Random Cougar Life

The chemistry department had a mixer Friday and we went, it was pretty fun. They had a fish fry so we got to have some pretty good fried fish and hush puppies. And various snacks and such. We took home some french fries and some dip, its pretty good stuff. Saturday we had a sushi party, we hosted it so it was cheap for us! We just provided the sushi rice and cucumbers, and I made some miso soup. I found a site where I could get supplies for miso hella cheap. Asianfoodgrocer . com if you are interested. We had some imitation crab meat and Dave used it to make a spicy crab meat saucy thing. Japanese mayo, chili paste and the meat blended up. It was really good! We watched 300 with the riff tracks and after we played trivial pursuit, genius edition. It was pretty funny, since all of us are awful at sports. But my team got the shittiest question!! “Who killed Cleopatra” the answer was freaking “Cleopatra”!!! That is such B.S.!!! I was mad arg >:( Anyways, we got to hang out with Kim and Byron, whom we never get to see so it was pretty awesome. They brought some pretty sweet beers too, left over from their beer tasting party. Friday I worked at a place in the mall, its called Museum Earth. It sells all sorts of random stuff, new age stuff and jewelry and fossils and all sorts of stuff. Its a part time job for minimum wage, but at least its income! I’m interviewing *again* at Applebee’s tomorrow at 2, but I *think* this is to set down my schedule. Supposedly I should be hearing back from the place where Diana works this week too, but that has been all month. They are a startup net business and aren’t very organized though. Dave thought he had a full scholarship, but it is only partial, and he didn’t apply for financial aid this semester, since he thought he didn’t need it. The scholarship pays for all the fees and stuff, which cuts his tuition in half about, but he still had to make a payment or be dropped. Well he has to pay about $1600 for the semester, but because of some bureaucratic bullshit he had to pay a third of the WHOLE THING, $1300! AND THEN because he didn’t file the form for a PAYMENT PLAN he had to pay $300 MORE!! We have like, no money now, it super pissed both of us off. We are lucky, because Dave’s dad is going to pay our rent and bills so we don’t get evicted, and my parents lent us some money for groceries. But Dave doesn’t get payed until *September* and I just now got a job. It is such anger making!! I also don’t know if Dave is even eligible for financial aid, since his dad is still claiming him as a dependant on tax forms. I suppose since his dad is aiding us we don’t actually need it, but I think he’d rather not rely on his dad. I certainly would prefer if we both could be financially independent. But I suppose that is how it goes.

Kthnxbai!
