I have a marketing exam tomorrow that I havent studied for.  I dont even know what the topic is!  Oh I can easily look it up, but I've found that Im a real natural at mareking.  I never once studied nor read the book and I'm still getting nearly straight A's in that class ( Read more... )

So I was sitting on the subway train today, quietly reading the paper - it was flipped open to an article about the homeless on our streets.  And this middle-aged guy walks up to me and yells (yes, YELLED) that its "Those stupid college students who are responsible for poverty!"  I looked up at him and said, "Excuse me?"  He proceeded to yell at me ( Read more... )

I honestly love my job.  Despite that its a large retail store in a heavily populated area, my managers and co-workers make it all worth it.  I honestly believed my managers had every right to be angry with me for requesting two weeks off.  Why didnt they fire me? Why are they still nice to me?  I dont get it, but I realized that I would like to ( Read more... )

I have a hard time being open and honest with people about whats REALLY going on in my life.  I mean personal struggles, thoughts Im afraid to say out loud, or God forbid I mention my fears.  Part of me feels like I have to put on a face as if everything is A-ok, even if my world is falling apart.  Last night, I actually spilled some personal ( Read more... )

So I was reading stuff about hand-washing your clothes in a bathtub.  My apartment that Im moving into at the end of next month doesnt have laundry facilities, and Im always trying to save a buck or two.  According to the Internet, hand-washing clothes in a tub is effective yet hard labor. Eh. Might be stress relieving ( Read more... )

I GOT THE APARTMENT ( Read more... )

I went to look at an apartment today ( Read more... )

I just got off the phone with a potential roommate.  The apartment is just a few miles away from my school, and the rent is reasonable.   The only downfall is that my bedroom would literally be the size of a walk-in closet.  six feet wide only ( Read more... )
