Still reading "Lolita" and I love it.. It's quixotic and sad. I can relate to it in some strange ways. And by that I don't mean that I jerk it to pre-pubescent girls. I can relate to the yearning and the shame, along with the loneliness, the boredom. It's all there. It also has some funny bits in there, but I'm not sure many other people would laugh at them like I did.
Anyway, I'm getting through it slowly, reading here and there when I have a few minutes to spare.
Work is consuming me. I'm getting behind on school, but I'm going to try and remedy that by really buckling down this week and next. I got my money back from my school loans (what was left after my expenses went through). Exactly $932.25. I put $132 in my checking account and the rest I gave to my mom to put in her savings account for safe keeping, so I don't spend it. Now I have something to move out on, along with whatever I save up between now and May.
I'm so fucking excited to move out! I'm already checking out prospects in the papers, on Craigslist, and whatnot. There are quite a few 1BR places that are reasonably priced that I've found already. I can only imagine how many more will turn out when the end of school gets closer. I'm looking for a 1BR apartment or a studio. Something pretty cheap (less than $500/mo).
I'm also going to try to save up for my next tattoo. I want to get my other shoulder piece to match The Last Unicorn - it's going to be The Red Bull. It should be really badass. I want to add more stuff around the unicorn, too, though. I'm supposed to be getting a tattoo Saturday for fun, because my sister's tattooist friend is in town and doing discount tats. Not sure what I'm getting then yet, but I want to get a tattoo for my mom and/or sister. I was thinking of getting two yellow fish (both of their favorite colors are yellow and they're both Pisces). If not, then I want a classic "Mom" tattoo with a heart on my arm or forearm. Not sure, though.
OH! I have a microwave in my room now, too! Woo! My sister gave me her extra one because the apartment they moved into has one mounted in the cabinet above the stove. Now I don't have to go use the microwave in the smelly lounge.
French class is going alright.. slow progress. I'm way out of practice and have forgotten too much of the grammar. It's coming back slowly, but I'm trying to be ultra-attentive in class. I just wish I could do one thing at a time. I'd rather just go to France and learn there firsthand. How crazy would that be?
The last few nights I've been having weird dreams and waking up in the middle of the night, around about the same time every night. I wake up hot and sweaty, thirsty, and panicky almost, around 2:30-3:00 a.m. Not sure what that's about, but I'm guessing I'm dehydrated. That and very stressed, mentally and physically.
I'm gonna get outta here right quick.. My English class is at 12:30 and I want to get some study time in before I have to leave.
A bientt, mes amours!
