(no subject)
I made grilled cheese today for lunch, and it was really yummy.
Anyways, this summer is very different from last summer. I'm not sure whether it is better or not. I think my biggest complaint is having to share a car. But I guess that's better than having no car at all, so I shouldn't be complaining. I really want the Ford Bronco on Welsh Rd. It's $1,500 for a car that is in pretty good condition. I wish I didn't have to save so much for everything else, because I would probably go out and buy it, lol. But then there's insurance too, which I could NEVER afford during the school year. So, I guess every time I drive by the car I will just look at it in admiration.
I want the textbook list to come out already so I can start purchasing my books and therefore knowing how much I have to spend on those and how much I can spend on fun stuff for the dorm/iPOD!!! Okay, I'm really debating on the iPod issue. I am so picky. I think that the 80GB is too big, but the 30GB I feel is too small. I want something that's going to last me a while, not take a huge chunk of change out of my pocket, and be of good quality. I wish they sold the 60GB still. I think that would be perfect. It also makes me sad that I don't get a student discount on the iPod. I could get a refurbished 80GB for $279, almost the same price as a new 30GB. I don't really wanna spend that money though. BAH! However, although I am not one to HAVE to follow the trend, everyone at school has an iPod. At LEAST in the music school, or some sort of MP3 player. I have my Zen, but it doesn't work with my mac, so I was just going to give it to my dad. It's 20GB, which was good for me for a while, but not so much, especially since it isn't mac compatible. It think it would be nice for him to just have it all on one thing instead of all the CDs that he has in his car. Lol.
I'm starting to get really bothered by somethings, like I'm not allowed to have possesion of my passport. Why? I don't understand. Yes, Canada is only four hours away from Ithaca, but guess what, I wanna go to Canada and see Matt. I'm twenty years old. I think I deserve to have my own personal information. Don't get me started about going to doctors. I finally went to the eye doctor (which the only thing that was found was that my eyesight has decreased a little bit and that I'm getting new glasses because they're free). However, for example, the GYN? You're suppose to start going to one once you're 18 or once you've become sexually active. Um, I'm 20. Never been. That's TERRIBLE. I'm not going to lie and say that I'm not scared at all. I'm terrified of going because I've never gone, but I know that's what I need to do. However, I want my mom to go with me, not stay in the room with me, but at least go with me and give me support for thet first time. I think after I know what to expect, I'll be fine. I already know what to expect, but I just am afraid of it.
I also hate how I just can't go and do what I want/need to do. At college I am totally on my own. I go out with friends at 10:00pm (which my mom thinks is extremely late, wtf?), I stay out until four in the morning on weekends, I make my own schedule, I go and eat when I want, etc. I don't see why I can't do those things now? I mean, classes/working defines my basic schedule. After that everything varies. My mom lives a very set routine. I don't want a routine when it comes to my free time. I don't want to eat the same thing every Wednesday (except for in school when it's chicken finger tuesday!!). I don't know. It bothers me. I think too much independence kills you when you come home.
I know that I don't always have the facts. And I accept being wrong graciously (I would like to hope). However, when something is my opinion, opinions aren't wrong. I'm not stating fact, I'm stating opinion. It bothers me when people attack my opinions (I enjoy debating, and sometimes people sway me over to their point of view, but I mean saying that I'm just wrong for having that opinion period). That's really all I have to say over that matter.
I'm, really proud of myself, for holding three jobs. Once job I never work at, and the other two I work a lot. The problem with the DJ job right now is that there's not a lot of buisness during this time of year (apparently). Once wintertime hits I think that I'll get more gigs. However, I do enjoy babysitting (sometimes) and I love some of the people at Genaurdis. It's awesome when I get a bag boy to do my groceries. It's wonderful. Not only do they bag everything, they're hilarious and fun to talk to. I've never really have held a real job before (except for Sears, and we all know how that turned out). Genaurdis I might hold onto for a while, until I find something better. I would like to go and do something that relates closely to what I'm going to persue in my career of choice. Like, it would be awesome maybe to get good enough at piano and teach beginners how to play, intern at a radio station, shadow a teacher, perform with a band, work in a sheet music store, etc. I think all that would be awesome, and I think that the DJing gig is also good, but it would be fun to do something closer to music. *shrug*
Sorry for such a long post. Now I shall go do nerdy things on the computer.
