Well I guess it’s time to blog. I’ve been saying I would write a new entry for a couple days but I always ended up distracted and never got down to writing. A lot has gone on in the past couple days, a LOT of stuff.

Firstly on Thursday morning I received a call from an auto dealership because Tuesday afternoon for shits and giggles I submitted 2 applications online (don’t ask me where, I don’t know) and I spoke to the financing manager. I was very very hesitant b/c I’m a student on a low income with no down payment available or a co-signer. We talked and then he worked on something and called me back. He told me I was approved and could get a car for $0 down. So I woke Pat’s butt up and we went to the dealership, or tried to. We got about 10 miles from the house before mom’s car stalled and refused to start. His mom picked us up, took us there, and after 3 hours of paperwork/discussing/test driving I now own a 2006 Ford Focus. I didn’t get to choose, as this is what I was approved for but definitely a step up. I bought the 100,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty for about $1800 since I like peace of mind. Overall, it’s costing me about $21,000 since financing is 11.54%. The car itself is around $14,000. My payments are $293/month which is about $100 higher than my escort but this vehicle is 10x better. It also has a KILLER factory system in it, mp3/cd player. Suhweet. Pictures at a later date, it’s kinda dirty because it’s been snowy so salt is on it. It’s maroon with tan interior though.

Since this occurred I determined I don’t want to watch my GPA die so I emailed my 2 professors about the exams I missed and one let me do a makeup yesterday. I got a 54% but that beats a 0 and the other hasn’t gotten back to me just yet. :-\ Eh, I’m not going to worry about it because I calculated that if I get like an 80+ on my last exam my average will be a B and if I get REALLY high I can get a B+ still so, we’ll see what happens. There are 3 weeks left to the semester and I can not WAIT because I want my 4 months of freedom. I’m still very much contemplating taking off next semester to re-evaluate my life and what I want with it because I’ve been really hesitant about school since last semester and I’d rather take a semester or two off than let my GPA plummet. I’m guessing 2 or 3As and the rest Bs for this semester but you do with what you can.

Err, otherwise I’m doing alright. My sanity is restored a bit and I’m not going to bite everyone’s head off that speaks to me or be radiating with negativity. I’m looking into going back on anti-depressants but that’s going to have to wait until after school is out because I don’t have time during the day to make an appointment and go. Busyness sucks.

Randy and I are doing very well too. He came home yesterday since he’s off of restriction and had an 8 hour pass (daily he’s allotted 8 hours, once he hits 12 weeks it’s unlimited *squeel*) and next weekend he gets an overnight allowance. I can not WAIT to fall asleep in his arms. *sigh* We enjoyed being together without having to sit in a car and just kick back and relax like in the beginning. Less than 5 months left, it’s all I need to keep telling myself. It gets easier as time goes on, it really does because the rules are loosened. I love him so much.

We’ve got a bit of trouble in paradise because Pat is constantly over (spent the night 2 days in a row) but we’re like siblings and eh. Then last night Jim came over and Pat and him were hanging out and I went to bed. Randy called right at 8am to make sure Jim hadn’t tried anything and again at 9 and 10. I was like Randy, chill out. I’m sleeping with my stuffed animals and dogs, Jim is upset over your sister, and Pat went to the ER (more below). We talked about it and he realized that he needs to try and get over the intense paranoia of people taking advantage of me because I’m not going anywhere. I love him. His wife changed her myspace all around and it says her maiden name and divorced so I’m hoping she files the paperwork so all he has to do is sign, it’d definitely be nice and that not hanging over our heads would be fantastic.

Pat’s in the ER because during the night he started throwing up and a lot of it was blood. I was sleeping but I faintly heard (since I was restless) him tell Jim at 3:30 he was going to wake me up to have me call his mom so he could go to the ER but he never did. I figured it wasn’t too bad then but at 8:45 he called her himself and she picked him up and took him in. They took 10 tubes of blood and put him on a liquid diet because he keeps throwing everything up. His mom is supposed to update me throughout the day on his progress. I’m working another 14 minutes and then leaving to go see Randy for the afternoon.

Lastly I’d like to thank everyone for their suggestions and support. If you’ve talked to me recently and I was snappy, I’m really sorry. I just get really down and negative at times, I need to work on that. I love you all!
