• JUST SO BUSY

  Okay....don't feel like commenting on that MSN link right now....I've been busy. I've been studying. Had an anatomy lecture exam this week...and I have a practical exam on Monday....in between the exams, I'm working, going to class, studying, finding some time to workout.  I feel like I just don't have enough time during the day cuz somewhere, I gotta sleep too.

  
  

  I have bills to pay...my tax guy miscalculated (and I paid him a lot of mulah...) but I'm not stressin' about that..I'll just wait for that lovely letter from state of CA and I'll send the check once I get the balance (cuz I already sent a check...I owe like $1 or something like that)....there's my hawaii trip to pay (but that was anticipated)....but now my car engine light just turned on (my poor car hasn't been the same since that hit and run) and I'm sure Toyota is going to charge me just for them to check it out...I have to clean my disastrous room, rent went up like $120 (yah, I should just find a place that I can own...but I don't want to be struggling to pay a mortgage), gas prices have actually reached $3+ (I can't believe this crap), our garbage disposal has been out of order since last month (and I asked my roommate to tell the landlord we need a new one), the bathtub is clogging, Cingular charged me something that I definitely didn't think I purchased via my phone and even so I gotta cancel that but they're closed right now (so I gotta call them when I'm at Cedars)..and all that phone calls in hawaii totaled an additional $100 on top of my regular cingulare wireless fees (ouch).....the old Karen would be freakin' out and definitely stressin' out....but I'm just "whatever" right now....it'll eventually be taken cared of (sooner or later). 

  
  

  You know what I don't get....how the cost of living in CA is so damn high...and it's not like wages are increasing that much ya know.  I know NY and I'm sure Frisco is much higher, but the cheapest 1 bedroom condo in LA is $350,000 and it's ridiculous..not only is it less than 700sq ft but association dues are $300/month and doesn't include anything?? Something is fishy here....I dilapidated house (partially burnt down) is selling for over $430,000!! WTF!!! Have we all gone mad and lost our sense?  My problem?? I can't buy any property yet....b/c of school...eventually I'm going to have to quit my day job (which pays a lot) and really cut back....but at the same time, I'm tired of sharing an apartment (I dunno)....frustrated. I want so many things...and no matter how much I seem to work my ass off...it just seems like I have nothing to show for. Yes, I get to travel (and that's probably the only good thing out of all this)...but I just one day I can just have one job where I don't have to do overtime so much and be able to afford to pay for a house, a car, cable, all house related bills, insurance, and have spending money to travel and hang with friends.  It seems like all the friends I know work crazy hours. A lot of my friends have 2 jobs (seriously, those census people should be taking note of that too) or work a lot of overtime or work 6 days of the week instead of 5....and majority of us are still renters.  It's a damn shame....
