I'm behind Zul on posts lol, but she has more going on than I do. Well that's not true, I guess I just have a little more frustrating things going on.

My father is in the military and with the new G.I. Bill thing they just made would allow him to transfer his education benefits to his dependents. When he went to fill out the form to give authorization for them to be transferred, so I could apply for it, my name was not listed as one of his dependents! It doesn't make a lot of sense. It says that his children dependents (as opposed to his spouse dependent) can use the benefits until they reach the age of 26. I just turned 21. He was supposed to talk with someone today to figure the whole thing out. He will be home in a couple of hours, so we'll see what happens. If I can't get the benefits I will have to finally break down and get a loan. I have tried everything to avoid it. I really don't like the idea of spending what I don't have and then I'll have it hanging over me while I'm trying to get an education. I know a lot of people do it, but I just have this thing about it.

Anyways, on a good note and completely non-new york related I have a front row seat to see the Cranberries concert in November. I am pretty excited about it. I kinda need it too. I never do anything and with all the stress from trying to get into college and get money for it, but getting doors closed in my face that I have to try to pry open... I really do need it.

On the job front, I haven't heard anything from Swiss Colony yet. I don't know if I should call though. You usually call after the application and then set up an interview, but I was asked to stay for the interview. The job doesn't start till possibly the end of October beginning of November. They weren't real specific. I should hear from them soon and hopefully I get the job. I should they need a lot of people and I did well on the dexterity test I had to do. I did above the benchmark. I don't know though. My old Irish luck is failing me right now. Something just better start working out soon, before I get too disheartened.
