It’s a Tuesday, and kind of a boring one at that. There’s nothing really to update. Hayes’ best friend came down this weekend. We went to a white trash party on Friday night. I worked Saturday. Sunday, we cooked dinner, then got upset because Hayes’ ex-girlfriend called him. He didn’t want to be rude to her, but in the process, it hurt my feelings. When my feelings get hurt, I usually get kind of pissed off.

Work. School. Boyfriend. That’s all my world revolves around. Do I mind that much though? I`m working on my SOP for my grad school application. It’s slowly coming along. Right now, I have no idea how I`m going to pay for grad school, or even pay for an apartment. The last time I got money from my mom was when she was paying me back money that I had loaned her. Being at this awkward stage of poor, yet not poor enough for government assistance, sucks.

That’s my credit score. Not bad, but not as good as I could have wanted it. I decided to check today (using freecreditreport.com), just out of curiousity. If I’m going to Grad School, I`ll need a loan. I`ll also need a place to leave regardless, so I really should start manninng up, saving money.

The $1000 was the school was a blessing. I used it to pay off all but $300 on my Discover card. I was planning on canceling my never-used CITI card, but the report said it was a good thing to have 2 cards listed. What’s hurting me is that both my cards haven’t been opened but a couple of years or so.

God I feel mature.
