PERFECTION ISN'T EVERYTHING!

no new job! ;/
so.
i did not get the job.
i got disqualified on a technicality.
forsyth county does not allow its employees to have drug use in the past 5 years.
i, being the typical curious college student, smoked weed occasionally while staying at clayton place.
this was back in like 05-06.
i wasn't a true weed smoker.
i tried it all. shotguns. reggie. mid. purp. gas mask. no kush tho.
just did it every once in a while for whatever reason.
wanted to know what it felt like to be "high."
every time i smoked it didn't to shit but make me sleepy and fuck with my throat.
supposedly, i didn't inhale right but whatever.

ANYWAYS!
back to the point.
that was some bullshit.
wasted time, money, and gas.
it took me over an hour to get there.
i had to buy a Motor Vehicle Report.
i also took off from work today.
the trip took a quarter of a tank of gas!
i don't understand why they scheduled a typing test and interview for me in the first place.
i wrote of the weed use on the initial application.
i think i'm going to give up on job hunting for the time being.
i need to remain focused on school.
i've got the rest of this semester to focus on, summer and fall semester & I will be finished!
i'm taking 4 classes this summer.
1 Maymester class, that will be every day for a month for 3 hours.
One 5 day workshop class in the beginning of June that will be 8 hours a day!
Sounds tortuous but everyone is saying how great this class is!
and an easy A.
Then 1 mini mester class for 6 weeks in mid June & July.
And one regular semester class from June to August.
SO THIS WILL BE A HECTIC SCHEDULE!
as for fall semester,
I am taking 12 hours.
But only 3 classes.
2 regular classes.
My intership class.
& actually working at some Criminal Justice Facility doing my intership.
We are to work at least 15 hours a week.
This schedule too will have me running around like a crazy person.
Working a highly stressful job from 7pm to 7am would have not been healthy.

In better news,
I am so excited about moving!
my father did agree pay my rent as long as i find a roommate and a place.
i've found my roommate.
& we have begun looking for places.
i am beyond ready to get out this depressing house.
my mother's husband is a piece of shit,
who lazy and cheap.
the house he bought is ugly as fuck.
unkept.
old ass appliances.
every time i turn the fuck around some applicane is broke.
first it was our stove.
then the refrigator.
now there is something wrong with the washer.
it wouldnt be so bad if it were fixed or replaced quickly.
but months usually go by before something is done.
ONE MORE FUCKING MONTH AND I WILL BE OUT THIS BITCH!
i cannot wait.
i'm wishing it would be sooner.
but my roommate is currently living on campus and has to wait til her lease is up on that.
also, i honestly have too much to do before moving.
i have no furniture.
when i stayed at clayton place, the apartments were furnished.
at least find a bedset.
decide whether i'm going to keep julio, my yorkie.
(don't judge me for naming my dog julio, LOL!)
if so, get him trained better. vaccinations. and groommed.
i really do want to keep him if i can get the patenice to train him better,
with the help of a dog trainer.

we are trying to move downtown to be close to school & practically everything in Atlanta.
it is so hard tho.
trying to find somewhere that will be safe with proper security.
and everything else we're looking for.
spacious. pool. gym. washer & dryers and dishwashers in the apts. young people. a mixed race community. newer builds or recently remodeled.
and worth the expensive ass rent.
we found some bomb ass apartments last weekend but!
apparently fulton county or georgia or idk
the government has destroy many of the "projects"
and allowed the old residents to move into apartments at a lower rent.
it felt very unsafe from the time we got there.
not well lit. dirty hallways. and even the leasing agent admitted to car theft being a big problem.
you can take motherfuckas out the hood.
but the hood tendancies will probably always be there.
.... i dont know maybe not.
over time generations will mimic some of the better neighbors.
& understand what it is to do well in school & get a job.

back to my apartment searching,
we are going on saturday.
hopefully we'll have better luck.
