• I've had some ups and downs since my last post.  The thing annoying me right now is money.  I've always tried not to complain about my family's poor financial situation, but in my college years it's become downright inhibiting, more so each year - you can't live life as you should be able to.  No vacations, very little in new clothes, my sister can't get braces, lapses in dental coverage, not being able to fix/maintain vehicles time after time.  We're bankrupt, yet we can't afford the $700 fee to declare it.  Starting October 1, it becomes much harder to declare bankruptcy, in favor of the creditors.
  
  Anyway, the most immediate annoyance is gas.  I'm commuting to school now because my scholarships were only for four years and I can't afford an apartment/dormroom. On 9/9, I got a refereeing check for $150.  On 9/12, I got $100 for my birthday.  By 9/22, I had three dollars left (and still do, because I haven't gone anywhere).  What did I spend it on?  Gas and a handful of meals.  I got myself a t-shirt for my birthday.
