is definitely my working music. I just put it on repeat while I get other work done. I've got quite a bit on my plate, but hey taking it one step at a time and planning time for everything so I don't get stressed out. Only one more month till classes are over! I just gotta push through!!!!

I got lots of duct tape from the 99 cents store, I'm not sure what to do with it yet, but i've been playing around a litle. I made an ID card holder which is pretty sweet. What else...possibly a hat? We shall see...

In other news, I think i'll have a tomato and cheese sandwich for lunch. Hasbrouck can kiss my ass. I really need to move off campus so I can improve my eating. I want VEGETABELES!!!

ITS NOT FAIR!!!

AAARRGG I want to scream!!! Well i'm not THAT angry but i'm a little upset and a lot of dissapointed. I'm looking for rooms off campus, right? Dorming SUCKS and that's a whole nother blog entry, but it really sucks, so I want to live somewhere better for me, you know? So i've seen a few places and the first one was like an off campus dorm. Seriously. It was like a bunch of rooms in a pretty nice house but a really asshole of a landlord. I don't know why but for some reason there seems to be an abundance of real estate tycoons in New Paltz that are have their heart set on screwing over students. So that guy sucked, I don't wanna live there.

Then today I saw this great amazing gorgeous wonder of a house. There was tons of indigenous artwork on the walls and it was really beautiful and wood floors and all of that. It was a dream come true. A very communal space, very inspirational and welcoming. I saw videos on the shelf like "why we fight" and lots of radical books. It's somewhere where I could really move foward with my life. (I mean I AM moving forward, but moving in here would be such a catalyst) I mean, there's a sauna and a friggin garden! Not some crappy soil in my backyard but a real garden! There's lke 3 acres and lots of like open field space where I can just run around and probably camp out a few nights and just chill OUT. It really sounds like a dream house. In the 60s it was like a refurge for LGBTs and like they used to do sweat lodges there and it's like 100 years old and it has a LOT of history.

There is ONE, ONLY ONE THING STANDING IN MY WAY.

Lack of a damn car. You see, it's not that far, but far enough. Of course I can bike to and from campus with ease, but in the winter, it's a little dangerous, scratch that, a lot of dangerous. The only roads to and from are highways. Cars skid and slip often, leading to one more killed cyclist. Not good.

So I have two options. I'm definitely getting my liscence this summer, but I still wouldn't have a car. I can either find someone else who has a car and would fit into the culture of this house. Or I can get a car.

I'm like 95% sure I can't get a car. I'm having trouble coming up with next year's tuition as it is. A car is probably out of the question. THIS SUCKS!!! I feel like having a temper tantrum. I've already cried a little about this. I'm just very dissapointed. I don't know anyone with a car who is A) moving off campus or B)Into the lifestyle.

Oh boy am I going to be searching high and low. This is like my life's goal at the moment. Wish me good luck!

Hi, just looking over old bookmarks and never even saw this blog feature. I kinda like it. While I do most of my writing on paper (composition notebook journals FTW) i'd like to transfer some of those entries on here. Smiling
