i'm so stressed about every single facet of my life atm...
i was hoping to finish my degree next term, but it's now looking like i'll have to stay over the summer to finish it up... this means that somehow, i now have to come up with summer tuition (i haven't been having to pay tuition due to my teaching position... but there are none over the summer)... that's like 6k right there... i doubt i'll be able to get instate tuition even though i've lived in this dang place (self supported during and NOT during school enrollment) because i never get breaks like that when i need them.
i also have to worry about getting myself some health insurance over the summer... i'm worried that my current plan wont insure me over the summer because i'm not coming back to teach in the fall... so i doubt i'll qualify.
i had to break down and get a roommate... because i finally got tired of eating bread with oil/vinegar for dinner every night (with some pizza and mac-n-cheese for some variety) and PBJ sandwiches and such by day... tired of living had to mouth... getting my paycheck only to immediately pay rent and pay off my credit card (only to start using it again THE SAME DAY)... let's not even get into the roommate aspect of this deal. it's only been a few days so far... but i just know i would be better off alone (if not only more hungry)... i'm still hoping for the best though... i don't get to spend much time at home anyway...
don't feel like venting the specifics of how crappy my last run of experiments went... it's just time consuming to have crap mess up because i don't have a lot of time as it is to devout to my research... with teaching and all... this last run of bad luck is probably going to be the big reason i have to stay during the summer anyway...
i work 7 days a week... the last break i had was at xmas... and before that... last xmas. i'm so friggin tired.
tired and horny.... with nothing to do about it. there's someone i like... but i think it's kinda unrealistic... but i just cant stop thinking about it... just chuck it right uptop on the frustration pile.
nothing is going right...
i need a pint. now accepting donations.
