Can I just tell you about the day I’ve been having? But first, some context.

I go to college in Oregon, but I’m originally from Colorado. This meant that, when I turned 21 and my driver’s license expired, I was out of state and couldn’t gt a new, “adult” license. After a very rude DMV employee berated me over the phone back in January, I sent a $3 check to the Colorado Division of Motor or whatever, in Denver, to get a sticker that extends my license for another year, until I could get BACK to Colorado to renew it for real. I did this. Continue reading “I’d Like To Lodge a Complaint” →

…is about to commence. Today is my last day of my junior year of college. Holy graduation, Batman!

It feels like just yesterday Rachel and I were whining about how college seemed so far away, and now we’re about to freaking graduate. I mean, yeah, we have a year, but still.

It’s just so weird to think that this time next year I’ll be moving into an apartment or a shared house and getting a full time job and not going to class ever again. School has been such a massive part of my life for essentially the entirety of said life, and it’s ending in a year. What the heck am I going to do with my time?!

Sorry, it’s hard for me to focus on this blog because Quinn and I are at Maggies and he’s helping me edit my short story about vampires before our next class together. It’s really coming along, this silly little story, and I can’t remember being happier with a piece as a whole. It’s nineteen pages of jokes about vampirism and being Italian but somehow coalesces into a really cute story about friendship and cultural differences. I’m not sure which draft that happened in, but I’m glad it happened in any case.

Then we watched the new Audi commercial with Zachary Quinto (SWOON) and Leonard Nimoy, which is ADORABLE, then Quinn made me watch the Leonard Nimoy song about Bilbo Baggins, which is HILARIOUS.

Basically, it’s been a good day and I’m almost an adult. That is all.

So I’m broke. Like, actually, truly broke. I’m so broke that last night I had pretzel sticks for dinner. That was partially because I was lazy and because my kitchen is too dirty to improvise an actual meal (cough dishes cough), but it was mostly because I’m really really broke. Not having much money has made me much more conscious of my own spending, and so to make sure I have enough money to survive while I’m in Spain, I made myself a budget.
