it has been quite a while…

School is out! That feels good to say, so ready for a break. The unfortunate thing is, I CAN’T FIND A JOB! I’m not even looking for a summer/temporary job, just a normal part-time job! Nothing is out there… I’m afraid I’ll be working ChaCha all summer. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, I’d just prefer some experience I can use on my next major job hunt: Post-Graduation.

Anyways, we started a garden on the balcony! We’re growing marigolds, sweet pea, dianthus, tomatoes, onions, lettuce and basil! Everything is growing pretty well right now, we even have a tomato on the vine and two types of lettuce sprouts! We’re using coffee grounds on the lettuce, and it sprouted after three days instead of the usual 8-10. EXCITING! I’ll take pictures soon.

I think that’s about all the info I have for right now. I’ll type more later!

love,
me

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.
