Note from the blogger: I love the color green. Especially dark green. The darker the better. I once saw a car that I thought was black, but when I got close to it I realized it was a very dark green. I knew I was in love at that very moment.

Trying to make things work

My bicycle is broken. I still rode it to the library today; with no breaks, a rusted chain, crooked seat, and low air in the tires. It would be a great bike if I could afford to buy the parts to fix it...I try to make it work.

I was told I shouldn't get a job. I spent $50 on groceries my first week in Atlanta; on a $100/month stipend. I'm down to 1/2 a block or creamcheese, 1/2 a package of sliced cheese, peanut butter, jelly, 3 yogurts, and 1 box of genero-brand shells and cheese...I still try to make it work.

My first counceling session is today. I'll go once a week to Swanee, Georgia. It's about 40 minutes away. I could borrow a car to use, if I could put gas back in it. Oh, but once I get my car I can drive that! Yeah, and who pays for the insurance and gas after a month?...I guess I'll try to make it work.

I want to go home for Christmas. My mom wants me home for Christmas. I can't afford the trip. My mom sure can't afford it. Yet she's trying to find me cheap enough tickets to get me there. Otherwise, I spend a couple weeks in an empty house. It'll be quite the lonely and depressing Holiday Season...How the hell do they expect me to make this work?

I was better off in Mississippi.
