I am Joe’s being worried…

need to stop by school this week and get proof that I am graduating. Went to the web site and it just says that I have applied, not accepted. And my transcript says that I am still a student. Trying to get rid of premenition that I didn’t do something and that I will not graduate. ***sigh** I am getting sick just thinking about it…

I am Joe utilizing his Club Villa Membership…

I am such an internet addict that I drove all the way to the top of the hill to the resident center to use the DSL in the office center. **sigh** can’t wait until next week when my DSL gets set up.
Anyway, the rest of today went really well. My parents have changed their mind yet again and are now flying down to Sac for my graduation. I didn’t tell them about the car yet; thought that I would surprise them. I did tell Eric though. They are def. giving my money for a graduation present, but I kinda want to know how much. $2000 would be really nice, cause it would cover the down payment for the car. Expecting $1000 which would be good too; I could pay off the bed and put the rest into my savings account. $500 would suck big time. I am such a greedy ashole. I really don’t care if I do or don’t get a present from my parents. But then again, I guess I do care. Does that make me a bad son? Also found out that Dad is going back to Virginia for a reunion at the end of July. I wish that I could go with him, but with all of my new bills that I’ll have starting next month, not sure if I can.
Well, Suzanne and I took her mom to the Taco Bell on the beach in Pacifica for a mother’s day lunch. Traffic was bad at the bay bridge, so we stopped @ Ikea for an hour or so. Got some prices on furniture for our new place. Need to go with mike so we can decide on stuff and pick it out. Mike is busy until after finals though. And not really too sure how much he wants to spend on stuff. I’m hoping that we can go 1/2 on things, but with the car payment on the way, looking for free stuff on craigslist is looking better and better.
Anyway, so we had lunch and walk on the beach for an hour. It was a really good time and I’m glad that Suzanne and her mom let me spend the day with them. The next time I go, I have to remember to bring my camera and take pictures.
Well, has soon as I get online again, I will have pictures of the new place, the new car, maybe pictures of the Dave Matthews concert and pictures of graduation.

I am Joe’s new car…

So the big event this weekend is the new car that I got. 2002 Ford Focus ZX3. I didn’t plan on getting a car when I went car shopping, I just wanted to get prices. But they offered me a deal that I couldn’t refuse. **sigh** I am still in shock that I am driving a new car and not the Metro anymore. I had the Metro for 10 years, so it was hard to give up. But I love my new car. Will talk more about the car and pictures later.
Was suppose to goto Twin Peaks to see KFOG’s Kaboom! fireworks with Tim, Renee and some other people. But decided instead to drive up to Antioch to show off my car to Suzanne’s family. Besides flaking on Tim again (I have to go see Dave Chapelle now or he will never forgive me), I got the extreme pleasure of seeing Suzanne and her sister get into a major fight. Her sister, Kimberlee, had a really good point, in that Suzanne doesn’t do any of the house work and is basicly mooching off of her mom. But the way that Kimberlee tried to get Suzanne to clean was wrong (This included threathing to beat Suzanne up). Suzanne didn’t help with the one-liners that she was throwing at her sister.
So it isn’t my family or anything, but when I still lived at home after high school, I paid my parents rent whenever I could. But mostly I did the cleaning in our house and stuff around the house. Suzanne seems to think that Kimberlee should do the cleaning since she has a less demanding job (she is working at JoAnn fabrics). My question is once Kimberlee starts the electriction program, then Suzanne can’t use that excuse, since Kimberlee will be working two jobs. I really do think that Suzanne should do more around her house, regardless if she doesn’t like to clean or hates it. But that’s my opinion.
Anyway, I have more stuff to worry about, like paying all of my bills. I will still have money left over, but not much. Once I get the bed paid off in 3 months, then I will have extra money comming in. Hopefully, my insurance won’t be too much. **blah**
My room in the new place is comming along nicely. Everything is put away, but there are things that I still need to buy. **sigh** The DSL is turned on on the 14th. I’ve ordered the wireless dsl gateway/router/hub whatever it’s call. Thinkning that I should just get a regular wired one and force Suzanne to connect in my room. But I’ve already ordered the thing, so I guess I will keep it when it gets here.
What else? Dave Matthews is a week away; Star Wars is a couple of days away, and graduation is two weeks away. It seems that everything is happening at once; I’m not sure if I can handle it all. I am very worried that I am going to trip up somehow. I guess I should just take one day at a time.
Suzanne suttlely (talking pregnant bull moose suttle) pressuring me into the military. **sigh** Usually, it bothers me, but I’m letting it slide. I know that she means well and all.
Right now her and her mom are playing Diablo together. It’s very cute. Speaking of, I need to go and to call my mom.
