I'm not waiting on a lady

lj-cut text="Cut for spoilers about my life.">

Those of you who knew I was expecting a phone call today from EDD about whether or not they'd allow me into an education program where I would continue to receive unemployment benefits while I attended class and also had the keen eyes to spot my offhanded lament this afternoon could probably guess that things didn't go well.
It was, as I feared, a session where I was asked questions they should already have the answers to, and then they said "We'll get back to you next week". I'm no longer certain if that's preferable to just being told that they decided to deny me. Because at least then it would be *done* and I could *move on*.
So I had a smoke, and I had a drink, and now my head hurts and I've been drinking water all evening. I can't put off buying books any longer, so I'll work something out there. And tomorrow I have the first day of my final class, and I should be able to tell what gets dropped. So for now I'm going to pretend that things are normal and I'm just a student who's packing up everything he owns and moving.

(no subject)

Alas, the last of the Manly Man soap has lathered its final bubble. Luckily, I found a place on the interwebs to order more.

And since I obviously don't have enough time sucks....

Quick update.

Today was better than yesterday. I've decided which classes I'm dropping, and I picked up many of the books for the ones that made the cut--the cute bookstore employee said that if I returned them by next Friday, I could get 90% of it back. (Probably minus taxes.) So that helped. Um. I kept the bill to under $300 and I did NOT buy the PNH book which was ONLY NINETY NINE CENTS SO CHEAP SURELY THAT DOESN'T COUNT IN THE GETTING RID OF EVERYTHING ORDER and then got to AAA to pay my registration after three trips up and down the stairs (everything is upstairs right now while they remodel) and then put Nauti into the shop so that she can pass her smog test.
Note to self: Check balance for my brother.

woo.
