Yet more grumpiness

[Shrain]

Don't you hate it when you set your alarm wrong--like you put in the wrong hour? Say, 7:45am instead of 6:45am, so instead of getting up 15 minutes earlier than you normally would (at 7am) you wake up, horrified to learn that you have 15 minutes to get ready and then have to run the 1.25 mi to the subway station so that you're not late for work!! And then you get there just in time for a long, boring meeting in a room where the heat is stuck on the "Iguana" setting or something. *sigh*

Uh... yeah.

I'm grumpy because I have to write almost an entire story for Creative Writing that is due tomorrow (Yes I did start it before now, I'm not that big a procratinator! I just need massive rewriting).

[Lightning Eater]

how long did it have to be?

[Faster Master St. Pastor]

3-5 pages typed, 5-8 handwritten, but knowing me it'll end up being 10 or so typed. I tend to blow through limits like that.

[Lightning Eater]

what did the subject have to be about?

[Faster Master St. Pastor]

Science Fiction.

[Lightning Eater]

you're lucky, at my school there are barely any assingments like that, when we actually have to write short stories the topics are boring.

[Faster Master St. Pastor]

Where do you go to school?

My problem is that Fell's other half (my teacher) keeps giving out new assignments every week and a half or so.

don't you hate it when all the people around starts to fall apart and you can't do anything about it but pick up the pieces while you yourself crumble...

While you should help your friends, don't forget to allow yourself time to meditate or have a quiet time, something that will help you relax and recharge. Even if it's taking deep breaths for a few minutes, it might help you have more strength to deal with your friends' problems.

I HATE MY COMPUTER!

I barely made it to work this morning, and I worry that I won't be able to get home. The "minor" problem in my clutch that my brother says should require a $30 power bleed of the clutch has turned into a "must replace the master cylinder and the slave cylinder" situation, which involves taking the transmission apart, which means that $30 just turned into $850. Which I don't have. I didn't even have the $30. I paid $1000 for the Jeep in the first place! It's *so* not worth it.

I would drop the car and take the bus, if it didn't take over 2 hours to get to work, each way, from my house. Carpooling won't work. So I have to have a car, at least for the next 6 months while I live so far from work (oo, so far, all of 15 miles).

I just seriously don't know how to juggle it all. My computer's falling apart, my car is falling apart, my apartment is too expensive, student loans are due, and so on and on. I just can't pay for it all.

[Shrain]

Oh, crap, car trouble and bills are enough to make anyone grumpy. I'm sorry your car has betrayed you. Stupid little problems often turn out to be major headaches with cars.    
I'm crossing my fingers that when I drive to MA from UT, my car won't give me any trouble. (I'm just flying home and driving back). I -do- have to buy all new tires, though. How in the world can I afford to get any gifts for people this year??
Student loans really suck, too. I've got one in deferment and I cringe to think what the payments will be after all my Emerson loans. eeeek.
I hope that freelancing stuff might help out for you--like the photography and working for that journal.

[Faster Master St. Pastor]

Man, that makes what I'm grumpy about seem mild, hope everything turns out okay for you.

I'm grumpy because I got a huge headache today, which my mom says was probably a migrain. As a result I was unable to work on my story for Creative Writing, so i'll most likely be up late tonight--again.
