Okay, you know you are getting old when you can no longer sleep on a couch without waking up stiff and sore. Remind me next time to buy an air mattress the next time company comes over. Sleeping in the bed for the last few days has helped but I feel entirely wiped out - I am beginning to think I am catching a cold or something of the sorts, although I am not coughing or whathaveyou, I just feel achey and crappy the last few days, almost like someone has taken a knife and just jammed it repeatedly between my ribs on my left side.

I’ve got to call my old high school next week and totally blast them for not sending my stupid transcripts over. If I don’t get a copy of those and from the other school, they can’t calculate my Financial Aid and I will not be able to afford classes this semester. How stupid. All it’s come down to is transcripts and I just want to rip my hair out. Though I am quite certain that once I am back in school I will be wishing I wasn’t! I keep wanting to change my math professor to the one my sister had recently but don’t know if I want to do that. My sister and I learn completely different and what she says was good for her may not be good for me.

They have an orientation the beginning of August that I need to RSVP for and I’ve marked it big, black and bold on my dayplanner. Funny how when I was younger I could have notes thrown everywhere and know where everything is, but now as an adult, I have to have things neat and organized! I never thought I’d see the day. I mean, it’s strange to think that I’ve got my big folder with all the bills (marked ‘paid’ on them with purple pen), my day planner and sticky notes that even just three years ago, I would have been fine with just letting the crap pile up! Anyway, the orientation is from 6-8 on August 4th and providing I get those documents from both of those schools, I don’t see why I shouldn’t attend, you know? Maybe I’ll meet some people to hang out with.

My supervisor and I were chit chatting today and he was telling me that when I get to school I’m going to meet so many people (and yadda yadda). He thinks that while I’m in school I will find a boyfriend and live happily ever after. Not so, I said to him. “I don’t need a man to make me happy anymore.” He just laughed at me. I wonder if this is how my Mom and Dad see me (my Dad is the same age as my supervisor)? I mean it would be nice to have attention, real attention, on me - with someone who treats me right, but I don’t need anybody to complete me. The whole reason I’m going to school is to make sure I can support myself, so I don’t have to be in a bad situation again. I wish people could just respect that!

I’m so happy to have a camera (that works) again, I have spent a lot of time recently just taking photos and yes, this is a new layout, and yes the picture above is mine, I took it last night. Even the picture quality on this camera is better than the one I sent back (which is surprising as this is the same model and everything!) As far as the layout goes, yes I’m reusing this one - it was good enough the last time….

And for a Keegan update - she is in her new home. I am very happy for her!
