NaNo days 21-23 (11k day!)

I was about 1000 words under my goal on Monday, and by the time I got home from school on Tuesday (about 5) I was so beat I couldn't even think about my novel.  Several hours of art homework later (of the "it's due tomorrow" variety), and I went to bed early, deciding that maybe I should get more than 5 hours of sleep at least one night this week.  So nothing for the 22nd.

However, I have the rest of today to myself, so I'm aiming for 1k an hour until midnight.  With my average typing speed, that's about 20 minutes out of every hour, which I'm sure I can easily find--so long as I don't procrastinate too much or get dreadfully stuck. If all goes well, that will give me (at least) a 10k day, putting me back on track for 100k.

Then I just hope to keep my daily 4202 goal through the two Thanksgiving dinners I have this weekend (one for each side of the family).

I. Hate. Money. Actually, I hate not having any. And how ridiculously expensive tuition is.

So I can't go to Westminster this semester. They want $12,000 for 13 credit hours. And I know half the reason the cost is so much is my own fault for getting my stupid ass on academic probation, but that's still just ridiculous. They basically offer NO financial aid for those who are struggling with their grades. Thanks a lot, school that screwed up my schedule and made me depressed and not wanting to go to class in the first place. I love you too.

So I'm not happy right now. I've been planning this whole time to move out in two weeks (because they basically didn't inform me about this until about a week ago, when I had to call in to ask for my account statement), and just now to find out I can't afford it and I'm going to have to stay at home. Which I don't really mind. . . but I wanted to go to the dorms for another year, to hang out with Katelyn-tachi and the rest of everyone I know up there. And now I can't take those cool anthropology classes either.

So I'm basically stuck at SLCC now. It's not too horrible, but it's still not Westminster. Jeez, I'm such an elitist now. :P At least I can get a job and a car now, and maybe help clean the house up. Sigh.
