Things kind of suck right now

Sucks:

• We found out this weekend that Ben’s car only has a month or so to live. We’ve started looking for a new (used) car. Ugh, the hassle, the money, etc. At least we’ll have a shiny new and improved vehicle at the end of it.
• I hate my clinical. Seriously. I almost dread going there. The days are so long, there’s so little to do. I can’t stand my professor and I’m so bored in class (yet I have to study for the tests to get A’s). I can’t wait to be done with Mental Health.
• I’ve had to act like a real student lately: doing homework on my Saturday, staying in on week nights, no energy to cook or clean, and the usual money woes.

Not so Sucks:

• Things are not THAT bad. I’m working on a new scarf that I’m in love with.
• My folks might be able to come visit the weekend before my birthday.
• I got hooked on Animal Crossing again. Only bad thing is that I can’t spend hours on it like I used to.
• I joined a new blog, http://shot-a-day.blogspot.com/
• My new phone is so so sweet. I love having access to email and internet when I have just seconds of time for breaks at clinical. I also love using Zenbe to organize my lists.
• I’ve become decent friends with a lot of my classmates. I’ll be sad to part with them at the end of the year.
• Graduation is in sight! We had a short meeting today about the pinning ceremony.

Just counting my blessings here, trying to stop myself from being such a whiner. Also procrastinating studying for our exam tomorrow.
