Triumph over glory?

I have a strong urge to watch Rock and Rule. I don't know what it is about that movie. It's shitty, but... I like listening to the sound track. If they actually released a sound track, maybe I wouldn't watch the movie so much? I don't know.

So, I went to see an actual English Undergraduate counselor this week and I was given pretty much the best news. I'm going to be out of here by, at most, next Autumn Quarter. I want to actually be out of here by summer if I could. Who knows? But yeah, I'm actually not going to be here for forever like I had thought. I just got to stick it out through 2009.

I can almost sense that I'm going to get a bad grade in Space class unless I'm showed at least some mercy. In fact, hopefully half of the class is given a break... a lot of people didn't do well on the last test. Also, the homework is incredibly frustrating and difficult. And this is a class that's in the 100 level... it is seriously the hardest class I'm in. My other classes though, I'm doing a stellar job. I'm about ready to be done with this quarter though... the amount of group work I've had to do is profound. Ugh.

I think the biggest worry I have at the moment is finding another job. I have been cut in both places that I work and am hardly making anything. The bakery I can understand, but the restaurant? Shit. You know what though? I think it's time I do find something better. Maybe a 24 hour grocery store or something. I can do that. I can work late evenings and such. I wonder if I can manage to snag a 38 hours per week job. At least I'll be making over 1000 a month if I had that. And I'd still be willing to work at the bakery on Saturday mornings. In fact, I'm going to fill out an application for Albertson's and once I get that job, I'm out of the restaurant. I really don't know why the Family Inn is still open. I really don't. It doesn't make any money except for in the bar. Why not just shut down the restaurant side? Hoi. That place sucks.

I can't wait to get out of minimum wage positions. I just want a job that pays okay. I'm fine with middle class. That's cool. I'm tired of being lower class though. I've had to live in it for so freaking long... I've had my phone shut down at my house for a full year. How do you do that nowadays? I'm just striving to not be what my parents are. I really don't think they're going to be going anywhere... they'll always be living paycheck to paycheck.

Anyways, I should probably get off this crazy thing.

Not to dookie on the parade here but the middle class was created solely as a buffer between the working class and the insanely rich, and getting a teaching job puts you just under middle class, as far as ratios go, to be in the middle class you have to be making close to six figures a year.

but goddammit who actually needs that much money come on

fffffffffffffuuuuuck I'll see you tonight I'm going to go clean toilets and be angry while reading howard zinn
