Current Annoyances

1. Ridiculously dry skin.
2. Unfair grading by a TA who wasn't present for presentations. All the things you cited me for were discussed explicitly when I was up there talking, bitch. But oh wait, you weren't there!
3. Cold weather.
4. Lack of groceries.
5. Lack of time to go get more groceries.
6. Lack of clean clothes. Laundry has reached critical mass.
7. Lack of time and quarters to remedy the laundry situation.
8. The thought of taking 17 credits next semester. Which I am.
9. Not being able to make it 18 credits because ice skating was all filled.
10. Still not being able to find a book that my boss lent me. I know it's in this room somewhere...I have till the end of the semester to find it.

Planting the Money Tree

Last semester I had been talking to my landscape TA about howm uch I should expect to make. I asked her if I could make 50-60k, because I can live very comfortably on that. She said "Um, maybe after like 20 years..."

I kinda died inside a little, and wondered whether or not it was going to be worth it.

The subject came up again in lecture/studio on Friday, and it appears that there is light at the end of my tunnel!
