Yes, you read that right! I am now a college student! Holla! I'm attending two classes in the mornings on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, then jetting straight to work for eight hours. When I get off work, and finally make it home, I have an hour and a half to cook, clean, do my homework, play with my cat (he gets bored and restless when I'm gone, for as the Ruler of Our Domain, he does not get along with other cats and works best alone), grocery shop, do laundry, and other miscelleanous activities.
It's a lot of work, a lot of stress, but so far, I'm enjoying school. It's a little bizarre, being twenty-five years old and in college for the first time...I'm one of the oldest students in my classes, and I'm one of maybe three people who actually has to support themselves fully. But I'm really liking it so far, and I'm doing really well in my classes, which is very exciting. Expected graduation date is September 2010. So just what does an angry feminist obtain an associate's in? Glad you asked! Business management is my field de jour, since it capitalizes on work experience I've already obtained in the past. I'm really looking forward to seeing where it takes me.
Hopefully it leads me in the direction of a new car. Oh Gods, do I want a new car, and badly.
On the personal front, I've decided to also tackle the most difficult thing I've ever done; quitting smoking. Gasp! I know. For those who know me, I am a champion chainsmoker, the captain of the U.S. Olympics Chainsmoking team, but I've decided to quit because I need to save money. I need to save money for quite possibly the most glorious event that will ever happen in my lifetime.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEA BOYEEEEEEEEEEE! Lollapalooza is happening in Chicago on August 7-9, and this girl NEEDS to be there! Why does this girl need to be here? Here's why.

For the uneducated, here's a rundown of why this is the BEST FUCKING THING EVER.
Depeche Mode = My favorite band of all time. True fact. Number one on my list of Bands I Must See Live Before I Die.
Tool= Number two on my list of Bands I Must See Live Before I die.
Beastie Boys= Number three on my list of Bands I Must See Live Before I Die.
Rise Against= The owners of my heart and a soul. I've seen them live once, but once is not enough.
Clearly, this is an event that I must attend. However, three day passes are $190 dollars. I know what you're thinking, "$190 DOLLARS?!?!?!!?!?! ARE YOU FUCKING NUTS?!?!?!?!?!"
While I don't think the state of my mental being has EVER been up for question, it's simply a true fact that this concert was tailor made for me. If I can quit smoking, I can EASILY afford the three day pass. Yes, I really do smoke that much. Yes, it's probably sad that it took THIS to inspire me to quit. Whatever works, though, right?
Now, I love smoking. I LOVE IT. I don't care if it makes me a bad person. But the question here is...do I love smoking more? Or do I love Depeche Mode more?
We're about to find out. Wish me luck, guys!
