How do you spell apiphimy, anyways?

I think I've had an apiphimy that will change my ...
I'm dead sick of school.
I've been going to school as long as I can remember, year after year. Elementary, Middle, High, and a year of classes at a local university, and now a two-year program at ITT Tech (which I'm six months into). At this point, I want to yank my hair out, pull a hammer out of nowhere and go on a rampage. I'm just plain sick of it right now. I'm very much sondiering putting college on hold right now, for possibly a year. Maybe less.
What's making me want to do otherwise is all those who have supported me so far, namely my parents. They've urged me to get an education and get a job that will make me happy. For now, I have a job as a busser at Red Robin, which at this point am very much comfortable with. It pays well, the hours are so-so, I can live with it for a good long while for now.
However, there's other matters as well that I'd have to deal with, such as the financial aid company (FAFSA). I'm supposed to start paying back my financial aid six months after I graduate. If I take time off, the time I graduate will be delayed, which might make them nervous. I doubt a company freely giving me money for schooling would like me putting off my payback date. What scares me is if I did take time off and the date for paying them back couldn't be pushed back, I'd be paying them off while still in school, something I doubt I could do on a busser's pay, even if I DO get some tips.
Don't get me wrong; I don't plan on NEVER getting an education higher than a high school diploma. I'm just considering putting it on hold. I don't plan on staying a busser for the rest of my life. I'm very much willing to sit in classrooms for a couple more years to get out of Red Robin for a job that pays better with better hours ;)

Oddly enough Sarah, I've been feeling the same way for the past week or two. Too calm to worry over most things, just feeling like
Lady: "My baby's still in that flaming building!"
Me: "Yeah, they do that..."
In other news, I now own MGS2:Substance (for a decent 20) and now have higher happy points. The more happy points the better! Get your happy points today! No mail-in rebate or anything, just get them!

Went to Electronic Boutique because I called asking for MGS2:Sustance for PS2. I go there. I buy the game.
I get home 45 minutes later. Insert the game into my PS2. I get an error. "Please insert a Playstation or Playstation 2 format disc." I look at the game cover. It says "DVD-ROM" on it. I insert it into my DVD-ROM. It asks if I want to install MGS2:Substance. I hit no.
I call Electronic Boutique and tell them that they accidentally gave me a PC version of the game. They say they'll give me a rebate if I come in with it and the receipt. I don't feel like going back today. Besides, there's a small chance of me actually getting my actual money back.
Lesson in Irony: The only copy of MGS2:Substance I find after calling various game stores in a 10-mile radius and am told is the PS2 version is in actuality the PC version. -
My cell phone screen got scratched today...

Hmm, buy an 80GB drive or save up money for SakuraCon? -

I had a dream last night where I was The Hulk.
I knew this, went outside and walked down the street, everyone looking at me and gawking in awe. One punk girl walked by, saying to herself but loud enough for me to hear, "... so big.."
WHAT'S WRONG WITH MY SUBCONSCIOUS!?
Oh. Crap, I need to go pay my phone bill today.
