so with such a small room i've needed to get creative. I bought a dresser from Craigslist (go internet!) and made myself a closet =] i have these cubes that are great for anything and everything... so I made a closet/wardrobe thing out of them. I used a 1x3 system with a curtain pole for the pole for hangers and put it on top of my dresser.. and bam =]

and another expression of my creativeness and frugality? note the pringles can turned poster carrier, hence the extended cardboard head =]

went to Big 5 coz Morgan wanted to buy swimming goggles... 

while he did that... i went over to the knife section... and man oh man did they have a sale =]

i narrowed my favorites down to 2 kinds..

i ended up getting the bottom one coz i liked how it came with stuff in the handle (fishing line + hook, matches, compass)..

but now im feeling doubtful.. i feel like maybe i shouldve gotten the other one [in the picture above it wouldve been the one in the middle]...

what do you guys think? The top pictured knives used to be 70 bucks reduced to 14.99, the bottom one that i got was 29.99 to 9.99

I feel like the top one looks cooler, but the one i got would be more functional...... but the top one looks cooler......

help?

erg the stresses of life...

this is why you should always go for and fight for what you believe is right, what your gut says is right.

because if you take a chance on something that you think is the wrong choice, because of someone else's 'preference',

shit happens. and it happens to everyone involved. not just the one who made the decision.

im talking about housing options.

i knew in my gut that living with more people was the best decision to do.

but my roommate thought it would be better if it was just us since they 'were sick' of having so many roommates (6)

now, we put something on reservation yesterday....

their parents call tonight saying they dont like the place and the lease term (etc) 3 HOURS AFTER THE REFUND DEADLINE!

meaning? i just lost a hundred bucks coz the parents didn't think it through/decided on a whim that they didn't like it.

they knew everything from the start. we gave them the paperwork to look over and fax us their info for guarantors..

they were FINE with it then. that was yesterday!!! we told them the deadline, they said theyd fax it over yesterday..

apparently they had an epiphany or something but its leaving little old me in the dust.

I CANT AFFORD TO BE THROWING AWAY MONEY LIKE THIS. I already dont have the money to pay for rent next month. let alone all these signing expenses. the hundred dollars i earned from doing multiple and tedious experiments this month? gone in a flash. 

they say dont worry about the money. well i have to! they say that like theyre going to be paying my half too! yea right! ugh!

i hate it when people just back out. i like having things planned. when i ask for a confirmation, i expect it to be your final answer, you cant just back out! i hate this. i feel bad for feeling so bitter and angry with someone elses parents but thats the way it is.

this is bull. and i have tests this week to study for and all i can think of is being homeless in a month.

need to vent, need to destress.. gym is closed so watching action movies are my last option unless the roommates are down to do something else with a cranky frog in the house. ........ 

im thinking of what else to do. but regardless, money is an issue and i have even more to worry about apparently. yay...
