the one where I'm feeling a little blue

Here's what been happening:
-my blog reached 1,000 viewers and I think that's pretty cool
-I have ALMOST survived my first week of law school
-I officially made a friend and even went shopping with her
-I have a washer & dryer now so I finally got to wash my clothes
-the stains came out of my 2 favorite shirts
-I worked out! And I'm going again today ( :
-The whole thing with the apt complex got smoothed out. They were wrong and apologetic.
-I don't like my work studies job. It's a little pointless and it's hard to fit in 8 hours of that with all the school stuff.
-My sister is coming to visit in a week.

The reason I'm feeling blue is that I don't know when I'm going to see Brian. It's been over 2 weeks now and even though it has gone by quickly, I don't want to wait another 6 weeks. The problem is that it costs about $300 to fly here or there. I'm already spending that much to fly home for Baylor's Homecoming and my parents are spending $600 to get me home for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Brian doesn't really have $300 to drop on a plane ticket, but we might be able to split the cost. But still, that means 6 more weeks! I wish that he could come see me in like 3 weeks and then for my Fall Break we could fly to New York to visit Julie and Bobby. But that scenario would cost almost $1000.

In other sad news, Brian's parents are asking him to help out with some of his bills (like his car payments, cell phone, insurance, gas, etc.). I understand that he's an adult now with a job and everything, but his job doesn't pay that much. And him paying all these bills means he's not able to come visit me or to save very much money from each paycheck. So it looks like our hope of getting married in a year isn''t going to happen. Which means we will be dating for SEVEN YEARS by the time it's possible. And I'll have to be in Virginia for two years alone instead of just one. Terrible terrible news.

That's why I'm feeling blue. Let me know if you happen to have a winning lottery ticket or a trust fund that you can donate to our cause.

Cheers: to a beautiful day outside
Jeers: to the people who decided that diamonds should be expensive

I wish I had a ton of money so that you could borrow some and I could pay for you two to come visit us!! Sometimes I just hate money!

You can borrow all my Nicholas Sparks books if you would like! I can mail them to you so you can feel special and get a nice big gift!

It's wierd not having a car and it was very sad giving it up! So many memories were had in the two and a half years I had it. Now I am so dependent on other people driving me or me using their car and I don't so much like that. On the other hand, I am not having to pay these horrendous gas prices!
