1. Figure out how to get magazine subscription forwarded to new address.
2. Figure out how to pay for magazine subscription when it runs out in a few months. And mom's car.
3. Go through my room, which resembles a small storage warehouse since adding my classroom belongings to it, and try to decide what are absolute, can't live without essentials (hello, redundancy) and what I can stand to not have at hand for an indeterminate amount of time.
4. Pack the essentials.
5. (?) Hang out with my friends for the last time for an indeterminate amount of time. Or spend the time with my dog. Sort of leaning towards dog time.
6. Do last minute laundry on darks.
7. Decide if I want to be passive aggressive to my stepmom and take a s***** of pictures of my mom, and my mom and dad when they were together.
8. Find a better way to vent my frustration because I'm being a bitch to certain undeserving people (stepmom deserves it).

-Study for C.S. huge test (mui importante)
-Complete Grammar homework (and there's lots of them)

In conclusion, school takes up a LOT of my time.

wait for direct deposit to show up in bank account
transfer money to savings (it's payday!)
buy two dvds from amazon (it's payday!)
pay off credit card from getting new tires (it's payday )
make payment on student loan (it's payday )

figure out new way to find next job.
look for a studio apartment
look for craigslist roommates



happily 26 hrs of overtime take some of the sting out of the new tires ouch.

-Eat dinner with a different friend from the department.
-Finished alphabetizing his massive CD collection

1. Find a new job. Preferably a good one with decent pay and decent hours. Not treating your employees like crap is a plus as well.
