I hit my wall today. I just couldn’t get anything together. I was tired and rushed and just… off.
I got a phone call this afternoon notifying me that unless hell froze over, I would not be buying a house until October. The reason… because I’m self-employed, I have to wait until I’ve been with Herff for two years. They will give a loan to some crackhead family of 4 making $20,000 a year with gov’t subsidies, but I get bumpkis. I understand I have it a little easier because I have the Chickasaws to fall back on. Yet, our society is so dominated by marriage/breeder advantages, it really is frustrating. I mean there has to be SOME advantage in the financial world of being successful and unmarried. I don’t know if anyone has challenged it, but it should be challenged.
I’m mentally fried today too. I didn’t get much done. I think I need to take next week off, but I already have appointments lined up. So, I guess that is an idea gone bad. I am going to take a week off to do nothing. I just need to putter around my house and get homework done. I was so lucky I was able to wing it in Law tonight. I am not prepared for my classes on Saturday at all. I am in coast mode. I just hope that it doesn’t get me busted out.
I am also not excited about St. Patty’s day either. It’s a huge drinking holiday in Chico. Part of the reason maybe why I am not is because I should have died of alcohol poisoning back in college. Well, I am officiating a powder puff game in Yuba City on Monday night. So that will end that problem.
I need to go to Sac to hang out with my cousin. I miss hanging out. He’s getting eye surgery the week of spring break. He’s going to have a few days off work to recover. I think I should go down there and hang for a few days but with gas so much, it’s hard to make the trip.
Speaking of getting screwed, Chico State Financial Aid screwed me today. I get a grant from the Chickasaw Nation to go to school. Today I was supposed to get like 2900. Instead, I got $28. WTF? I called and then I got online. I noticed that they paid back one of my subsidized loans with the money. Uh, I think it’s my job to figure out where my money should go? Could they have paid back the unsubsidized loan? Oh no, that would be too helpful to me.
I swear today I became 10% more Republican. But there’s no way in hell I’m going to cross the line any time soon… Sorry W. You’re an idiot and so are the people who follow you blindly.
