Summertime is supposed to be a time of relaxation, renewal, rejuvenation.
Yeah...right.
I swear, I'm working myself crazy, because when I have a day off I'm so bored. All that I'm really concerned about is saving money for when I go back to college. So I save, work, babysit, save, maybe spend some, then save more.
And while this is mundane, at least everything is going like I planned. My boyfriend's summer is not going so well.
Ok, so besides the fact that he needs a new phone, his car transmission decides to conk out. Which means that he has to either pay to get his car fixed (expensive) or get a new car (expensive) or be carless (lame and not fun).
He has been working for a month straight. I'm serious. Not one day off in a month. I couldn't deal. At least I get Sundays off.
Then there's the possibility that even though he has been working for so long he might not get his bonus check at the end of the summer. His $500 bonus check. His 2-months-worth-of-rent bonus check. Besides the fact that he doesn't even know if he's going to have work the entire summer.
Plus, me, his girlfriend, lives in a different city, and I can't see him because my car sucks. If I had a better car I would be able to go visit him, but not at the moment. My car would die. So he has to deal with all these things on his own. Which isn't horrible, but when you're used to having someone around, it sucks.
I dunno, then there's always the fact that being apart makes things suck even more.
Don't want to get all sentimental on you guys, but there it is.
Well, besides the car, the rent, books, college, work, and having no social life...this summer is going alright.
When it rains, it pours.
