Deja Vu...

It's all coming back to me now.

I got back from vacation with my family a little while ago. I think it's been a week, but don't hold me to that; life has been moving pretty fast lately. I am going back to school. I start in approximately 26.5 hours. I have no books, and no money for books. Hell, I have no money for food. Fortunately, I have enough peanut butter to last until my next paycheck. No money? No books? Classes starting soon? Didn't I go through this whole thing during the last degree?

Not to worry, though. I will soon get a check from my esteemed university for the change from my student loan. That will cover me for all my debts and things, and get me nicely on keel for the rest of the semester, at which point I'll get another check. I will, of course, eventually have to pay back all of this money, but by then, I'll have a much better job. I hope. The only problem with this plan is that, if it comes back and bites me in the ass because I find I can't stand studying biomedical science, I have to figure that out in the next week or so. After this week, I think I'm pretty locked in to getting this degree. So my only option is to get the hell out of this degree. (Sorry, that's unclear. What I meant was not that I should get out of this degree, but that I should get it, and get it with much enthusiasm. I apologize again, and please don't hurt me.)

I am a little pissed at the bookstore for waiting to get a list of the books I'll need for this semester until I was too poor to buy them, but as I say, all my immediate financial problems will be solved by the end of the week. Zen thought for the month: All financial problems are immediate, because only the immediate problems count in finances. Or something.
