It's Tuesday and normally I'm full of enegry. However, I can't help but feel depressed. Why, you ask? Well, for the past two months I have run into a bit of a financial problem. It's a bit of a long story but since I have nothing else to do, I might as well let you all know. (Who knows, perhaps I'll even feel a bit better.)
I live in Los Angeles, CA and I love living here. It's close to school, work, friends, and I know my way around everything. Though, I still live with my parents I can pratically do anything I want. I don't pay any bills except for my own; like credit cards. I love every second of it.
However, last year my parents wanted to move to a big and better place. We, my parents, bro, and me went house hunting and found a house we all enjoyed. The only problem was that it was located in Palmdale, CA. About 1 hour and 10 minutes away from Los Angeles. At the time I didn't give it much thought at the time. Yet, when the time was drawing closer to move out. I told my parents I was not ready to move and thus, wanted to stay in Los Angeles.
They understood so, they left me the house. The agreement was I was to pay for the bills and visit them at least twice a week. I excitedly agreed. I work at a Pharmacy 20 hours a week and so, I thought I could handle it. However, my parents also stopped helping me pay for school. I received no cal grants, FA assistance, nor loans. I attend a Cal State University and pay about 1,000 dollars every three months, not including books. And mind you, I only work 20 hours a week because I'm a full time student taking between 14 - 18 units. Well, I handled the situation quite well for the first 4 months and just until 2 months ago I can't handle it.
My checking account is always at a negative balance. I go to summer school so, I asked my manager if he could give me some more hours. But, the extra hours that were avaliable was quickly taken by someone else and therefore, he can't. ARGH! It's so frustrating. I just called another pharmacy asking if they are in need of someone else. And the girl who answered the phone said that their manager just left for the day. And he'll be at work tomorrow. So, I'll just have to call again tomorrow and see if he can use another person. I hope so!!! *crossing fingers*
But on a more lighter note, I finished "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" about 2 and 1/2 days after the release of the book. And let me just tell you that I thought the book was good. Um, for some reason it wasn't my best book in the series. I don't know, I expected the book to be filled with action and more Voldemort.
In my opinion, this book was filled with information on Voldemort's past and not enough action. Yes, I know that finding out about Voldemort's past is important to beating him. And I totally agree, but wher was the action? I, by far, enjoyed the last couple chapters of the book. Now that was worth the read. Hogwarts being taken by Death Eaters, dueling inside the school, and the death of Dumbledore.
I had no idea he was going to die! I didn't expect that coming! WOW! And the turning of Snape and finally the building of Draco's character. I mean those are the things I enjoyed the most. I don't know if Snape is really evil but, I know I love how JKR shed more light on Draco. His character was great, I have no complaints.
However, the only complaints I do have are: the pairing of Harry and Ginny. I mean, YUCK!!! I thought I was going to vomit. I love Harry and I totally respect he's free to date whomever he wants . . . but with Ginny? And what was up with Hermione and Ron. Yes, I'm a Draco and Hermione shipper, but I didn't like some her attitudes towards Ron dating Lavender. I mean, I thought she was a bit OOC for my taste.
But, after all, this is my opinion and I totally respect others as well. I love the ending and can't wait to read book 7! I bit that'll be something to read!
Oh, and I recently wrote something. A little idea was flowing around in my head and I just had to write it down. On that note, I'm not usually a writter so I'm not the best author who writes a fic and gets hundreds of reviews. I'm merely content with the fact that I write for my own pleasure and don't expect to receive any reviews. But, please read; suggestions are always welcome!
