Well my second student loan is out of deferment now, the monthly cost is more than I expected. So much problems I have to look forward to. Like dual loan payments, walking instead of driving during the cold winter, living according to my landlord's expectations so I don't get kicked out, continuing working on this God awful project at my job, life just doesn't seem too cheerful at the moment.

It'll be manageable though. Even if just barely, I can cover all my costs, and if allowed then starting next week I'll be working overtime. The minimum Threshold for overtime is 10 hours a week, so I'll be spending too extra hours each day from now on, that won't be much fun but it's not like I have anything to do at home anyways. Workers are cleared to work overtime, but I don't think I've been doing very efficient job on my project, and my supervisor saw me making a post online today(I don't think he knows I noticed him though), so he may have a problem with me doing overtime but with any luck(that would be a nice change from things lately), things will go my way.

Things are gonna lot worse before they get better. I may as well prepare myself from now.

It's impossible to get overtime at my work. They'll cut the hours you DO have if your getting close to overtime

From my understanding it's pretty easy at my job. We're all cleared to work over time as long as it adds up to at least 50 hours a week. A coworker of mine with less seniority than me does it like every week.

@Loki: Thanks. We'll see just how brutal it is next week. I'm going to have to modify my sleeping habits for me to make this work right.

I'm gonna talk to my boss about my overtime today, I think it's best if I go over my supervisor's head for this.

And after going over the math, if I can actually get overtime every-week then I'll be making enough to get my own place. This could be great.

Can you consolidate your loans so you only have to make one payment per month instead of two? That's what I did.

You could also maybe look into getting your payment lowered. Most loan providers have a form that lets you lower your payment to one that's contingent on your income. It will mean a longer payoff time, but it might make your life easier.

However, if you think you can soldier through at your current rate, you'll appreciate it later. You've got a good attitude about it.

EDIT: Don't get a place if the only way to pay for it is to get consistent overtime! That's too unreliable of a factor.

I woke up this morning to see fire trucks and an ambulance across the street in front of my best friend's house. My friend's older brother had a seizure and collapsed. Thankfully we know it's not a serious injury because he could still move his body in the morning when I saw him. I don't know what state he's in now but I hope he's fine.

Edit: Apparently they kept him at home (I don't know why yet) and he's had another seizure about 20 minutes ago. All the trucks had to come back again. Now that's worrysome :l It is probably a drug related issue....

Yeah, I'll check out options for lowering my monthly loan payment, I may not have thought of trying to consolidate them though, thanks.

Through a series of mistakes 10 minutes ago, I lost all my work for the day. Overtime or not, I keep making mistakes like that and it'll cost me my job. All the excitement I had today is now replaced by deflatement.

My girlfriend only won 2nd place in the "Most beautiful woman on earth" contest and because of the economy i'm down to smoking $50 bills instead of $100 bills. Life sucks like that sometimes

Edit: I just spilled my caviar all over my cashmere rug...Oh well, might as well get a new rug

It's annoying living with emotionally unstable parents. And I cannot stand being told to do things that I don't like, me inquiring why, and I'm told, "Because I said so." I am a human being. Not only that but particularly one that prides himself in reasoning things out. You cannot give me such bull **** answers and have me bend over backwards for it, and as a result I'm accused of never listening. Except I'd be SO easy (and have been) if I could just be given good reasons. But no, conversing has to be so one-sided (they even had the audacity to accuse ME of being one-sided). They also accused me of disrespecting them and having no respect for them. Why? Because they then went on to say, "Do it because you respect us." Since I say no, and say that is not how respect works, I do not respect them. They are grown *** people but they don't understand what a lame idea of respect that is. I don't respect people, I respect words and actions. When I say I respect someone, it means I tend to respect what they say or do. That does not mean that if anyone that I "respect" does something that I don't respect I must acquiesce or else renounce all respect for them.

Now the guardians are these two things that depress me to be around and make me afraid to get up from my chair and go out into the living room where they are. Didn't even try to do anything against them today, and I asked my mother a question and she was like, "Why should I care about someone who doesn't care about me?" What the hell I didn't ask for that childish, vindictive ****. All I could think of was one time my mother once told me when I was angry with her, "So what, you're just going to be mad huh?" and belittled me because it was childish. Hypocritical double standard crap, like I do it almost ever, or even as bad as her, or my father.

All of this started because when told to get my hair cut really short because of this wedding I suddenly have to go to of my mother's friend who I have never heard of or seen, and my mother probably won't ever see or hear from again. And why the heck do I need to cut my hair for that anyhow? I don't care if my parents don't like it, that's a terrible reason to do it. They can only ever provide terrible reasons. As a human being and a person trying to get a philosophy degree, that really sucks. They wonder why we don't have a social relationship with each other. It's just not going to happen. Eeeeeeever.

@Psycho: Religious differences, yes, political...maybe. moral...depends but i think it's pretty important to at least be on similar moral ground...maybe not though. it all depends on the circumstance of each relationship.

Yeah. My one friend is a total libertarian while her transgender gf is a socialist

:phone:
um, hmm

you're going to have to elaborate on that for me.

Like, my roommate should be a part of the libertarian party. It's economically more conservative Than republicsns and anti big government to extremes, but socially they are more liberal than democrats because many of them do not believe government should have say over some 'moral' issues

The gf on the other hand is very pro big government. Says government should follow socialist countries and have government involvement in a better healthcare system, etc.

Math... I despise it.

School just started a few weeks ago, and I'm already failing Algebra 2. I also took Algebra 1 twice. This is rediculous, no matter how many hours I put into doing my homework and trying to learn it, I just can't get a good grade on a test. I've had 3 math teachers ask if I have dyslexia, I have never been tested for it, but I have no problems with any subject unless it involves math. (Physical Science, Chemistry, and most likely physics next year) So I wouldn't say that I have dyslexia.

I'm at the point where I don't even wanna learn it anymore, most of it is completely useless unless you're gonna be an architect or something. Seriously, what psychologist (what I'm hoping to be) is going to ever use this: http://www.purplemath.com/modules/polydiv3.htm -that is really screwing me up, along with this http://www.whizkids.info/files/fractions5.html -and it's not pushover easy equations like those, it's long exaggerated versions like (x^-3 yz^-3)^2 xy^0 ÷ (xy^0 z^-2)^-3 xy

I know that feeling dude.
I was so good in high school math. When I started college, I was put in to calculus. However, it seemed that it was too hard for me. After I failed my first test, I realized that I needed to study. Luckily, my college has a tutorial center where they can help you with different subjects. I went there whenever I had math (I had math in the evening. I went to the tutorial center before my first class in the morning) to help improve myself. However, I kept going and going, and the math wasn't sticking to me. I ended up just dropping the class, landing a "W," or "withdrawal," from the class. I just ended up taking college algebra during the past summer. Luckily, I got a "B" in the class.

Bahah, that is hilarious. Then again, there is almost no smash debating, so it's not like I have any smash debating to tend to. :laugh:

I'm 19, and that would be nice, it's just moving out wouldn't be too practical, and a huge financial loss because my parents are willing to pay for my college classes.

When I ***** about my parents, I understand they spoil me in a lot of respects, and I appreciate it, but it doesn't make me find any of the drama okay. It would be one thing if we were talking about my sisters or something, but these are the guardians that call the shots and have lived a lot longer and should be a lot more grown up than myself. Age really does mean nothing in terms of how we act or think, or at least I need to start thinking that way.

Is it possible to have a relationship with someone with different moral/ theological/ political views than youself?
Saying no would probably not be wise because I would imagine it happens a lot, but it's not going to be easy, and they would have to respect that their (potential) life time partner is on a completely different ethical and intellectual level than you. That can mean nothing to some but a lot to those who want that kind of connection. Also, it is liable to cause conflicts because when faced with a decision that involves religious/political/moral differences, one must either acquiesce the other and deny their religious/political/moral stance, or compromise, which could either be nice to some who think they need that in their life, but it also could be crippling.

I always say this, but the education system is so out of touch with how human beings live and think it is outrageous. It is only the way it is now because this country has a difficulty fixing old habits, even when they suck.

I'm so sick of being stupid. People calling me stupid is one thing, but when even I can acknowledge that it's true, it's really bad. I'm terrible at social skills and conversations, and I can't follow simple directions half the time.

I also lead an extremely boring life, which kinda restricts me from talking about any interesting topics in the conversational department.

I can empathize with all of that, almost sounds like me coming out and admitting it. Try and look for interests, they'll give you thinks to talk about, to educate yourself, and to get you used to do things and being active. That may overall help you with social skills and even following directions. But in the mean time, realize that these things don't prevent you from leading a happy life.

Don't think you're the only one like this. I can also relate myself. I hope to break out of this shell one day, and I know you can break out yourself too. In the meantime, keep your chin up. Just try to be a little more outgoing. Easier said than done, of course, but as long as you take tiny baby steps, they will all add up eventually. :)

Thanks for the advice, guys.

Now that you mention it, I realize that I do have certain things a bit good. I guess what holds me back from talking most of all is fear. I usually anticipate some pretty bad responses from people, and for that reason I stay silent. Staying positive is quite hard for me, but I will at least try.

golly, dude i know that feeling sooo hard. i was trying to get my stupid financial aid together all this week, and i just couldn't seem to get everything straight. i'm just really disorganized and it's so alienating. i hope to god i can get it together tomorrow, but even then it might be too late then i have to wait for spring semester ):

i'm also pretty socially ********. i can attribute/blame this to, like, my mental health because i have a variety of mental health problems that i'm aware of. it's not quite as easy to explain to someone like. i can just be like 'disclaimer: kid has mild aspergers, add, etc.' it's really frustrating that some people can't just tell and take care how they speak to certain people, but i suppose that's a childish way of thinking.

sigh, it sucks. i blame the internet. talking with texts and conversating with people and posting pictures representing yourself would probably make anyone struggle with being social.

it's so funny how people (at least where i'm from) think it's cute/fashionable/quirky to be awkward and have autism until they actually meet someone with it and they're like, 'wow, what's wrong with that kid?'

Had so many issues with my financial aid that I started in the middle of my first week of class, late, so I had to quickly hurry up and finish all of the assignments. Thank goodness the first week is light.

You're referencing an interesting aspect of people that I sometimes reflect on. For example, you see people watching movies, shows, and anime and you see that some of these characters are strange, wild, different, etc. Some even downright evil. But because we view them as characters, figments for our amusement that we don't see around us, we find them endearing and interesting. But if we were to see people possessing traits or qualities of these characters in reality, they do not get exempted from judgment. I see this all of the time, my friends watch anime, characters of all sorts of crazy types, but with people they don't appreciate or like the same things. Granted, I know one is real and one is not, so it makes sense, but there is still this sense of strangeness to that quality of people. It's similar to how you see a movie, and you see bad guys or unlikable characters in movies or shows, and when it's over these people behave like them. Not intentionally, my point is that despite knowing that the qualities they possess or things they do to people can from the perspectives of the movies and shows seem detestable, they still do it. I'm not thinking of any particular case, what I mean is that all of the people that does these things, what do they think when they read a book, or see any film or show and they see parts of themselves depicted negatively, what do they think? Do they think anything? Must we say that perhaps a bully at school never sees a movie, documentary, book, or show that shows the ugliness of bullying? Or if they did, would they acknowledge it? Brush it to the side?

I understand that wasn't well put together, never really fleshed out these ideas that have gotten into my mind too much, but wanted to share them at any rate.

Thanks for the advice, guys.

Fear wins through glare alone. Sometimes I like to think of fear as a brick wall in front of you that looks thick and sturdy, and that you must go through it to do what you want. But, it's freaking made of bricks? That's stupid! But if anyone ever has the curiosity or determination to charge it, when the wall meets you, you realize it was just a curtain with a brick pattern. The only thing you felt was the soft fabric caressing you, and its gone, behind you. Nothing.

I usually find that most of the biggest regrets in my life come from NOT doing or saying something when I know I wanted to, and not the other way around.

I mean yeah, I have said some pretty terrible things to people that I would take back or reword differently if I could, but nothing that eats me up inside as much as "why didn't I do this? why didn't I say what I was feeling?"

That's a problem with me as well for some people. I find I am able to talk to my friends over the internet or at school quite easily though.

I also know what you mean with your last post. Sometimes I say derpy things and regret saying it, because they were derpy and I feel dumb after. It's also annoying when that happens at school. This only happens to me when i'm tired or i'm really focused on something unrelated to the task at hand. Heck, i'll even share one of my stupidest stories. (That I actually now look back at it and laugh because it was with a good friend of mine.) I was in a SAT prep course over a year ago and the class was at night. It was around 8:30 when we were practicing math problems. I was really out of it at that time and tired from hw and everything so I was ready to fall asleep. My friend being a nice guy, tried to help me with the problem we were all on. After trying to watch him explain it I dazed out and was pretending to listen. Then after he was done he said "Alright, now do you know the answer?" and I said "Oh it's this number" and then he said "Noooo, I wrote the answer for you right there!" and started laughing. I felt really dumb, but I started to laugh as well. We still remember that today for being funny.

I also have a lot of random grammar errors when i'm in a relaxed mood, so sometimes my posts have bad grammar.
So you're not alone sly.

For small things, dont worry about the outcome - take chances and be passionate about life c:

And don't be afraid to be social. I used to be an introvert, but i am completely the opposite of that now. I get teased a lot for knowing a lot of people, but that's just what happens when you strike up conversation and just take chances socially. I may get teased for it, but it always is nice seeing people you know when you go out xD

I also lead an extremely boring life, which kinda restricts me from talking about any interesting topics in the conversational department.
I know what you mean, I have this problem too. =/ Things you think are fun and important everyone else thinks is dumb -.- (SSBB)

It's annoying living with emotionally unstable parents. And I cannot stand being told to do things that I don't like, me inquiring why, and I'm told, "Because I said so." I am a human being. Not only that but particularly one that prides himself in reasoning things out. You cannot give me such bull **** answers and have me bend over backwards for it, and as a result I'm accused of never listening. Except I'd be SO easy (and have been) if I could just be given good reasons. But no, conversing has to be so one-sided (they even had the audacity to accuse ME of being one-sided). They also accused me of disrespecting them and having no respect for them. Why? Because they then went on to say, "Do it because you respect us." Since I say no, and say that is not how respect works, I do not respect them. They are grown *** people but they don't understand what a lame idea of respect that is. I don't respect people, I respect words and actions. When I say I respect someone, it means I tend to respect what they say or do. That does not mean that if anyone that I "respect" does something that I don't respect I must acquiesce or else renounce all respect for them.

Now the guardians are these two things that depress me to be around and make me afraid to get up from my chair and go out into the living room where they are. Didn't even try to do anything against them today, and I asked my mother a question and she was like, "Why should I care about someone who doesn't care about me?" What the hell I didn't ask for that childish, vindictive ****. All I could think of was one time my mother once told me when I was angry with her, "So what, you're just going to be mad huh?" and belittled me because it was childish. Hypocritical double standard crap, like I do it almost ever, or even as bad as her, or my father.

All of this started because when told to get my hair cut really short because of this wedding I suddenly have to go to of my mother's friend who I have never heard of or seen, and my mother probably won't ever see or hear from again. And why the heck do I need to cut my hair for that anyhow? I don't care if my parents don't like it, that's a terrible reason to do it. They can only ever provide terrible reasons. As a human being and a person trying to get a philosophy degree, that really sucks. They wonder why we don't have a social relationship with each other. It's just not going to happen. Eeeeeeever.

Id hate to see your kids if you raise them the way you want to be treated in your delusional mindset.

Last weekend working, which is sad, since I love my workplace. I waitress at a local sushi bar and the food is awesome and my boss is super nice and my coworkers rock. It's like a family there, and after working there 2 years (on and off for school), it'll be sad to stop working there : /
I'm gonna still visit them and get food when im home. They really do make the best sushi in town.

Also, worst part about this.....last day of work is tomorrow and I have a cold. Woke up this morning feeling sick, and when i got home from work it really hit me hard. I hope I'll be okay tomorrow.

Kebler, I really hope you misunderstood my post somehow, because anyone can see where the problems lie in the circumstances I spoke of. I also don't think you enjoy the idea of being held to a ridiculous standard of respect and do things you don't like for crap reasons. Also, your post is extremely poor in taste, not sure how my post warranted such a statement about any potential children of mine. Not saying I'd be a good father, but I know on a personal level, I can say I've learned from the mistakes this family has, and would definitely apply these things in that situation, and that our hypothetical relationship would be for the better because of it.

I am mainly stressing out about life in general at the moment. I have all these things I want to do and get done such as finish up enough credits at my community college in order to finally be able to transfer to uni, move and attempt to actually live on my own since my mom and I don't get along... at all, which unfortunately won't happen until transfer. I've been trying to find a car which I have gotten screwed over several times now with people generally being stupid, "Oh I changed my mind and I don't want to sell it anymore" Then why don't you take your ad off the internet, like really. I am wanting to find a job as well to make a little extra money, but it's not going too well :/. Lol not exactly sure what advice anyone could give since I basically know what needs to be done, it's mainly just a vent.
