So it finally happened... my car broke. Well, it broke to the point where it's essential I fix it before I drive it more, anyway. Terrible timing, really. I was supposed to trade cars with mom to make a trip to Pittsburgh, and it happened the day before. Needless to say, it was an angry night. I mean, I knew I was going to have to put some money into it. You cant buy a $1200 car without something breaking. It just doesn't happen. lol.

I was freaking out because I didn't really have any money for repairs, but something amazing happened. I looked at my bank account and became alarmed because the army paid me an unexpected $570. They have a habit of overpaying me it seems... A quick look at my mypay showed that it was actually money I was supposed to be paid. Just in time!!!

My mechanic buddy came over yesterday and took a look at it, and it's the power steering pump. I think there may be other problems as well, but this is where we're going to start.

I go buy the plates today. lol. My temp tags expire tomorrow.

I had a very inexpensive weekend. BF and I haven't really gone out. He's busy with projects and finals and I'm getting over this cold, and feeling rather refreshed that we spent a couple weeks out of the bars.

The roomies and I had a boardgame night saturday which was very successful, and yesterday was certainly a lazy sunday. I read and drank tea most of the day. School starts next month, and I will have zero time for pleasure reading. I'm trying to get in all I can for the time being.

So yes, just need to fix the car and figure out how I'm going to swing tutoring this week. I'm sure I'll be able to work some magic. Drill this weekend. Woot. It's going to be a long week...

Hope everyone has a good one! Later.
