Lime

I don't think I like working lots of days in a row. I had Monday off, but since then, I've been working every day. But I think I might just feel this way right now. I mean, I need to earn money, and working is the way to do that... and I'd rather have short shifts every day than long shifts every other day.

Anyway, there aren't any more shifts open for next week, so it looks like I'll be getting a break. Hopefully I can use that time for something productive.

I decided I really want a DS. I want the green one that comes in the bundle with that cooking game.

Pretty sweet, right? I'll wait until my next paycheck to get it. Actually, Rachel will probably take this one and I'll have the blue one. But really, it's all the same in the end.

I think I have a plan. I need to go to school this fall. I have no money, but Mom has said she'll pay for tuition, and I won't have to pay for rent if I live at home, so... if I want to, I can go to SLCC. I guess I'll probably just be doing general ed stuff. Mom said she'd take me over there to talk to somebody about all of it. If I do that, I can keep saving money and maybe buy one or two things I want or need, like the aforementioned DS, or a new computer (this one is getting old).

I just hate how going off to Ogden has somehow set me back a year. It drained all my money and sent me back home, where I got my old job and lived in my old room again. I don't even have good grades to show for the time I spent up there. Quite the opposite, in fact. But I guess it had to happen, right? I can't say it was really a complete waste.

I need to go to sleep. Today was a good day, all things considered. It had its rough patches, but we made it through them and things are okay. I'm doing alright.
