Okay, so this is a loaded one.
WORK RELATED
* For the last few weeks I've been working two jobs. I wanted to make sure I was officially hired before putting my two weeks notice at the former place, but the new place got the idea that I could work any hours around that so I've been putting in 40 hours at new place, 15-29 at old place. Now, this isn't THAT bad I guess, if it weren't for the daily drive back and forth which takes about 2 hours just for the drive a day as I've not had a single day off between driving to these jobs, moving my stuff and doing one final class.
*I do like the new job so far. A lot better pay (once I finally get paid, they said it might take a month to get my first paycheck... and for someone already struggling :/ that's another reason I've kept the other job, I needed the weekly paycheck to be able to pay my bills after family stole everything else out from under me. It also has some neat benefits such as FREE medical (not this take out every week's paycheck medical) and they have a point reward system based on productivity in which I could even redeem for a laptop after a few months; as well as PAid time off (20 hours worked is 1 hour paid time off) I'm not sure, but my first paycheck might be for a few thousand which will... kind of cover for the money my family stole/harassed me out of, except for the whole BEING SO RIDICULOUSLY BUSY
*Hurricanes have made gas prices sky high D:
SCHOOL RELATED
It's just a spanish class, but 5 cred. I swear if they add another requirement after this, I AM a white boy after all... jk, I don't own any guns.
However, there is a bad thing; with driving between the two jobs, it's been making time tight. Another thing; I signed up for an in class lecture class. It ended up being hybrid which is false advertising. The reason this is a problem is they refused to refund me after the first class even though they should have, and they didn't like my reason being "because the class wasn't what it said it was" Which I think is 100% a good excuse; I can't shell out another $200 for an online course ALONGSIDE the in class materials. Which means I guess I gotta try, but I'm already so far behind because I can't afford the materials so all this stuff they're doing already, I'm nowhere at because of it. I also hate how the teacher treats me like a slacker because I don't do the online stuff yet.
MOVING RELATED
Most of my stuff is at the new place. The only things not are my desktop and some clothes. Next sunday will be my official move date (even if almost all my stuff is over there) Then I'm gonna clean/dust/unpack and organize. Probably get rid of more things. (I'm pretty sure I got rid of over half my belongings during the moves)
I -reaaaally- hope to get back into art soon. Just... hoping one more week.

but I've decided to stick with the class. I may end up with a C due to lack of online access, but oh well. Last class.
Well, Let-sensei is rooting for you passing all the same. : )
