So, my first week of being temporarily laid off is going uneventfully. I really don’t know what to do with myself with time off. Once again, going to school and working every minute of free time leaves me not knowing what to do with myself. I wish I owned a bicycle and knew how to ride it. Maybe I could do some exploring.

I got caught up on watching the movies I have back logged. “The Innkeepers” scared the hell out of me. 

They are doing construction at my apartment to get rid of the rotting wooden retaining wall. So I am woken up at 8 every morning by the entire building shaking from the earth moving equipment. If you don’t move your car by 9 they will block you in all day.

I got some texts last night from Hunter. That was a real morale boost. I felt bad because I missed the first one she sent because I slept from 3 to 9 and missed the first one. It was nice hearing from her. 

The unemployment office says that I can draw $175 a week. Not a huge amount but enough to buy groceries and help pay the rent. It makes me want to start attending nursing school as soon as possible. I am sick of squeaking by with my current dead-end job. I saw Dennis at the free clinic Saturday. He told me that before he retired, he was making 80K a year nursing. I want to do that. I just need to apply for the classes and the grants. Why in the hell did I go into political science? It is only practical if you are going to teach, and I hate children anyway. 

Another thing pissing me off is that my computer is running slow. It is that special kind of slow that makes if freeze and the line of text that you were just typing shoots across the screen before freezing the fuck up again. Tumblr gifs make it go crazy. I hate technology. It is wonderful when it wants to work. I also need to get off my ass and get an internet connection. I just have my own weird anxiety things that makes me want to put it off.

Sometimes it is just not worth getting out of bed.
