I'm Going to Eat Somebody

[jenny_wildcat]

I hate Mondays.  I hate them with a passion unbridled.

Imagine a tweety bird floating along nicely, minding her own business.  Now imagine a brick wall materializing out of nowhere right when she's least expecting it.  Imagine that tweety bird pancaking it on the brick wall.  That's been me the past ten hours.

After a really nice weekend of hanging out with my mom and my sisters, the following realizations came to me this morning: I have about $90 total to my name.  I have three weeks left in Logan.  Gas prices are jacking up again.  If I go to my friend's birthday party this upcoming weekend, I probably won't have money enough to get me home after graduation.  Mom and dad couldn't get a room in Logan for graduation weekend because everything's booked, so I'm going to have to have ALL my crap out of my apartment the morning of graduation and crammed into my little Explorer (they're big, but not that big).  I have a paper and a presentation due in the same class this week.

I'm pissed because I promised faewren I'd go to her birthday party, but now I can't because I have no money (even getting to ginyoku's place and back will break me).  I'm pissed because I've got to figure out how I'm going to pack up my entire life and get it home before the landlord nazis kick me out on May 5.  And then, I'm pissed because I think I might have got a really, really, really, REALLY awesome job offer this summer, but it's in Brigham City and miles away from where I want to be this summer.  That sounds strange, I know, but I've been operating under the delusion that I might be able to be closer to family and friends in Salt Lake, but Brigham is about as bad as Logan.

And now I have seven minutes until class starts, so I'm going to go be pissed there.

Love from,
Jenny Wildcat

Hey - no worries on the b-day party. I'd offer to help, but we're still getting out of a financial hoopla ourselves. Just come visit me sometime this summer.

Oh - and if you ever need to crash in SLC while looking for a job down here, feel free to crash at our place. We have a hide-a-bed thingy which goes great on the floor (the frame is nasty) with a sleeping bag. I know it ain't much, but it's what we got and you're free to use. (I know that last sentence had bad grammar. Shoot me.)

Just give me a call on next Sunday and we can talk. If you're on Verizon it's free. There will be other chances to see each other.

Besides you've got to come to the annual summer Gathering. ^_^

Oh, I am so at the Gathering! I'm really sorry about Saturday, though. It took me a while to decide that I wasn't coming. I owe you lunch or something.

I'll probably call you on Sunday. I'm not on Verizon, but I have free weekends anyway. I don't have your number, but e-mail it me ^_^

Okay, slight change of plans that include me coming for the party! I talked to my dad and he said he'll put some money in my account and besides, he's got some work for me this summer, so things aren't as crappy as they were!

What time are you planning on everything starting? I just need to know so I know when I need to be at Janette's and stuff like that.

Well I gave the open ended invitation to show up at 5pm and stay until whenever. In order to get here AT 5, which I seriously don't expect, I'd plan to be at Janette's about an hour before. As it is, I'd plan on being there and hour before you want to arrive here anyway. ^_^

I'm so excited to see you!
