Good idea at the time

"True about my taste. True about my wealth. But you don't need no help from me, you'll yourself to waste"

I'm hoping this month is significantly better than the way January ended. Last week was far too long with too much silly people involved. You know when you just have people and things that make your job ten times harder than it needs to be, and you can't figure out why adult women act like teenagers...that was my week last week. I just have to get back in the game and get over the huge setback of last week. oh the world of education is interesting.

My budget kinda exploded as a result of irritating people. When I'm upset the solution to my problem is to go out for some dinner and a drink, so I spent more in food then my budget allowed. I reconfigured the whole thing this month so it is actually accurate with bills instead of close guesstimates. Unfortunately, since my favorite band in the world is finally touring the US again all my extra money for the month is gone...and it's only the second day of the month! The show isn't even 'till April! March's extra money will probably be gone at the beginning of March due to a math GRE refresher course I want to take. I have to stick to that, because I need to pay of the downpayment for our wedding ceremony and reception! I need a HUGE sticker board in front of my face all the time that reads "Do you really need that? You have a wedding to pay for!" So I guess February is my month of making my tiny kitchen just as relaxing as going out to eat. My fiance and I make just as, if not better, food than restaurants...but we get so lazy!

It is now February and that means only one thing in the world of education and financial aid....FAFSA! I'm helping so many people with this little form that it's ridiculous. I like what I do, and I never get upset at having to do these things. The same old questions for the most part, and then one really hard question comes up once a week or so. Last night I was at a school's event talking to parents and I hear heartbreaking stories to people scoffing at financial aid. I watched the school's dance team for a little bit, reminiscing about my days in high school...it was nice to see a dance team that doesn't present they're in a music video. I found that refreshing. I like talking to people once I get going. I recognize that I can be too offbeat for some people, but I have a good time regardless. It felt good that something went so right after a week that went so wrong!
