Snail Mail

The first week of school is always the worst.

It's the week that I'm stressing about whether or not I remembered to bring the things I needed (there's always at least one thing left behind). Its the week that I'm showing up too late or too early (I haven't quite figured out how long it takes me to get from point A to point B). It's the week that I'm figuring out how to pay for the textbooks, the rent, the food, and the gas.

Oh geeze. No parenthesis needed there. I am always kicking "past me" in the butt for not saving up enough money over the summer to deal with this crap. I mean, you'd think that I'd know by now that it takes a couple hundred bucks to pay for the overpriced dead-weights teachers call 'important information for understanding the material'. Freaking textbooks... I had to borrow $250 from my older brother, because I didn't have enough to pay for the ridiculous Chemistry book. Its always good to order the books online, cus that's cheaper... but then these dang teachers expect you to have your material the next day. On top of that, I've got rent coming up, and I still haven't eaten a real meal.

Aside from that one that the church was serving... That was weird. I was really hungry on Tuesday, when I happened to pass a sign that said that a certain church had a sort of college outreach program where they would serve free lunch on Tuesday afternoons. Ha-ha!! Free food!!! I felt like a freaking street urchin.

I just needed to get that one out there. I've actually got a bit more heavy stuff than that on my mind right now. I'm not sure if I can express it well enough... Now, don't worry. Its not nearly as heavy as my past posts have been. But maybe its a follow-up to those. A question of why those posts exist. Not an explanation, that is. Just... a question.

Why do I write these things?

Why is it that my life is so horribly affected by these things.

Yeah. I was right. I can't express anymore. I'm really bogged down right now. I don't think I can even bring myself to focus enough on an episode of Adventure Time to find the snail. Did you know that snail was in every single episode? Well it is. Take a look.

I don't even know why I logged in today.
