similar situations

You know when you feel like the only person in a situation that feels the way you do. I don't know if that last sentence made any sense, but if it did to you then the rest of this blog is for you.

So all year I have kinda felt like I was the only one on staff that really hated their job. Everyone else seemed to love it and be really in to it while I was in the corner hating it all and trying desperately to escape. Until....today. I was talking with another girl and we both realized that we have both hated it for a while. Actually...all year. So in a very odd way it was a HUGE relief.

While it doesn't give us back our year and our lives that we've spent in misery it, it did make looking back on it a little easier and a little less hostile. I realized that your junior year, whether you are in high school or college, is just not a good year. From what I remember about high school senior year is wonderful. So I'm praying that's how next year goes. Summer has become like a very bright light at the end of a very dark tunnel.

Ok so enough of my complaining and blabbering. So I found out I have about $3 in my bank account today. But I get paid tomorrow which doesn't mean a whole lot because I don't get paid much anyways. It is, however, more than 3 big smack-a-roos. This has been the month of big expenses. I wonder at how I spent so much money, but when I look back I never really bought anything I quote "wanted" only things that I needed, like gas and food. You know, the daily essentials. First thing on my list to buy tomorrow....shampoo and soap. Woo-hoo!! What a joy!

Other than that, not a whole lot is going on in my life. So peace.

Oh no! Have you been without soap and shampoo?? Food?? Everything is getting more expensive---I'm feeling the "crunch" too.

I love you!
