Went and saw Rob…he is on the prowl talking to people about my situation. A relief on my part. I guess there are not a lot of Centennial Village supporters on campus. I am hopeful that Rob will be able to work something out for me.
Went to the library to see if I could pick up some books on lynching. Lucky me I was able to pick up some. I don’t have time to read them completely, but I should be able to skim them and find some cases to quote.
Also the network is back up, so I can go to the web site and look at the sources in regular text. The pages that I saved that were scanned are too blurry to read.
O. K. Time to fix some lunch. I’m thinking popcorn. 😛
P. S. Have a good time babein L. A. at the wedding. I’ll see you when you get back.

Well, Matt finally called me to let me know that I didn’t get approved; I kinda figured as much. So what to do now…I figure that if I start working 40 hour weeks, which is what I was going to do, I can make 2 rent payments and so I would be able to cover my rent for the summer and could start paying back the rent that I owe. That’s if they let me do that. I’m also thinking about getting a second job on the weekends. I don’t want to go back to Baskin Robbins or anything. But a little extra money would be nice, especially now. **sigh** My paper is going slowly cause the network is down and I’ve been waiting for Matt to call, so I couldn’t go on dial up. I think that I will take a shower and then go see Rob and get my paperwork back. Maybe later I will call one of the numbers that the Rent Board guy gave me to set up a meeting. And I still need to get my license agreement in too. Don’t know how I’m going to sneak that in. **sigh** I need to focus on finishing this paper and for the rest of my finals. Not dealing with this crap.
Current mood: depressed
Current music:

The horoscope tells me that I should relax today. **sigh** I will try to, but there is too much going on for me to really be relaxed…
My friend Mew (she’s Hawaiian) called me; her grandfather just passed away today in Ohio. She had just gotten back from seeing him and now she has to go back. I’m glad that she called; I haven’t seen her since St. Pats Day. I haven’t really seen anybody since March/April. I have so many people that I have lost touch with. Well, only a week and a half left of school, then I can start calling and visiting people.
I am already getting worried about today, so I think that I am going to eat and take a shower, then get back to the paper. I hope Matt doesn’t forget about the loan….
Current mood: worried
Current music:

Today is a good day for you to be mellow and laid back. Don’t put yourself under pressure to meet any deadlines whatsoever. You will find that the more easygoing you are, the more pleasure will come to you naturally without even lifting a finger. The square between Moon and Pluto calls for self-analysis, since you are probably much more insightful than usual. So go inward, and listen to your voice inside. Take an honest look at your fears, your anger and your desires. By the end of the day, you will feel strengthened and energized.

Work is progressing on the paper…going to sleep now.

Back from the rent board; got some good advice and they let me know what going to happen next and stuff. Going to Rob’s house tonight and talk to him about it. I want to see if Rob can work something out before I have to do the whole legal process. **sigh** I have to eat something first. I am cooking the rest of my pasta; I wish I had some bread to go with it. I guess I’ll cook some veggies’ with it. Poop…

Classes were O.K. Found out that my paper can be late for U.S. History. But I think that I’m going to turn it in on time, unless it looks like I can get the 10+ pages. The final paper isn’t due to 2pm on tuesday and that can be turned in late too.
Reformation class, she wants to talk to me about the paper. Eeeek! Not good. And I still have one more book that I haven’t read yet for the class. Poop.
I looked over the licence agreement that I signed and it doesn’t look good. **sigh** Off to catch BART to goto the Rent Board to talk to them. Then I will goto Rob’s/Amber’s house to talk to Rob about it. I applied for a credit card at Travis Credit Union (my bank), but I don’t know if it got approve or not. Matt (my roommate) works for Wells Fargo and he said that tomorrow he would do the loan paper work for me and that if I got approved then I could have a check cut but noon. I can only hope that something will happen for me. I started looking at ads around campus, but they all want female roommates. O.K. I need to pray to the ATM and then catch BART to Downtown.

Today was the last day of Aikido, and it actually went pretty well. I think the exercise of me being thrown around was good for me; I got a chance to get some new air in my lungs and expel the depressing and stressed out stuff that was inside. Anyway, I aced the written test and I think I did O. K. on my performance stuff. I’m sure that I will come out with at least a C if not a B. It mostly depends on how much my absents affect my grade.
Well with no class for Aikido, that frees up some valuable time for me this week and next. So on Thursday, I have all morning to either finish my paper for class at 12:30, or if I can get it finished on Wed. then I can study for my Beijing final that night. The Beijing final is open notes and book, but there is a lot of reading, so it would help if I read up on it first. And then next week, I have a little extra time before one of my history finals to study, and I will be able to work on those days too.
The paper is coming along. I changed it to lynching; it’s not what I wanted to do, but there are quotes and first person accounts that I can use. Not sure how many pages I can get out of it. If I can get 7-8, that would be good enough for me.
Rob called and left a message on my cell saying that he is staying at home to catch up on grading papers and stuff (in addition to being the bookstore GM, he is also a business teacher) so I think that I might go over his house today and talk to him and show him the documents and stuff that I have. I also need to go to the Rent Board today. It’s on Van Ness and Market; I will never find parking. Thinking about taking BART. I guess I could take it to the Civic Center and then walk a couple of blocks.
**sigh** First things first. I need to take a shower and get something to eat. The one Orange and Cream candy that I just had is not going to fulfill me. Was thinking about oatmeal, but I’ve had that for the last couple of days. The only thing left is Ramen; I guess I should have that since I will probably be eating a lot more in the days to come.
Current mood: calm
Current music:

Your sense of self may be challenged today, and you might have trouble keeping your seat during the joust. Keep in mind that the way others see you isn’t necessarily who you really are. Don’t feel like you have to change your direction to please anyone. Ultimately, your only responsibility is make yourself happy and to be true to yourself. Today’s square between Sun and Uranus could set off bizarre events, asking you to change your way of thinking. So stay flexible and adapt to whatever situation occurs.

changed paper, yet again to a paper on lynching. I’m not sure thatI will be able to do 10 pages, but I will do my best.
I am going to go to sleep now. This day has really worn me out and I have another busy day tomorrow.
