Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes.

Second semester starts tomorrow. I'm a little worried because so far in my college carreer, I've had issues with my tuition payments. I received a 4,000 dollar federal grant this year for my grades last year, as well as the fact that I am majoring in a Social-Service providing field. However, my student financial services comittee is seeming to have issues with applying said grant to my balance from last semester. You'd think that a state school would be able to handle a government-provided grant pretty easily, but apparently not.

I am excited nonetheless, though. I am excited to not be stuck in my family's house anymore. I am excited for the smell of new textbooks and the clean slate of new teachers.

I am excited to start my new weed-diet. Yup, until midterms, I am choosing to only smoke on the weekends. This isn't some New-Years resolution or Lent sacrifice, this is a real deal I've made with myself just because I need to know that I can do it. For me. And I'm excited for myself.

I'm also excited to start making jewelry. I used to be really in to making earrings and such and I figured I'd take it up again since I won't be relying on sweet mj for my extracurriculars anymore. Who knows, I might even sell them on the etsy account I created a few months ago, and if not that, I wanna bring them to Summercamp Fest this May to trade for booze and drugs. Last year at Summercamp I got this pair of earrings from some roadie girl walking around selling jewelry out of her backpack. They've been my favorite pair ever since.

The final thing I am excited about is getting my tattoo. Yep, at some point between now and my birthday (le 20 Avril) I will be getting my very first ink. I know exactly what it will be and exactly where I want it, but I'll save my time describing it to you and post a picture once I have it.

So there you go, an optimistic post to cancel out the one I wrote straight out of mope-town yesterday. I hope all is well with everyone (and anyone) reading this. Wish me luck!

(and yes, I love David Bowie and don't know why I haven't quoted him before on this blog)
