I'm just not very lucky with money, it often seems.

I'm getting audited *again* on my taxes. Seriously. This is the second time. Dad mailed me the info, so hopefully I can figure out what they want and send it all in. Bah! I really don't understand though - I didn't have any income in Canada, and no taxable income whatsoever. There is no way that i could owe them anything. There is certainly no way they could owe me anything either. My balance was square and fair. So they are just being picky because they are *assholes*! bah.

In other news, I have late fees on my rent this month because I for some dumb reason thought that it was due on the 15th and not the first. Granted, the late fee was not huge by any means, but stil,, it was there, and it made me annoyed at my own dumbness. I had to go re-read my lease and everything, and my own stupidity lept up from the page at me to wave and say 'hello' :p

I am not sure if my internet is really really fixed yet or not. I've certainly been having *fewer* problems lately, but I haven't been on for any really long stretches. It was still twitchy last night when I was trying to play DC, but that was the only time.

I *think* I mostly understand lines drawings. I'm going to have to practice some more. I'd like to practice a *lot* more, but I have to work on my presentation for next Wednesday (30-40 min, to to exceed 40 on pain of death). I am still waiting for one of the books to come through ILL, but I can get started without it.

Tonight, since I don't have game, I plan to work some on the presentation, work some on lines drawings practice, and work on some writing. I have been able to keep up with writing everyday so far. I haven't bee able to finish anything yet, however. I still need to start Pieces back up, but I'm feeling unmotivated. I should also work on original publishable material, too. I'm still waiting to hear anything back about Ice though.

Right now, I kind of want to go swimming. I've been incredibly lazy all week - I just went to the gym that one time, despite better intentions. Maybe I can make myself go tomorrow. It is just such a pain to make the time because of how the buses work, excuse excuse excuse. I'm not going to be able to go swimming after next Wednesday, as I'm getting my tattoo retouched.

Right, enough babbling, I need to actually do something. It is almost 7. Maybe it is too cold for swimming...? Meh.

I really did not intend for this to be so whiny. The good news is that i bought Office again, so that I can actually open and edit my files properly :p

So. I told myself that once I learned how to drive, i would let myself get some sort of small easily travelled dog.

However.... Sarah, one of the upper year students here, is trying to make me take a kitten. She has like ten (just born and thus not actually ready for giving away)to get rid of. i do love me some kittens. Yes, I am allergic, but I know that I can adjust to living with cats. In fact I'd become pretty adjusted over the summer, what with half the places I went having cats. One of the girls here has a dog, and it reminds me how much needier they are. maybe i am not quite at a point where I can have a dog? I dunno. maybe I should just get another hamster that I can pawn off on my sister in 2 years or so :V

I still need to learn to drive, though.


And I miss my hammy :(
