improving anymore than I had been before--in fact, I'm getting WORSE in my performance because I'm BORED by it all...

I dunno.

I just want to improve on something else that I have a passion for--and that's my writing. But if band's going to keep me from doing that even though band is becoming work for me, then I need to let it go.

Hell, maybe with me out of band, Fall Quarter won't try to keel me ded so hard anymore.


In other news: This is the first day that I have not felt COMPLETELY exhausted and just plain SICK to my stomach. It's awsum that I'm getting over the things that have been making me so stressed out. Even though I might have failed that French test, that's ONE LESS problem to worry about and I can look forward and actually DO my assignments and work harder to maybe getting an A for the next test.

Maybe.

For now, I'll just finish working on my paper.

EDIT: IT IS $800 A YEAR, NOT $300. THAT IS ALL.

Okay. So.

I might be skipping both Band and Foreign Lang today.

Thankfully, I have never skipped Foreign Lang, so I'm cool in that aspect. Band, however... well, my grade might get knocked down by a few points since this is probably past the 3rd time. But really. I need to get these things done. The French paper, a review for that Sociology test today...

Sacrifices have to be made and I know I'll have a lot to make up for come Tuesday, but it's either this or something like not turning in that paper which will affect my grades more strongly. And really, Dr. DeMattos has been extremely kind in being willing to accept a 2-week-late paper. Even if he might dock me for a ton of points because it was that late. I think he also wants to talk with me one on one and if I do talk with him, I'll get a "Prioritize your time" spiel, which I do try to do, but I do have avoidance tendencies. There's not much I can do about that except try to curb the need to run away.

Ah well. We'll just have to see.


EDIT: I should probably add to say that Band is at 12PM and Foreign Lang is at 2PM. So there's a chance I will go to one but not the other. Like I said, we'll have to see.


EDIT 2: Oh, I forgot to mention.

Got paid yesterday.

$311.17 for 55.19 hours of work while working for $6.50/hour.

... which is like... what? $35 more than what I thought it was going to be?

See, this is why I like the way I do my finances. I always underestimate my paycheck and get a pleasant surprise~

Sadly, $135 will have to go towards paying off the school since I ended up with a private room. Another $120 or so will go towards the final payment of my glasses. And the rest... savings. So I'll get my savings from it's present $360--finally put that damn hundred in my safe where it belongs instead of keeping it behind my ID in my wallet in hopes it won't get noticed or stolen, hurhurhur--to hopefully at least $400.

And looking at the timestamps going toward this next paycheck, I estimate getting around $250-ish. If not more. But I'll stick with $250 for now. It's still a nice and shiny number. And pretty much all of that will be put into my savings which will give me around $650. Which is $100 more than what I had before Christmas.

Question: If I do get a scholarship to go to like Nova Scotia or something, how much do you think airfare would be? Because I figured that I will have my cake AND eat it too. In other words: I am going to save up for enough money for the downpayment, first rent, and utilities for an apartment and THEN save up for airfare. I figure $800 for the apartment deal and... maybe $1000 for the plane ticket? And then some for spending monies while up there?

Counting my chickens before they hatch. But hey. I can do other things with this money if things don't work out if I really want. Like visit my peeps up in the midwest. *waves to Candy and Heather and Socchan* Or something. I dunno. Hell, I can put it towards getting me a PS2 or something.

Just something to think about.

It means, HO SHIT THAT WAS A WONDERFUL PACKAGE.

Juuuuuuuuune~ You have my looooooooove~ ♥

In other news: Band was boring to the point of tears in which I had to listen to out of tune clarinets, I picked up June's package (ss-so expensive to send me stuff from there, man, u-uwaaaaah...), and ate Chik-fil-A.

Am feeling lively but tired at the same time.

Will continue on until 6PM when my Sociology class is over.

Watch me end up writing fics all through class again today. Ahahahaha...
