Unemployment

When I was getting unemployment at the beginning of this year, they called me to find out where I had been applying. So I told them a few places, and said one place offered me a position, but it conflicted with my school schedule, so I had to deny it. Then they told me that the money I had gotten from them for a few months, I didn't deserve (?) so I had to pay them back. $800 to be exact. And they expect me to pay it back how? Knowing that I'm UNEMPLOYED? I got a few letters in the mail from them, stating that I owed it, but never told me how much of a minimum payment I could make, and there was NEVER a due date. Then, late last week, I got a letter saying that I have 20 days from the date of the letter to pay the entire balance, or they're sending me to a collections agency. The letter was sent out August 31st, and I got it like last Tuesday or something. So I have like less than a week to pay it? Yeah, OKAY!

So I tried calling them today to see if I could get on a payment plan, and of course, there were no available representatives to talk to me, and apparently I CAN'T HOLD, it just tells me to try back later, and hangs up. GREAT. I'm just annoyed, and wanted to vent. Normally, I would just send V a text message, telling him how annoyed I am, but his phone isn't working. Which totally sucks. Ugh!

But at least I've finished my economics homework for the week. Now I'm relaxing, watching SVU, and eating my lunch.

EcoNOmics

I'm taking Basic Economics this semester and it's stupid. I don't like it at all and it requires way more effort than I was expecting and wanting to put into it. Like the homework isn't too bad, but I have to read the chapter to understand how to do it (and we all know how I feel about reading, unless it's Twilight related). I have two homework assignments in eco, and I just finished one of them.

I'm about to start the second, and then I'm going to maybe finish my humanities homework so I'll be homework free for the rest of the week. Aside from one problem I need to finish for my math class, and look over my homework to make sure I understand remember it all, because we have a test on Friday.

I just got two mosquito bites on my legs. One on my right knee and the other on my left thigh. I thought I saw a mosquito flying in the hallway earlier this morning, but then I thought maybe it was just a piece of dust flying around. Def a mosquito and I def just sprayed myself with

Shit smells good! And it doesn't leave your skin all oily! Hooray!

Now back to my homework :[

Family Photo & Halloween Costume

Sarah's birthday dinner.

Today I have a whole lot of nothing to do. I think I'm going to clean the house. Like really good. And maybe even clean up in the back (porch/deck/yard), and maybe wash my car. We were thinking of having everyone over tomorrow afternoon to do a last swimming day/bbq of the summer! Ahh! I can't believe it's already September and that next month will be October and you know what happens when October gets here. Everything zooms by my face. Vacation, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years. Yikes! I'm excited though. Especially because when October comes, my job starts for good, so I'll have money! YAY!

Also, I just decided what I'm going to be for halloween. Chococat. I wasn't sure I could pull something off that would beat my costume last year, and even though this one might not, I'm still super excited about it. It's unique and hilarious and I <3 Chococat! I Google-d "chococat halloween costume" and only ONE popped up, and it's perfect. Exactly what I was looking for:

I'm quite excited to make it!

Oh, Carol

Thursday Stuff

This morning I went to the mall with my sister and bought her a birthday present. We spent a few hours shopping, and then she brought me home. I went grocery shopping at Walmart, and enjoyed a refreshing and delicious root beer

(don't worry, I was driving with my knee while I snapped this photo, I'm not that careless! HA.)

and then to Publix to get some things that Walmart doesn't have (fresh salmon, spinach, V's deodorant, Arnold Palmer in a big jug, and lemon herb butter).

By the time I got home from all of that, it was already 2 o'clock. I planned on doing all of my homework today, so I had to start right away if I wanted to finish. I spend about 2 hours on my humanities homework, and it's all done, but now I have economics. Although...I'm not quite sure if what I have is actually homework, because in our syllabus, on our course schedule, it says there isn't any homework due until the last week of September. I emailed my professor and asked her about it, and I'm really having a hard time beginning to work on it, because I don't think it's actually due this week (or next, for that matter!).

So I decided to blog, and then I'm probably going to sit on the couch and watch something I have recorded from earlier this week (either Kate Plus 8, or What Not to Wear).

Tomorrow is my sister's birthday...she's going to be 29! V is off, but I have class until almost 1. My sister invited us to swim with her, her significant other, and maybe some of her friends, and I'd like to go! I'm not quite sure if I'm ready for summer to end. I don't feel like it lasted long at all this year. Although, I don't feel like anything really lasted very long this year. Time has flown by. You know next month, it'll be 1 year since I started my yoga practice at OPY? ONE YEAR. I'm not quite ready to give up my shorts (especially because I just got a really cute pair a couple weeks ago), tank tops, bathing suits, and swimming just yet. I know the weather won't actually start changing for another few months, but who knows. Our first "cold front" of the season might come out of nowhere! Sometimes I feel like it's different outside, like not as humid (which is REALLY NICE), and the breeze is a bit chilly. IDK, I have mixed emotions about this time of year right now.
