Reprieve

I would love it if life quit shitting on me for like, 10 minutes. That's all I want. 10 minutes. I haven't eaten breakfast yet and this is my day so far.

Get woken up by mom calling. Ignore call. Listen to message "CALL ME NOW". Panic thinking someone died. Call mom back. It was about my car. I need a new battery, battery cables, a new ball joint because one of my tires was going to fall off the car, and two tires because the mechanic won't let me drive it off the lot unless they're fixed. Oh, and my alternator fell apart, he has to put that together to see if it even works. So who knows how much extra THAT'S going to be, but right now I have $450 in repairs. The mechanic said that since I paid only $200 for the car to begin with, it isn't even worth the repairs. My mom offers to give me back the money I paid for the car, but then I have no car. The only reason I got it for so cheap is because I know the people that sold it to me. So I text The Boy to see if I can borrow some money to cover $300 of the repairs (my mom said she'd cover $150). He says yes, so I call my mom and tell her ok. Then he texts me back so say he'll only give me the money if I get my license. My test isn't until tomorrow and the mechanic needed an answer in the range of right now. And I had already given the ok. The Boy just says "well you'd better get your license then". (Aside: seriously?!)

So essentially, I'm boned.

And I haven't even been awake for an hour. Not even a half hour.

Then I get a facebook message from someone at Central College. Turns out they sent me a 1098T form, for my tuition, and it got returned. So my mom's taxes are now inaccurate. Fucking kill me. I don't want anything to do with that place. I was missing it for a while lately, but now, I remember how horrible an experience it was. Nobody knows what the shit is going on there. Oh yeah, and I still owe them a grand for the two weeks I was there (Originally 800 but you know, late fees). My tuition for an entire semester at MATC was just over a grand. Effing rediculous.

So I'd be really glad if absolutely nothing happened for long enough to eat my Rice Crispies in peace.
