I need to get away, have had a stressful last couple of weeks Options

[Valo666]

The last few weeks for me have been pretty stressful. Ive been at school for 45+ hours a week, taking tests, working on labs, studying for exams, etc. Plus i am also in a co-op/apprenticeship program at my school, and we are about to go into our apprenticeship placements for a year, so we have to look for jobs for that. Heres the problem, the automotive industry in the city where im going to school isnt doing all that well, aka no one is hiring. Also, we cant even get out to hand out resume's to shops or people because all the shops close at 5 and we usually get out of class at 4:45 or 5 every day, and nothing is open on saturdays or sundays. So im kinda stressed out about that.

Things keep breaking/going bad on my car. I found out last week when i was driving to ohio that my rear tires on my car are nearly gone, and they are just over a year old *probably due to my crappy alignment*, my drivers side cv shaft is toast, im still gettin alot of valve noise on my engine, i need to change my ball joints, tie rod ends and sway bar mounts. So things just keep pyling up and i have no place to do this work for my self these days and like i said b4, all the shops are open untill 5, and im in school untill 5, so there goes the idea of bringing it to a shop.

My roomate *whos not even living in my house yet*, is giving me a headache because he decides hes gonna show up to my place when ever he feels like it, drinks my booze, eats my food, leaves the place a giant mess, and then has the never to call me up the day after hes left and trys to b*tch me out about it saying that i leave the place a mess all the time. like the guy will come down to the place for a weekend with his buddy, drink all weekend, make ceasers, then leave the glasses in stupid spot where you wouldnt find them. He doesnt do any dishes, but loves to leave plenty of them for me to do. Hes not paying his part of the electrical or cabel bill like we discussed we would. So pretty much i had to pay a $178 cabel/phone/internet bill plus another $60 electrical bill by my self, and he says he doesnt use the cabel or internet or any electrcity, even though hes there every other weekend. Oh, and this is the best part. Hes working doing a summer co-op program for his schooling. Hes working 48hours a week, making $25/h. Hes got enough $ coming in. He said he was gonna buy a tv for the living room and that he was gonna help pay for a bunch of the stuff we need for the house and stuff. Then 2 weeks ago he calls me to tell me that he's not gonna b buyin as much stuff as he said he was because he had to pay $225 to enroll into his co-op program to get it qualifed for his school program, and that his sister backed into his BMW and damaged his bumper, lip, hood and grill and that hes gonna need to replace them all and he has to pay for it. I dont know why his sister isnt paying for it, or how he managed to do enoguh damage that he needs to replace his entire front bumper, lip and hood, but his headlights are prefectly fine. So now he says hes not buying a tv or any thing else that we need, and then has the nerve to ask me if he can have one of the 2 tvs i brought from my house in his room...so either, i dont have a tv in my room, or we dont have a tv in the living room because he wants a tv in his room. So even though he can afford a nicer tv that what i have in 4 hours of work, he still wants to be a dick and take one of mine.

And to top this all off, my grandfather has been dealing with cancer for the last 10 years. Over the last 6 months hes been gettin bad. He was in the hospital for a month and a half back in Nov, got out, was doing good up untill about a month ago, then he went to go walk, colpased and got sent to the hospital again. He was there up untill about a week ago, came home was doing fine, but then on Friday night, he went to bed, woke up at about 3 in the mornin coughin up blood. So he got rushed to the hospital, my parents went with him, they stabilized him, he was sleeping, then his heart rate started to drop, and he passed away.

RIP Norman Stuckey, 83.


Im ok with his passing, ive been expecting the worst since back in Nov. Me being 4 hours away, i kinda braced my self for this happening.

So, i think that with all of this its time for me 2 get away. My school program wants me to start my co-op right away and get in the year asap, but the stupid thing is, we only need 16 weeks worth of work to get the credits for our program, 16 weeks acumuatively..not all in 1 shot. My school esstenily wanted me to go from sept, all the way through the summer, then go work...so sept, to august...of next year....straight...with only 2 breaks..so im thinkin they can eat me and im gonna go take a vacation.

Next weeks we are meeting with the lawyer regarding the will and such, so im thinking im gonna take some of the enheritance $ and just get away for a week or 2.


Sorry, i just needed to vent.

lmao..i love how u said that. i was just driving home from dropping my gf off at work, and passed by my buddies house. He said he saw my grandfathers obituary in the paper today and told me to cheer up. Then he threw me the keys to his Skyline...needless to say a few burnouts put a good sized smile on my face. But thanks man.
