my life in june

10:15 PM

so as the month may have started off as potentially one of the worst for me this year, it actually began to end unexpectedly well.


♡ -- the bad:


this month i renewed my lease after i frantically tried to look for a new place with only 2 weeks to do so. i have been so busy since march, that it totally slipped my mind that i was suppose to start searching for a new place in april. my rent was $559 a month & when i was given my 60 day notice to renew or leave, they told me my rent would go up to $640. of course being the savvy saver i am, i knew i could get a townhome or foreclosed house for less than $640 a month. but there wasn't enough time for me to dissect prices & all that good stuff, so i renewed my lease. with the 2% student discount it went down to $627, then surprisingly the lead leasing consultant went the extra mile & asked headquarters to lower my rent to $600 a month. she said she really liked me & wanted me to stay. i don't know how much of that is true, but when i originally moved in she lower my rent that time as well :)

as i mentioned in a previous post, sadity (my car) not only had a flat tire, but the battery went dead the very next day. causing me to miss a sunday of errands & work that following monday. fortunately, i had kia tow my car from my house to their shop as they fixed all of the zillion issues that was going on. once again, being so busy i forgot about my 60,000 mile maintenance & my oil change that was due 1000 miles ago. it cost me $522 for them to do all the maintenance needed & although sadity is a necessity, it still hurt me to give that money away.


i also had summer courses, which ended this past saturday! i took 3 classes in a quarter, which is a first for me. it wasn't that bad, especially since all of my teachers gave me very little assignments. so far i have a high A+ in each class, but there are still papers that need to be graded, so let's pray those A's stay like they are. with school out of the way finally, i can focus on other obligations, such as relaxing by the pool, reading every book in my library, vacation & oh yeah....work. i also have a meeting at a potential graduate school at the end of july, lets see if this is the school for me.

lastly, my grandfather got into a 4 car accident. a drunk driver ran a red light & hit my grandfather. the accident totaled his truck & he was driven to the hospital from the scene. my grandma didn't call me once it happened, but the day after. he said that he was fine with only minor pain & that he's still able to walk & work some. i am glad he's okay. things could have gotten a lot worst.

♡ -- the good:


well aside from all of the above, there was some good that came of this month. i'm done with school, being the first thing. i was invited to more festivities than i expected, a few birthdays here & there. my friend minh turned 24 & he celebrated with dinner at applebee's & bar hopping throughout buckhead. my old friend mercedes turned the big 2-1 & celebrated with dinner at bluefin (which by the way is delicious)! that restaurant really inspired me to start a food blog which i'm currently brewing up a name for. she also invited ishonna & we were able to catch up a tad bit since we haven't hung out since spring break (sheesh).
i also spent time with some new friends. we had movie night, hosted by hieu & tram watching alien and aliens. then we went out the following weekend to try some of hieu's seafood at his restaurant, then the movie prometheus. it was nice to take a little break & mingle with a few people.

then lastly i was able to spend time with friends & family. i have been spending a lot of time lately with my best friend kyra. it's always nice to have a little dysfunction in your life & she definitely can bring dysfunction, but that's what makes me love her as my best friend. i just hope july comes with less headaches & less money being spent. i hope i can truly relax & take life by the horns. i want so much more than what i currently have, but i must learn patience.
