okay, so this is what happened. sometime after my EDIT lab (or during) i had a plastic bag from the college bookstore that i left sitting somewhere. in that bag was my brand-new-still-in-the-plastic-$150-textbook for my genetics class. oh, and a new binder that i bought so i can file my old notes nicely just as i did last semester. i keep hoping i left it in the computer lab and an instructor picked it up, but there's a good chance i left it somewhere that's unattended and unsupervised. i've done everything in my power to try and find it, but it's not going so well. still waiting to hear back from my instructor on whether he found something or not. so i'm probably going to have to dish out yet another $150 for that.

plus i still have to buy my EDIT textbook, which i was going to get used from this one girl. and she stopped answering my emails yesterday. so, uh, yeah. that's $100 for a new book. and i need it before the end of tomorrow because i have to do a quiz online by 9:00pm. -_-;

and i got my first cellphone bill, and it has all the setup fees and crap on it. it's pretty expensive. i really don't know how i'm going to pay for that. then there's my other bills, which usually amount to $400 or so. and i'm only working weekends now. i make very little. my credit cards are nearly maxed. my chequing account is running on fumes. and i have this savings account with about $500 just sitting there. and i swear, i will cry if i spend a single dollar from it.

i wish my mother and burg would pay me back already. i'm dying here. -_-

somehow i keep hoping things will work out. i think i'll do up my 2005 tax return ASAP without the stupid form the government is withholding from me and see how much i can get out of that, but it'll probably be too little too late. the form is for interest paid on student loans, and i paid $8000 worth of student loans in 2005. so that'd be a pretty huge part of my tax return, don't you think? -_- but i'm desperate, i guess.

anyway, yeah, fun! i'm trying stay positive, even though all this has happened, and i'm already swamped with stuff for school. i just wrote out a huge paragraph about what exactly i'm busy with right now, or will be soon, but i realize that's all i blog about these days and would make for a really boring read on an already annoying post.
