Luke Grown Up

I’m now down to a pretty workable routine that still needs some tweaking, but it’ll work for now. My friend Bill and I just put in our applications for a place that’s really close to campus, and we are awaiting a call back.  The rent isn’t too bad, considering the proximity to campus and such.  I’m doing the best that I can with what little money I have, as I haven’t really bought anything but food (and one ticket to The Dark Knight) for weeks now.  I haven’t even had to fill up the gas tank on my dad’s car yet - he’s lent it to me for the rest of the summer and all I really do is drive to work and come home. I would love to go to Boston to see Sara but that requires money that I definitely don’t have. When you’re taking class, it’s hard to make enough money to do anything extra, unless I wanted to kill myself and work 50 hours a week (which I guess wouldn’t be that bad - I would definitely get more stuff done, I bet).  Things aren’t going badly, per say, but my parents keep freaking me out because all they talk about is money. Granted, money is a big deal, but I can’t focus on my work if I’m talking about money all the time. I make ends meet how I need to, and I never intend on being late with my rent.

I just wrote an article for today.com about the Sprint Cup. It was pretty god-awful, but I thought it was funny. I basically just talked about the biggest losers and why we need them in order to have winners.  Hopefully they like it.

Anyway, I have work in a couple hours, so I should probably get started on my lab report that’s due tomorrow.  As long as I can make it to the fall, I think I’ll be okay.

I’ll keep you all posted on anything interesting!
