I felt sick to my stomach and tired today. My stomach stopped bothering me a few hours ago, and I had a bowl of cereal a few minutes ago. I slept most of the day and I'm just starting to wake up now.

My brother had a stomach bug like this yesterday, so maybe we got it when we went out to eat Saturday.
 
After 12-13 weeks since my car exploded, I finally have it up and running again. But now I gotta come up with $500 this week for the labor (it needed a big welding job). Freaking great, I JUST had to pull out $500 out of my ass last week for that small bank loan, now I gotta do it again this week.

I swear. I really want to do the best I can to enjoy my summer (and losing my viriginity… shush!) but its like every where I look, I have another loan to pay off. Whether its for labor getting the car fixed, for the importing of the part from Japan, and now I gotta pay gym membership this week too…

Boy, I need me a :tugboat:
 
I'm just very glad that I'm making progress on a work-in-progress novel that's been driving me crazy for a very long time. What sucks is that the Internet here in this campground I'm at is being unreasonable, going on and off.
 
Tomorrow until Friday I will be at workshops to prepare my future classmates and I for this upcoming semester and the beginning of our BFA program. I'm actually really nervous to meet the people I will spend the next two years of my life with and I'm feeling a bit insecure about my own abilities. :(
Also I really hate the commute to Manhattan.(:_(
Wish me luck!
 
Had to work real late to set up a party in one of the villas. Had to take the last ferry this evening, so no gym tonight *sigh*

Oh well, I'm off the next two days, and on Thursday night is the Goombay festival. Summer time is finally here!
 
:drunkmythos: you guys changed the name of the thread :heart-full:

My day has got significantly better, I had totally forgot I bitched about that :lol:
 
Bit of a rough day for me.

My classes are going well, but I keep expecting something . . . unexpected . . . to happen. I was a bit distressed by some of my instructor's comments on my last paper, so I talked to her about it after class. And I basically got laughed out of the room, because I'd done perfectly well and I'm just being paranoid, but it's been a long time since I've been in college and I keep expecting the other shoe to drop.

One of my Facebook friends also posted a distressing status. A few weeks ago, she posted that her 6-year-old had suffered a seizure of some sort. Today, she posted that he'd passed away due to complications from a previously undiagnosed brain cancer. And oh my God. That's terrifying. I couldn't imagine it being one of my own children . . . I think I'd go legit insane if I were in that situation. It's horrifying and terrible and it scares the hell out of me to even imagine it.

I'm just stressing about things. But I have an old statement that I stick by: "paranoia isn't a state of mind. It's a way of life."
 
some stupid stuff bogs me down but oh well, sometimes shitsux and stuff like that.

i'm working on some "serious art" (read: generic alaskana topics) and i hope i can get some sort of job that involves art in some way. most likely the best i could hope for (irl that is) would be like newspaper layout designer or something.

i've been having a downer phase again. you'd think that wouldn't happen in the summer, but NOPE. been having to deal with it for a while. mostly it's me moping about how dissatisfied i am with my artistic abilities and having loads of trouble drawing goddamn cabins and stuff. why is this so hard?? meanwhile people i know of online from years ago are really going all sorts of places. and here i am. just stagnating. /selfpity

anyway i've also been working on a wild garden. i'm filling it up with eskimo potatoes.

If it makes you feel better, Alaska's just kinda a hard place to be. Yeah, we got a great summer. Whoooo! It got up to 61 degrees today. That'll get you a sunburn if you're the Ice Witch of Narnia.

What I'm trying to say . . . your frustration's palatable. I'm feeling much the same way myself about my job.
 
At first, my morning was rather banal, just watching my nephew as he watched Youtube videos of train. Ten minutes later, after taking a walk, I come home to find out my living room was soaked. Some kind of problem with the toilet. Because of that, me and my parents spent a good amount of time cleaning the living room and kitchen of toilet water. After that, I took a good long shower, washing off any germs from the cleanup. What a special 11 A.M. this was for me. At least it was downstairs.
 
This Friday and Monday are Holidays in the Bahamas. Bahamian Labor Day and Whit Monday. Essentially, us island folk really love holiday time and we have many more holidays than other countries. Even if that Holiday date lands on a Sunday, we'll still have that immediate Monday off.

Why am I telling you this? Because, since all us island folk really love holiday time, the gym will be closed all weekend, just as it does every holiday time.

*sigh* Well, I had a great workout today and I'll have a great one tomorrow before Goombay. :cool::heart-full:
 
My day's been great so far. I got some early birthday money ($300, holla) and yeah.

Well really me getting $300 was my whole day, but still.
 
I had to put my cat down today. Turns out he wasn't having a stroke or seizure, it was blood clots in his stomach and leg. Vet said he'd only live 4 days without treatment, and a month before it could occur again.

RIP Indy. Gonna miss you waking me up at 4 am to be let out.
 
Craaaaaazy day at work. Got absolutely slammed by high school students celebrating graduation.

Came home and found out that my tuition deposit finally fucking cleared after two days, so I registered for orientation. Some part of me still can't believe this is real.

I got a job. Like, a real job. Like, a health benefits and paid time off and stock options job.

It's a nice feeling.
 
Got up, went to my voluntary job which I'm not getting paid for, dwelled on stuff which gradually darkened my mood all day, came home and watched streams/played videogames.

Just when I thought I was starting to get over my depression.
 
Worked til the last ferry today, but since today was a Holiday (in my country) that means double pay! I was enjoying myself smiling away and singing along to Debbie Gibson on the ferry back, guess that means I was in a particular mood today (but I can't use that word anymore :tomgirl:)
 
I cashed in my coins I had lying around. I took two rolls of quarters ($20) to the bank and got a $75 Amazon gift certificate at Coin Star. I feel like I came into money, lol.
 
Another beautiful summer day in the islands. The rain came pouring down midway through lunch, but cleared away for the rest of the birthday party that was happening. I stayed on the small island til the last ferry again because I wanted to clean my car.

Yes, after 15 or so weeks since it exploded, my Purple Suzuki is finally back and running, and its no longer a ghost! Its now a dazzling, beautiful car.
