Sunk low today.
I spent the last two months stretching myself thin, financially. Today it bit me in the ass.
The sister school of my normal school wants tuition, even though the only reason I am taking a class there is because my school went off and reduced their English program... So, there's money I don't have. Then, my Japanese class needs the same books from the previous class. I wasn't planning on taking the series just the single class, so I sold the old books and tossed all my notes. So... I needed the books again. The program that helps me with the books; which incidentally the only reason I am having to take Japanese 2 & 3 unplanned is because my councilor from that program missed that I needed 1 year of foreign language for my BA; will not repurchase the books, so there's another $100 I didn't have that I needed to fork over.
Anyway. Bad day. Sunk low. Had to ask my Uncle for a loan of $100 to afford gas because I am completely tapped out after all that shit.
Engine is whining, thought it was just because of the cold. Then I thought about maybe the oil is low. Get out to check the oil with my maglite. One of the batteries busted inside and wedged itself in the body to a point that I can't get it out...
OH! And financial aid is giving me shit because I am taking classes at two schools. I need to sign some damn contract in order to get my aid, which would be easy, but I need that contract signed by my councilor who knew I needed to take this class at the other school LAST QUARTER and could have told me about this contract and had me sign it THEN... But now... I had to make an appointment just to get her to sign it.
Good news.
A cute girl from a class three quarters ago or so has been talking to me a lot recently. I had been seeing her here and there when leaving the house for school. I just figured she was babysitting someone or something. Apparently she was kind of sitting someone, she was caring for her grandparents as they both died over the last six months down the street. Saw her the other day on my way to class and she told me they both passed and now she was moving across town. Since then, she asked me for my FB and shes been chatting me up a bit. So there's that.
My sister is due soon and hopefully I will have a happy and healthy new Nephew this month.
My brother is still off Meth and is realizing he too needs to hep out my Mom. He and I had our first long phone conversation, ever I believe, and we discussed painting my Mom's house this Summer. He seemed really excited to chip in, finally.
I hope that between myself and my other brother doing the right thing the one living at my Mom's will start to fly right.

arroia:
Shit, that is not good at all (except the cute girl and the part about your brother). What will you do now, have you got a plan B?
fellonearth:
I hate feeling stretched thin, but I'm really feeling the crunch too (tuition increases have really taken a bite out me this past year, right along with everything else seeming to be a bit more expensive). Hope that situation improves for you, and good luck with the girl.
