sorry for the interruption.

it’s not that i’ve neglected the blog accidentally. I knew i had it, I knew I had to write something soon. I just didn’t know what to write. See, I was in the middle of writing while watching the office last thursday (a good show… well, the part I saw anyways) when a WYFF ad bumper came on. It stated that the state’s largest student lender was going to stop lending.

And that’s when my heart stopped. The only reason I’m able to come to Clemson is that I get student loans. FROM. THAT. LENDER.

So now I’m going insane because the only other alternate lender that the school uses (since BofA and Wachovia no longer lend in SC either) is CITIBANK. Yeah, the one that just got the bailout. That has to go through some sort of restructuring. That is probably STILL going to fail.

I am waiting anxiously, praying I get a job and can afford my last semester of college (I only have ONE left after this year, I decided to graduate early so I can hopefully come up with the dough a little easier).

So that’s why I haven’t written. Sad times. We were doing ok in this recession until now; now, it hits home.

tonight

wake forest game tonight–go tigers! going to watch it, going to eat wings and mac and cheese and ignore all the “bad” things that happened today economically and the fact that i need to find a job! i’ll figure it out…

The thing is, I’d call some banks, but they’re not going to be hiring in this market.

So, for tonight, it’s all good. (And you know what? It is. I mean–I’ve got plenty of cash for the rest of the year. I might have to buckle down, but I’ll be good.)

EDIT: This game is NOT good.

voter registration.

i didn’t write about this earlier because i wasn’t sure i wanted to write about it, but here goes: I didn’t register to vote. And because the time on this thing is wrong, i should have registered yesterday, not two days ago (silly wordpress)… saturday was the last day.

the thing is, i meant to, but i didn’t… if i had a candidate that i actually liked, i would have. but seriously, i don’t want to be responsible for putting either of those people in office. obama lacks experience, joe biden lacks eloquence, john mccain lacks a clear vision and a plan and sarah palin lacks common sense and intelligence in the realm of politics in general. there are so many people who deserve to be on the ticket far more than these four:

1. bill richardson
2. rudy giuliani (provided he ran a better campaign of course)
3. mitt romney
4. hillary clinton (yeah, didn’t like saying that)
5. john kerry
6. the hat hanging on my closet door
7. ron paul

the thing is, i don’t particularly like any of the above people’s platforms, but they were effective leaders with strategies (aside from the hat, which in general would have just done a better job). and i chose from both parties because it is ridiculous to make this into party politics. the simple facts are that no one in this election is qualified, much like the carter election in the 70s. good job in the primaries, america.

so i abstain from registering and voting not as a matter of principle, but as a matter of fact–the fact that none of these people will do a bang-up, better than bush job. so prove me wrong, candidates, please, because i need the economy to bounce back so i can get a job after i leave school.

now back to normal blogging.
