I've been thinking about getting a cat for a while now but more recently I've actually thought about doing it. I've had cats in the past so it's not like it's a new experience but I still have some concerns about it. Mostly being able to take care of it properly. I can afford the extra cost for food and litter but medical expenses scare me.

Oh well, we'll see i guess.

That sucks >.<

My Civic's transition was on it's way out before I finally replaced it. $3000 x_x of course, the worst part was that the car was stolen not too long after that :\

What should be the last essay of my way, way over-prolonged university career is now 2 days overdue and still no closer to being done. Had to literally go back to the drawing board today and draw a bunch of charts to try and get it worked out, but it's all still going painfully slowly and will probably be several days late. I know the prof will still take it because he's on vacation right now and won't be looking at them till next week anyway, but this is tiresome and humiliating. Worse, I have to constantly distract myself with music or a movie or internets or something, because otherwise I get too discouraged working on it, so it's really going slowly. Hardly a surprise, but after 10 years, university is simply not fun anymore ~__~

You're pretty tough to go that long. After 6 (the last 2 only part time) I couldn't stand taking classes any more. Still haven't done any more work towards my MS, and I still don't want to. Real life is so much more engaging... in that it eats my time far better.

I spent 8 years getting my undergrad mostly due to not knowing what I wanted to do and trying to take as much easy classes as possible.

Also focusing on amvs rather than academics held me back, but I don't regret any of it.

Hopefully I can go back to school next year for theater/acting and cooking. I don't need a degree for them, but I want to learn them by my own accord.

You sir are a trooper. :up:

Yeah, unless I come across a pile of money or suddenly get the desire to change my career path (unlikely) I definitely don't think I'll be heading back for a Masters. >_>

So major kudos to you for sticking it out that long.

I worry about other people too much and it stresses me out. Always wish I can do something to help but usually can't. Feel like a shitty friend by standing around on the sidelines.

This is something that often nags me. It's doubly hard when there's distance and other obstacles involved. Although I don't feel there's such a thing as "too much", it's kind of normal to worry about other people. Not much that can be done about that, sadly :/

perhaps "too much" for me to handle sometimes makes more sense to me. id be happier if my lfe was in shambles and everyone else around me was happy.

Fan in my laptop sounds like its going to start grinding coffee, and last time I had to replace it, it was a $60 part and WAY too much of my time. I'd pull the trigger on a new computer, BUT I just had to put another $250 into my car due to a dead fuel pump...

Just had a little what the fuck moment today. Went to see my doctor after I had another episode and kind of just complained that I can't remember shit. My entire two weeks in Europe, forgot that shit. Lost a friend, forgot about that too. My week shadowing a nurse, gone. Everything from April to July is all sort of a blur, and my doc told me that I suffer from amnesia as a result of weeks of pneumonia. Just kind of weird being told that you straight up just lost some memories, some will come back, other's probably won't. I feel like my entire summer was wasted wasting away, and now I have to live with the consequences. Fucking sucks. I don't even want to talk to people anymore, I just feel like a straight up psycho.

In other news, I got this greek frozen yogurt at the store and it pisses me off because it tastes like shit. I feel so genuinely furious at this yogurt, I honestly think I'm just going batshit insane. Fuck being sick, fuck people who look at me weird, fuck shitty friends, fuck this stupid frozen dessert, fuck this summer, fuck 2012. fuck fuck fuck fuck. I just want some fucking macaroni and cheese or I'm going to lose it.

Considering everything else going on, I wouldn't be surprised if there was more to it then just the pneumonia (stress is what I'm thinking). I can't imagine how weird that is with that level of amnesia. Feel free to talk to me if you're up to it, I'm not 100% sane either so at least then you're on a level playing field :P I'm also perfectly ok with being forgotten, wouldn't be first time nor the last :P On a serious note, if you ever do feel like you want to talk to someone outside of a vent thread, I'm sure there are more than a few people here who wouldn't mind it if you just want to vent or simply talk to someone who's not within your immediate social/family circle.

On that note, first off greek frozen yogurt has always been nasty and second, mac and cheese ftw, goodluck on that.

Aha, probably. I think a lot of it kind of goes back to the pneumonia though, causing the stress, lol. But yeah it's weird, it just frustrates me a lot is all. And haha, aw xD
Thank you, I appreciate the offer. (: Sometimes I need to just take a chill pill though, since half of what I complain about is pretty petty stuff. I'll get over myself sooner or later :up:

I guess I just had high expectations for that yogurt since the kind at tcby was amazing ): And mmm yea boi.
