How do I get so lucky?
Things just keep falling into place.
As of sometime around May, I had no house, no summer school classes, and no job. I now have a kickass house, two classes, and a couple job leads.
The classes happened within the last couple days. They're online classes from Palomar (Jen's school) and the teachers just emailed me saying there were spots available in the classes I had emailed them about a while ago, but had filled up. So now I'm taking Psychology 100 and Economics 100 online, which should help to get some GE's out of the way.
The job I have been working on for the last week or so, but I finally got to talking to my mom's friend Sharon and she gave me the contact info for a guy who runs a computer support/repair business. She also emailed him what was basically a letter of recommendation and letting him know I'd be contacting him soon. He replied to her and sounded hopeful. Awesome.
I bought a gamecube today. I finally decided I really want one and I am going to get some kind of job somewhere, so I would be able to pay for it. I also had a $40 gift certificate for Best Buy, so I got a game (Luigi's Mansion) and a memory card basically for free. When I got home, I had an email from Cal Poly telling me that they wanted me to help with the summer advising program in July. I forgot I had applied for this, but it pays $45 for a few hours during the day and you get a free lunch. I am able to work for both days, so that's $90 right there. =) Awesome.
Best of all today, Jen and I bought a cookbook yesterday and today she (with some help from Matt) cooked something from it. It was a teriyaki beef dish that used top ramen for the noodles. It was super good and the best part was that we had an awesome dinner and I didn't have to make anything. I really like having her and my cool roommates here where we actually trade off on cooking and cleaning and everything works out evenly.
Well, I'm sure something's bound to go wrong sooner or later... although I did have a glitch today. When I brought the gamecube home and got it all set up the controller didn't work. A quick trip back to Best Buy for the exchange and all was well.
Current Music: Jen snoring. Just kidding.
