My transmission died. D:

I've been thinking about getting a cat for a while now but more recently I've actually thought about doing it. I've had cats in the past so it's not like it's a new experience but I still have some concerns about it. Mostly being able to take care of it properly. I can afford the extra cost for food and litter but medical expenses scare me.

Oh well, we'll see i guess.

My transmission died. D:

That sucks >.<

My Civic's transition was on it's way out before I finally replaced it. $3000 x_x of course, the worst part was that the car was stolen not too long after that :\

What should be the last essay of my way, way over-prolonged university career is now 2 days overdue and still no closer to being done. Had to literally go back to the drawing board today and draw a bunch of charts to try and get it worked out, but it's all still going painfully slowly and will probably be several days late. I know the prof will still take it because he's on vacation right now and won't be looking at them till next week anyway, but this is tiresome and humiliating. Worse, I have to constantly distract myself with music or a movie or internets or something, because otherwise I get too discouraged working on it, so it's really going slowly. Hardly a surprise, but after 10 years, university is simply not fun anymore ~__~

You're pretty tough to go that long. After 6 (the last 2 only part time) I couldn't stand taking classes any more. Still haven't done any more work towards my MS, and I still don't want to. Real life is so much more engaging... in that it eats my time far better.

I spent 8 years getting my undergrad mostly due to not knowing what I wanted to do and trying to take as much easy classes as possible.

Also focusing on amvs rather than academics held me back, but I don't regret any of it.

Hopefully I can go back to school next year for theater/acting and cooking. I don't need a degree for them, but I want to learn them by my own accord.

You sir are a trooper.

Yeah, unless I come across a pile of money or suddenly get the desire to change my career path (unlikely) I definitely don't think I'll be heading back for a Masters. >_>

So major kudos to you for sticking it out that long.

I worry about other people too much and it stresses me out. Always wish I can do something to help but usually can't. Feel like a shitty friend by standing around on the sidelines.

This is something that often nags me. It's doubly hard when there's distance and other obstacles involved. Although I don't feel there's such a thing as "too much", it's kind of normal to worry about other people. Not much that can be done about that, sadly :/

perhaps "too much" for me to handle sometimes makes more sense to me. id be happier if my lfe was in shambles and everyone else around me was happy.
