Graphite Fingers

This morning I was feeling a bit inadequate. We have to bring certain supplies to our art class most of which I had to buy because I didn't have them at home. I couldn't get everything because, well, art supplies are expensive and I work two jobs just to pay rent and bills on time. So I've been using the shopping bag I got my giant sketch book in as my portfolio for the time being and hopefully I'll be able to round up the money for a real one within a week or so.

I always end up feeling like everyone has more money than I do at some point during the school year. A few people showed up with all the things the professor required the day after she gave us the list. Well over 100 dollars, an amount I have no business dropping at one time. This financial struggle of sorts does make me feel good at times, though. Like I'm working really hard for what I want and I don't have to rely on anyone to help me.

My desire to be financially independent while also not having to fight to keep from being homeless is post for another day I think.

I'm at work currently. Part of our summer project is to clear out some of the junk our office has had since the 70s. My coworkers and I had to toss a bunch of stuff away. The vast majority of it was from when I was a toddler and a few things from when the department was created. We were pretty overcome by dust by the end of it.

all done! :D

My breakfast/lunch (I get to work at 1 and I usually don't eat before then >.< ). Pretty typical. The supermarket I go to has 69 cent bagels so I get two. Also this giant tea lemonade from the starqueen. Always ask for light or no ice. I always feel like restaurants are ripping you off when they add ice.

It was really fucking hot today so I felt that a few cubes would be fine.

My new apartment won't be ready to move into until the first. I was hoping to move in a little sooner but it looks like the current resident won't be leaving until the night before. Hopefully they'll have the place all cleared out by the time I show up with my fam to move things in. I have to look for things for my new place since most of the stuff that I'll need in the place I'm in now belongs to my roommate. Maybe I'll make a post about my dream apartment items next ;)

Going out to dinner with one of my best friends from home after work. I'm one of those annoying people that take pictures of their food so expect to see that too!
