So much to say, so little space...

Life has been so interesting the last little while... I'll start today and move backwards.

Today I ran out of gas. After institute, I was taking someone home and before I reached the gas station I was heading for, the car stopped accelerating. So I pulled off of State street into a parking lot and called my dad. When he finally arrived, he had bought a little more than two gallons and put it into my tank. Aren't I glad I have a dad?

The funny thing is, I have driven farther on less gas. In stop and go traffic, too. So I don't know what was so different about today, but it was.

I've been reading Breaking Dawn again, reliving the magic and remembering why it's my favorite. *sigh* Such a good book...

And I finally decided once and for all what I'm going to major in when I finally buckle down and go to college next year.

Drum roll please.

Hold your breath...

Forensic Science!

Are you surprised? I was. All those math and chemistry classes? *shudders* BUT. I'm going to do it. I have always been interested in that sort of stuff, and always return to it, so I guess it's meant to be. The program at the new university about 30 miles from where I live is 121 credits and will only take 4 years IF I take summer classes. Otherwise I might be stuck for 5...

But the classes I get to take! Wow! Bloodstain pattern analysis, Fingerprint Examination 1-3, Footwear Impression! I'm so excited! But they're not until my junior/senior year... At least I have something to look forward too...

The last two weeks I have been researching everything I have to do before school starts, such as applying, ACT, scholarships, financial aid, housing, job, possible class schedules... That much work, you know I'm going to do something. At least, I hope so.

Some time when my friend Balgram has some time, after I have register for next fall, I hope we can get together and she help me, so that I do things the right way. Let me tell you, if I don't have someone helping me, and telling me how to do it, 1; it won't get done, or 2; it'll get done, the wrong way...

I'm also planning on taking the ACT in December, instead of October, so that I have some time to actually learn algebra and hopefully get good scores, 'cause I need at least a 23 in math and a 19 in reading and English in order to get into the right classes, or else I WILL need to take 5 years to finish... *yeech*

I still plan to move out in June, though my savings plan never actually got off the ground... I just love shopping too much... But at least I didn't have to borrow money this paycheck! I just have zero cash except for bus money and I am so tempted to spend that... But I won't because then I would have no way to get to work, and my next paycheck would be just as bad as my last one and I REALLY don't want that to happen. I hate getting $400 paychecks...

If I always get my hours in I'm earning $9. If not, I'm earning $8. I want to be earning $11 by next fall... So that I have money for rent and insurence.

I'm so glad I won't have to pay for my car after June... $273 a month is lot of money... Plus phone ($50), rent ($100), Insurence ($65), and anything else, it really adds up. Of couse, I'm also glad that I'm not paying tuition or books right now... That would make things even worse...

Anything else I can think of?

Well anyway, I've got to go to work. Anything else I can think of will have to wait until tomorrow.

I know...

I know I haven't posted anything worth while in some time. I hereby promise that I shall compose something while at work and type it up and post it tomorrow morning after Institute. I also promise it shall be REALLY long as I have a LOT of stuff I want everyone to know about.

I almost died again...

This time, it was on the freeway.

I was driving just a little above the speed limit, only about 67 mph, and I looked down for a second to check what time it was. In that second, someone who was going probably only 55 mph pulling into my lane in front of me. When I looked up, I was barreling towards them really fast. In seconds, I checked both sides of me. To my right there was a semi and the my left was a yellow mustang. I pushed my brakes a little, just enough for the mustang to get past me enough for me to change lanes, and just as I was about to hit the car in front of me, I swerved around them.

I'm still alive! Whew.

May that teach me not to care what time it is on the freeway... And that people are stupid like that....

Heroes should come with a warning label

I have recently become a fan of the NBC TV show Heroes.
As the title says, Heroes really should come with a warning label.

Warning: Highly addictive, creates compulsions to believe you have super reflexes which make you a hero.

Saturday, my friend Balgram let me borrow season one episodes 7-23 and season two episodes 1-5. I can only say I didn't get much sleep after that.

And I was dieing to know what happened so I went out and bought season two. And watched the other 6 episodes last night.

Can I say ended badly?

No, actually it ended great. I was sad they killed off one of the characters, but it was a great ending. It was still terrible though! For a full five minutes after it ended and I was going to bed, I was trembling uncontrollably and screaming into my pillow.

My friend, Cheez, before I had seen season two, had told me that she didn't like Peter, my favorite character, all that much in season two. I can now understand why. I still like him a ton because I understand his motive and what happened, but I understand why Cheez doesn't like him all that much.

I think he's amazing. Misled, but still amazing. He thought he was doing the right thing. He was manipulated by Adam into believing that Adam wanted to destroy the virus, but when faced with the facts, he made the right choice.

*Sigh*

And Heroes has spawned, like, three different stories for me... What can I say, the good things inspire good things.

But know I have to wait until the next season comes out and I don't think I can... It's too long! And it ended so badly, I want to know what happens! Who kills him? How does she escape? WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?!

And enough ranting about my new favorite show...

Laters!
