Ahh, just got my bill from UH, i owe $1494.82 on top of my $1,750 student loan. I can pay in increments though, 1st has to be $747.42 which i don't have and is due aug 28th, so i have to use my credit card, hate those things...makes you think you have money when you really don't, then there after i have two more payments of $388.77. Havent been working since ~~Aug~~ June 19th so im really tight on funds, gladly my job is starting up again this friday. It's a great job and all, but i need more money $15/hour is pretty damn good, and working 20 hours a week while in school isn't too much either...not to mention very flexable..i just need to stop spending my money on shit...like going out to eat.. which is about where 90% of my money goes to...

Havent really been doing much either just summer school, which my teacher is a complete moron....spends half of the 3 hour session trying to graph equations on his calculator, which he does not need to do since its already in the book..and if he cant get it right he sits there and tweakes the equation until he is satisfied..prime example is when he was doing polor cordanates he wanted perfect circles and he was getting ellipses on his calculator so he sat there for 10 min trying to get circles....

oh well, whats life without a little challenge.

Oh yeah, im turning 22 on the 17th...what to do..

Back from the trip to St. Louis. it was pretty fun, did a whole lot of stuff and met up with people I haven’t seen in years!

To sum it all up- we went to the Botanical Gardens, the STL Zoo, the STL Fair, Rock Climbing, Union Station, and other things while we were there.

This is us(Vince, Laura, Me, Kristina(my little sis)) all set to rock climb, it was a bad idea to wear glasses, i always nudged them half off while i was up on the wall and had to use all my arm strength to use one arm to hold myself up and the other to put back on my glasses.

The wall.

The following are me Laura and Kristina at the Botanical Gardens:

And the best part of the trip to STL was the Fair.

We saw the black eye peas for free, and were about 75 feet away from the stage, and the fireworks were nice, haven’t seen a professional display in quite a while.

All in all the trip was fun, was busy everyday so the time there flew by, it was crazy to see how people changed over the past three years yet were the same also.

However, the way back was going well, making good time until i got a flat tire, had to ride on a spare donut to the closes Discount tire since i had a warrentey there, going 50 mph on a 70mph was not too fun, not to ment dangerious, and i found out later costly, the big difference in the size of the tires and the amount of driving we did on it broke my axle(get into that later), also the tire wasnt covered under warrentee because it was an alignment issue, so i forked over 190$ to replace 2 tires, the one that blew and a different one that had a impact bubble. Went to Brake Check to fix the alignment issue and came to find out that my axle broke, and i had to replace a bearing because a wheel was loose, also my brakes were getting worn. that cost me 710$...total of 900$ in the past 2 days to get my car back into shape, digging myself deeper into a hole, not to mention there is no word yet on my financial aid, and my job for canon doesnt start back up until august. bah!

But after everything i feel that Laura and I have gotten much closer, miss her already. It was a fun trip and i'm grateful that i shared it with her.

Edit: Damn i forgot the coolest picture of them all the Penguins!

STL zoo is much more organized and had a lot more animals that the Houston zoo, surprisingly.
