Okay, so, I got my financial aid award notice recently, and I am the shit, forreal. I got a scholarship for $1,900 ($950/semester), as well as a grant from the state of VA for $3,329! So first semester, I get $3,329 and second semester $3,330 for free! My tuition is only $3,482/semester so this is amazing! I am so happy. This just goes to show, fuck FAFSA--write in a sob story for scholarship applications and you'll get the money you deserve.

Anyway, I started a new job at Michaels. I'm a "sales associate" who backs up on register. It gives me ridiculous anxiety, but I like the people there. I just hate not knowing what I'm doing. I don't know how it works. I have never worked retail before and it's more work than I'm used to. I have to work 8 hours today and I don't know how I'm going to get through it, with my sanity.

I get to move into my apartment on August 20th, nice!

The car troubles I mentioned before? SUCK! It turns out you can't fix the part that randomly broke without buying a whole new door latch thing from Hyundai... which is going to cost like $300. My mom's paying for it since I literally have... $15 bucks to my name if I'm lucky (damn gas), but still. I have to pay her back. So I now owe her $1,600. Fuck meeeee.

On the bright side, it will be fixed tomorrow morning and then I'm heading up to Frederick for the weekend. I'll be staying with one of my friends Friday night who I don't see or talk to enough anymore. Then Saturday Nathaniel, Bryan, me, and I don't know who else is going to go see August Burns Red and I'm excited! I'll probably come back broken though haha.

You guys should do me a favor... join Bux.to (link is on my sidebar) and earn yourself some monies. And consequently me too. The site's legit. I just want some referals... please? :)

Oh, and if you were wondering where I've been lately? Playing The Sims 2. Obsessed. Totally obsessed.

What I really want to do right now is bitch about work, but I'll keep it vague. Let's leave it as they cut my hours back, one of the bosses was really rude to me today, and I have $50 to last me until next Friday... with barely (if even) half a tank of gas.

So, basically, I can't do much of anything. I don't want to waste gas because I can't even buy another full tank of it until my next paycheck. I don't want to drive anywhere unless I have to. And besides, I need money for next Saturday when I go up to PA (might be taking my car, don't know yet) to go see August Burns Red in Lancaster for their video shoot.

I'm just so frustrated. I should have 30 hours on my next paycheck, but who knows. I forget when I worked last week. If they hadn't changed my schedule and if it didn't rain every other fucking day I would have over 60! God.

I should just find another job, but it's so stressful doing the whole application thing. I already turned down two jobs for this one and now I'm getting screwed over! It sucks so much. And now that most college kids are home for the summer, a lot of jobs aren't even hiring anymore. Besides that, I have so much random shit to do this summer: concerts I already bought tickets for, Nathaniel's birthday, our one year anniversary trip to King's Dominion, etc. I don't want to change jobs and not be able to do anything fun this summer.

Anyway, I'm done bitching. The end. Now time to play The Sims 2... it's all I do since I never work. Literally.

So, since it's still raining... and has been since last Thursday, I'm off work again today. That's the only bad thing about my job--it depends on the weather. I need some hours so I can get some moneys!

Anyway, because I'm not working today, I'm hitting up Tyson's Corner with my sister today for some shopping! I'm so excited. I spent three hours shopping yesterday and all I had to show for it was a drink from Starbucks and less gas in my tank. What a bummer. I did find a cute comforter from Target that I will probably buy. That's a plus I suppose.

I don't really have anything to talk about... I just wanted to blog to be honest haha. So have a good day :)
