well, it is official! I am going to apply to UCI within the new few months! Fun stuff! I finally have three teachers who are going to give me letters of rec.. now I just have to start the application and pray that I get in! I so desperately want to get in.. man it is the only school I have watned to go to for Grad school for the longest time.. I hope they see something in my writing that makes them want me to be there.. I hope they see how much I love to write and how much I want to be a writer.. I am just having issues now putting all this on paper.. I think it is because I am so nervous about it, and now i have a deadline.. eek! but at least I am finally going for it!
bah and Michael is moving out early.. next week is his last week actually, which is crazy.. Andrew freaked out at first since he is moving out early, but I told Andrew this was what we were hoping for so you always have to be careful what you wish for!
I am happy and sad at the same time.. I am going to miss spending so much time with Michael.. when he doesn't live at home or with someone in the family, he never actually hangs out with the family, so we shall see.. maybe this time will be different since apparently he has grown up.. too bad he is moving in with thumper.. I have bad feelings about this, but who knows.. it just might work out for him.. I hope it does. He really needs to be out on his own and to do things on his own and he has grown up a little bit since the year he has been with Andrew and I, so I jut hope that it is enough to keep him going through all this! so we shall see what happens
Andrew and I are going to have the place to ourselves for a month! which is cool, but also means that we have to pay the rent by ourselves for October.. but I am hoping that we will be able to pay it and still have money leftover, so when the time comes for the lease to be up, we will decide to stay there. I really want to stay.. I know it would be so much better for us if we had a two bedroom apt.. we just have so much stuff, it would make more sense.. Plus Andrew is getting a raise, so with that it might help us.. and hopefully I can go on permantly here and then I will get a raise too.. so we shall see! I just know after we have this two bedroom, even if it is only for a month and a half, it will be hard for us to go back to a one bedroom.. so much space! it would be awesome if we could keep it.. we would just have to live frugily for a while.. I don't think I spelled that right.. ha oh well..
but anyways! we will see.. we are supposed to be getting a letter soon about our renewing options, so maybe they will lower the rent a little or something if we renew for another year.. I may just refinance my car.. I know it is going to suck paying for another 5 years, but my payments would probably be cut in half! I might have to anyways, because I am pretty sure my loan matures next year, but I don't think I will have it paid off by next year, which would make the interest go up like crazy.. so I may just have to refinance to avoid that, and then any extra money I have, I will just put as a principle payment on the car!
so we will see.. I just really want to stay there and not have to move again.. i hate moving! and just all that space with just the two of us.. awesome!
so anywys.. again we shall see what happens!
but I am going to go now.. see if the UCI app is up yet, or if they are selling comic con tickets so I can do both! =)
laters!
