TLC presents...Stress, and how NOT to hit someone over the head with a baseball bat

Did I not specifically state, in past journals, that I would be going crazy after I had been so bored the first three weeks?
Amazing how that works, isn't it?

This week has been more over the idea of stressing under a number of things:

1) Financial needs
2) Keeping up with papers (Which is only one class, so THAT'S a problem)
3) Networking (it's harder than it sounds, trust me)
4) Keeping up with projects and personal time
5) Financial needs
6) building a reputation
7) maintaining my current job and even finding a second one
8) social pressure
9) Financial needs I'M A PENNY PINCHER
10) etc., etc., etc.,

Mostly, though, I have indulged into how I will maintain my college education going into the next year. YES, I have been applying for scholarships. YES, I am currently holding a job on campus (and even looking for a second job for when Winter Term starts up). YES, I am "trying" to spend less money every other day and YES, I even have art commissions going through a few people willing to take pity on me, apparently (one of my commissioners I have complete faith in; the other two commissions I have received I have never even heard from yet...)

Ugh. Recession's are hard.

So I've decided my plan of attack would go like this:

--Apply for becoming an RA for next year and have my room and board paid for me, if that doesn't work out...
---search out for cheap rooms and apartments around Ashland (if that's possible), and if it's not...
----find a motor home or a tent. Live in that through the summer and even through the next year (Since my current job allows me to work through the summer...)

Sounds reasonable, right? Of course it does.
MOVING ON.

I've managed to make some homemade Christmas cards that I'm thinking about donating to hospitals, family and friends. They're really clean and smooth looking as well! Ah, the power of a MacBook Pro truly is an amazing thing.
Hot Chocolate Journey still in progress, though I did come across one type that definately stuck out from the rest...
Registration is coming up, I get to sign up earlier than most of the freshman because of my Honors status. YES! (however, Intro to Drawing is only available to Art Majors. Much sadness). I'm looking at 19-21 credits. ALL RIGHT!
Ring Around the Moon is awesome (the play in which I helped build the set for). Wish you could all see it. But you get to see Harvey, so we're equal on that part.
and I'M GETING PSYCHED FOR THANKSGIVING. I hope I manage to get to see everyone while I'm up back in The Dalles!

Wow, long Blog today. But y'all go enjoy yourselves today!
