let it snow let it snow let it snow.....so the snow's over and everyone can stop freaking out....we only got like 7 inches or something....nothing to panic about. that's the thing i hate about Jersey: more that 3 inches and everyone's got their knickers in a twist. so the "biggest snowstorm in 2 years" is over and everyone can resume their normal activities in the morning.
the snow today actually made me depressed. i had to go to work instead of gallivanting out in the snow with my friends. it was just another thing to reming me that i'm quickly approaching the big 2-0 and i'm really not a kid anymore. man, college had forced me to grow up faster in these 2 1/2 year than i think i ever have in my nearly 2 decades on this earth. within a week i've been "blessed" with the added resposibilities of figuring out how to finish paying for school, finding a way to not live at home this summer, go to Toronto for spring break, save up enough money to go to Scotland in August, and not lose my sanity while i work 2 jobs and finish up an insanely busy semester. dammit, i hate growing up. yesterday i did 2 hours worth of number crunching to find out how much money i'm going to have to tuck away to pay for school. not including books. and i really have to not live at home this summer...i almost ran away last summer and i'm not tempting fate again. i won't know anything till all the summer session details are up on the school website.
my age of opulence and indulgence will be over when the new year comes. i'll be making my transformation into a starving artist who lives and works solely for her craft. i'll be working 2 jobs and making money that i can't spend. no more Aeropostale box sales, no more dinner for friends at Stuff Yer Face (yes, that's really the name of a restaraunt for all of you non-Ru people), no more Playstation games or video rentals. I'm going to have to live on $280 a month. That's $50 a week for random stuff, $30 for my cell phone bill, and $50 for gas money. Everything else goes into my saving account. I'm even going to have to lock up my new best friend, my MasterCard. *sigh* We had some good times together, too. Like the time when I absolutely had to have that really cute shirt at Contempo and I didn't have time to go to the ATM. Or when I needed gas on the way home from a random journey to Philly.
Well, growing up also means that I have to realize that it's almost 1 in the morning and I have a staff meeting at 9am whether the roads are plowed or not (I had to go to work today, too). Off to bed I go as I mourn the loss of my long enjoyed (or long despised) adolescence. At least I still have a little over a month to get rid of the last of my teen angst while I travel out of the twilight of my teen years and into the dark desolateness that my parents call the "real world." enough of this melodramatic rambling, I'm off to bed. G'nite.
