Just can’t catch a break…
I can honestly say that I’ve not had a worse day than yesterday in a long time. Instead of things getting better yesterday, like they were supposed to, they went the other way. In other words, things are getting worse, not better. I think we’ll be okay, but it’s not going to be easy. Matt and I are both feeling pretty down right now, but hopefully we won’t feel this way forever, or even for long. Matt normally bounces back from things pretty quickly, but this might be one of those things that bothers him for a while. I don’t know. He’s not here and even if he were, he’s not talking to me much right now. I think July will be better than June has been, or at least I hope it will. Fingers crossed.
School, for me, is doing alright. Summer classes are ridiculously busy, which I hate and being online classes seems to make things harder not easier. It’s sort of like floundering around in the dark. By the time you start to get comfortable with the class and feel like you know what you’re doing, it’s over. My film studies class is alright, the professor seems like a really nice guy, which is helpful, but the class is much more difficult and time consuming than I had thought it would be. The film class is also all summer, 10 weeks not just 5, so that makes it a little harder, too. The speech class is a nightmare, but only because I’m feeling a lot of trepidation about giving a speech. The first speech, which is informative and has to be 4-5 minutes is on June 26th. My topic was approved, so that’s positive, and I’ll be talking about something I know a lot about: The value of Twitter as a social networking tool. That’s definitely a silver lining, I get to talk about something I enjoy, I’m a tweetaholic and have made some really good friends via Twitter, and made friendships I already had more meaningful. Still, I’m afraid, which I don’t think will change, even after I give the damn thing because two weeks later, I have to turn around and give another, longer speech. The second speech is persuasive, this is the one I am not looking forward to at all.
Other than school, there’s not a whole lot to talk about. I turned off my World of Warcraft account tonight. I never use it anyway and can’t see paying $15.95 a month for something that gets no use. I’ll likely turn it back on sometime in the near future, when we’re more caught up. I strangely felt nothing when canceling, like it didn’t matter one way or another. If I can’t summon up any sort of emotion for it, it’s probably best this way. I’ve been writing for my PBeM’s again and that’s going well, though it’s nothing something I can really discuss here too much because I’ll be rambling on about something that means a hell of a lot to me, but to no one else.
Anyway, I have an assignment due tonight in my film studies class so I need to go work on it or do dishes or something. Feeling a bit restless. Write again soon.
Oh, one other thing before I go. Tell me what you think of this theme. WordPress decided to include a theme browser in their most recent version of self-hosted WP. It’s pretty awesome, it’s single downfall being that most of the themes in the WP theme repository suck, or they hold no appeal for me, anyway. I took this theme from there and added the custom name header, as I like something a little more interesting than the regular ol’ blocky header.
Yeah, going now.

I obviously missed something — what’s going wrong?
As for summer classes, I know I’m younger, have no experience, and generally more naive, but if there’s any way in the world I can help, I will. I’m only taking two classes this summer to help me organize myself, so I have the time to help you. The same goes for Matt.
(I love the theme >.>)
As for the WoW closure, I saw it coming. But I have the blogs and the phone, as phone-a-phobic as I am.

My WoW situation’s not perminant. I’ll be resubscribing, when we can afford it.
As for what’s going on. Matt’s financial aid’s been revoked because he has too many attempted hours (192 hours is the maximum allowed for financial aid). As a result, he can’t go to school because we can’t afford to pay the $2100 tuition for the summer. So, until I start grad school, he won’t be going to school. He’s really bummed and so am I. As a result, things are pretty tense around here.
I’m glad you like the new theme and if there’s anything you can do to help me, I’ll let you know for sure. Thank you for the offer. Also, ILU2!!

I love the theme. Pretty, subdued colors!
I feel the way you do about Sims. I used to be so addicted and now the new one came out and I can’t even feel sad that I’m not playing anymore. I guess I just burned out already.
Hope things look up soon!

Thanks!! I like the theme too. I really love the balloons. The colors are so easy on the eyes, too!!
I hope things look up soon, too, honestly. I’m sure we’ll get through it, but for now, it kinda sucks.
