I'm trying to recall if I've walked under any ladders, broke any mirrors, or done anything to incite some sort of holy revenge. Perhaps its because Vienne crosses my path so many times here at home.
A few people have known I've been skimping by for awhile, narrowly hanging onto my job by the good graces of whatever. Apparently, that 'whatever' took a break.
First off, I get so low on money, I start eliminating things from my budget. Television, newspaper, etc. I kept the internet because I use it for class- and for talking to more than a few people. I've been stressing unbelievable amounts working two jobs, plus now combating school (and its bloody costs). ( 570 for just the books. I even bought a few of them 'used'). Friday I get out of class, and hop on my bike to pedal over to the cafe in time for my shift. My only problem? I didn't make it there. I started getting chest pains and blacked out before I even got off campus. I was barely hanging onto that job with the understanding that I couldn't miss a single second of work.
Yeah, I got fired.
So once I get back from the doctor's (after paying -that- fee as well) I just rest as best as possible (Doctor of course said I need to relieve the stress in my life- brilliant man, dare I say) while I flip through the classifieds for a new job. The symptoms are renewably terrible, since I know I'm in deep s**t financially: I'm constantly getting a short breath, and dizzy on more than one occasion. I get up Saturday, do some classwork and take care of Vienne when I get the second call of doom. The tutoring program has enough full-time tutors now, that my part-time work is no longer needed. They were nice enough to mention that perhaps in the future, when they have a spot that opens up, I will be re-hired on full time.
So I have no money due to college sucking up most of my cash. I don't even have enough to pay Nic rent next month.
Thus I won't be paying for internet anymore. I won't have a place to even hook up a computer. I talked to my aunt today, and she'll at least take Vienne while I'm stranded. She offered a room for me, but she has enough problems of her own, the cat alone will probably be a burden.
And my parents? I called them before my aunt, only to hear the lovely idea that they'll be more than willing to help me out... if I move back home permanently.
Tonight? I pop on and catch Kal's journal entry. The worst thing? I can't ******** blame her at all.
Whoever has my password, feel free to scavange my account, I won't be around to care.
