well, i'm here on a friday night, everyone's out watching forbidden kingdom...a movie that I wanted to watch.


But with me in debt due to a new project car in hand, sacrifices must be made.

I bought a 1988 Rx7 non-turbo (only because the engine isn't as worn as one that's been used with turbo [my logical conclusion])

So far my list goes as:

register the car: $15 - 36.00

Thermostat: $15 - 30.00

Seat Belt: ???.??

Back Rotors + Brake Pads: $300

Aftermarket Suspension: undecided because i dont know what i want

On the brighter side, Lucy decided to end the break early, and make it more official and get back together on the 20th of this April (how sweet of here to do it on the day that we got together). Though it feels like we always do this...I hope she doesn't do it next year and the year after that and so on.

With my hopes up, and head held above the water, I've decided to swim into deeper blue. I am planning to go back to school + continue working at Jiffy Lube, and manage 2 cars.

Here are my calculations:

there are 24 hours in a day, and 168 hours in a week

School:

4 classes:
2 days: 1 class (2 hours each, total: 4 hours)
2 days: 2 classes (4 hours each, total: 8 hours)

Homework for 4 classes each week recommends at least 10 hours of work in order to get a PASSING grade (C and above): 40 hours

I have 116 hours left in the week.



Work:

If i could pull in 30 hours IT WOULD BE IDEAL!: 86 hours left in the week.

But 20 hours would be good too.: 96 hours left in the week.



Health:

8 hours of sleep a day = 56

Cleaning self: 1 hour a day = 7 hours a week

30 hours of work week: 23 hours left in the week

20 hours of work week: 33 hours left in the week



Transportation:

2 hours a day = 14 hours a week

30 hours of work week: 9 hours left in the week

20 hours of work week: 19 hours left in the week


Depending on my situation, I will only have either 9 hours or 19 hours of time to keep my social life up with my girlfriend and my close buddies. AND this isn't including craig's list missions.

Now assuming i have 30 hours of work per week, that's $9.50/hr = $285/week = $570 bi-weekly - $100 taxes = $470.00 ROUGHLY

Now assuming i have 20 hours of work per week, that's $9.50/hr = $190/week = $380 bi-weekly - $100 taxes = $280.00 ROUGHLY

This is only a rough outline of what is going to come. I hope I am ready, and I only pray that Lucy won't fail me now...

all I need is for her to be on my side, and not frustrate me with this "I don't know bullshit" all the time, and keep on hanging out with the people that I don't really like (i hope she understands that when she hangs out with boys that I dont know or not like, it's the same equivalent as me hanging out with some girl she don't know or might not like). I just need her here to support me and know that at the end of the day that I am her boyfriend and she is my girlfriend. AND THEN, HOPEFULLY: we can get over with this quickly, and live the American Dream.

This is my map to the treasure, and I will black beard this biatch.
