Hunger, $12 drinks, chai tea energy...

I go to Trader Joes, I spend (rather, I charge and the bill goes somewhere) tons of money, and then I eat my food rather quickly, and then it's gone. It's like a really expensive dinner, except, I have to make it on my own. Sure, in reality it gets me nearly 4 nights, maybe 5 nights of food a week, which is a decent week, but, going grocery shopping each week is getting a little ridiculous. Maybe I am just really, really hungry. Maybe I am not eating the right things. Maybe I run too much. Maybe I just am not mature enough to live on my own and cook for myself...but, I am in college, right? At least for another month or so.

I don't really have much to report on this weekend, it was rather uneventful. The weather was bad (rainy and cold most of the time), and more time ran off the future clock (the clock counting down til I have to make a decision, or have a decision made for me via my lack of action). I know, I know, broken record here, but it has to be said. I think in some way, talking about it, or at least thinking about it while (or all the time) I could be being more productive, I may come up with a brilliant idea. I'm backing on that not happening, because well, after 4 years of college, and still no idea of what to do, it's all just a big joke now (but when does it get funny?!?!) Everyone says, "look for a job." Easy, right? Well, if you have NO IDEA what to look for, is it really that easy? Or, my favorite, talk to people about what they do, and see if you are interested. Use your connections says Michigan State, family, and friends. What connections do I have?! I picked up a business card from the local subway, does that count?

Moving on, for now. DC never fails to impress me. Just when I think I have purchased the most expensive drink, a new one comes along and makes me sad. This time, it was a pre-St. Patricks day celebration at some local bar that wasn't worth the $$. I won't get into the details, but, the cost was $12. What a deal, right?!

I have not been sleeping well, or restfully, and this leads me spend more and more money. I go to Starbucks regularly, spend the little remaining cash from my summers lifeguarding, on chai lattes. The thing about chai lattes is that they have chai tea (lots of energy) and latte (whatever that is, but probably more energy). I stay awake (albeit artificially), and repeat until my eyes are red, I have bags under my eyes. A prequel of law school?

Ok, it's 12:30, and I have to be up by 6 am. Just another night in DC.
