Matt Needs a Car.

This weekend has been spent - so far - exclusively on studying for my Business Law exam coming up on Monday. Yesterday I was thinking to myself that I really need to get my crap together and get my work done by Saturday so that I don't have to use Sunday to do it.

And - just in time for the semester to really beginning to pick up - I have now contracted a sore throat and a headache that will not go away. Worse, the bottle of Ibuprofen I bought a few weeks back is now contradband because they've recalled the drug that is the active ingredient in that stuff. So all I have at my disposal are NyQuil and a recalled drug that will destroy my liver. Great.

My grades are slowly but surely improving. With a last-ditch effort, I may be able to hurl myself across the finish line this semester with more As than I expected, although there are bound to be some A-minuses scattered in there all over the place. I blame the adjustment back to American univeristy life. And the fact that my classes this semester HAVE BEEN A JOKE.

The apartment has no food save some Rice-a-Roni, which means I'm basically on a forced fasting schedule. This is ridiculous. I. Need. A. Frickin. Car. I HATE living in a place with no grocery stores within walking distance. HATE IT. Don't get me wrong; I love my apartment and its location. For HEAVENS SAKE, why hasn't a grocery store had the brains to open up a branch right next to campus?? I've half a mind to just buy a car over winter break for the sake of my own sanity. Debt be damned. Not being able to get around is one thing. Slowly starving to death is another. I'm going to need SOMETHING come May anyway, when it's time to move out of the apartment and head north for the summer.

I take solace in the knowledge that ASU sent the Cougs packing yesterday. Not in our house, kitties.
