It Can't Get Any Worse
So, as I'm driving out to a school this morning, my temperature gauge starts heading toward the H red zone. I immediately turned around and headed to my mechanic's shop. It also happened on Saturday night. I was hoping it was just a leak in the radiator hose. Of course, when they checked it out, it turned out I needed a new head gasket. $700. Ouch! And the final bill will be more with labor. Did I mention that I won't be getting a paycheck in June? Don't I have some long-lost relative out there somewhere who I should be inheriting money from? I hate it when stuff like this happens.

All Day Sucker
Student Loans Are for Suckers Interesting article via Kuro5hin...I was in debt $30,000 from graduate school, which I finished in 1994. I think I'll have it all paid off sometime in 2004. Luckily I got a job right out of school and starting paying off my loans immediately. My payments range from $250-$320 a month. That's a huge chunk of change. Especially when I think of the impending school district furlough and not receiving a paycheck for the entire month of June. I will feel a grand sense of accomplishment when this repayment is over.
