Since I know that no one really reads this anymore, I suppose there is no reason to say that I need to update. Truthfully, I have done nothing of any real interest recently. I graduated, but I still don't have a "real" job. I hate my current job. I work maybe twenty-some hours a week - nowhere near enough to support myself.

I need to get out of my house pronto. I feel as though I'm under house arrest. It was a bad weekend here, but without delving into great detail, my mother yelled at me last night like never before and I feel like I don't know my finacee anymore. I'm having serious doubts about everything in life and want to get the hell away for a while. I want to flee the country at this point, but I have no money to do that. I can't up and move because I don't even know where I would go and I have too much stuff and no money.

Basically, I feel like I'm back in high school except that I have Kyle. But at this point, no offense to him, he's not helping me. He's the reason for this whole mess, aside from the fact that my mother blew it waaaay out of proportion. If she would calm herself for a minute, she would realize that it's not as big of a deal as she making it and that it's not my fault.

This is vague, I know, but I don't feel like repeating everything that went on. It sucks and I'm tired of talking about it, tired of thinking about it, but now it is a constant presence in my stupid life.

Hmm... I think it's been a while.

I've been consumed with getting through school. That and MySpace and Facebook are what all my friends use, so I need them to keep in touch with everyone, and therefore this gets less and less use.

*sigh*

I'm having a sad moment. I don't know why.

I guess that's all for now. It'll all be over soon, and I won't know what to do with myself. I might get to read some more... and learn to knit. And maybe watch some movies that I bought and never got to sit and watch.

That sounds rather pleasant.

After tonight's class, I will have two weeks left of classes. It's hard to believe... maybe it's because I just don't want to write another two papers or so. Or maybe it's because that means I'm that much closer to graduation, and therefore having to be in the "real" world. Or maybe it's because I really like having condensed classes and am not particularly looking forward to the fall semester.

I should be reading for class tonight, but I needed a break. I read Emerson's The Poet and started on Whitman's Song of Myself. It's not awful. But poetry makes my head hurt. That, and I ran out of chai :(

I'll get it all finished before class, though, I feel sure. I'm halfway through it and class doesn't start 'til 5:30.

Next week, I have a lot of reading to do. It's nothing I can't handle, but it's a lot of short stuff. But it includes Poe, so that will make it all better. I have a wedding to go to on Friday, too... not that it won't be fun, but I just have so much other stuff to do. I should probably have used the time to work on a paper... but oh well. I'll get it finished at some point.

In the meantime, I'm still looking for a "real" job, or at least one that isn't at Kohl's for right now. I still don't really know what I want to do once I graduate in January... I know that the smart thing to do would be to get a job and save up money to move out and all that. But what I really want to do is travel... and who knows? I might be able to get a better job by doing that first. I just don't know... but I need to figure it out soon.

Anyway, I've got things to do... not many, but some. And no more really interesting stuff to write about. Not that any of this was particularly interesting... but you know.

Well, it's back to school once again... After class tonight, though, I will have a measly four weeks until this session is over. Which is good, I suppose, as I will be closer to graduation. But at the same time, that's only 4 weeks to read a whole lot and write slightly less. So if you don't see me or hear from me, don't be offended... school takes over my life.

Not a whole lot else is going on. I'm going to see Gogol Bordello tonight, which ought to be a good time. I hope, anyway. I saw Harry Potter last week at midnight on Tuesday/Wednesday, and went to see Travis the next night. Travis was, by the way, amazing! I mean, I saw them before, but this was even better. PLUS I got to meet them... sort of. They walked through the audience to get up on stage, and they walked RIGHT BY US!!! I almost peed myself. Well, no, I didn't, but you get the idea.

Well, I'm off to read stuff that isn't the new Harry Potter book. I plan on reading most of what's dues next week so that I can screw around and read HP all weekend. It will take me about that long, I'm sure... I bet I'll finish on Sunday.

I can't say that I'm sorry this week is over. Well, almost.  

MURL is finished, and I think we did well. In fact, I think it's safe to say that I'll get an A in that class. As for statistics, I have my final on Monday, and that's open-book and open-notes. Huzzah! I think I'm going to do pretty well on that too.

I have to work tonight. And tomorrow. Fortunately, though, it's not too early tomorrow and I don't have to close. My first night back was crappy because I got stuck closing with Jay. Yikes. All the reasons that I hate my job came flooding back to me.

I think when I'm finally back at main campus, I'm going to get some help with my resume. I'm an idiot when it comes to that, because I don't know how to say what I mean without sounding stupid. In person, I'm fine. Interviews aren't too scary. But I want to be able to actually GET an interview!

Well, I have to finish my laundry and get back to the Smiths'. They're coming home on Sunday, so I'll be home then. Monday I have my final, and then I have Tuesday thru Thursday to take a breather before the second session. Of course, I don't think it's going to be so bad this time around. I'm almost looking forward to being lectured at!

That's all for now. I'm dreading going to work, but relishing in the fact that I will never have to see my one group member again, and enjoying the fact that I will be graduating sooner than I thought a few months ago. I'll just have to think of that to help get me through work.
