I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while. I know your days are not the same without getting a piece of me, so, here I am. I hate saying that I'm stressed, but I am. Just a little bit. I'm still looking for an apartment to move out, but I don't think any one would rent me anything. That makes me sad, but it's okay. I wish I had good life skills. I have terrible life skills. Forms and applications confuse me and all. I just don't know what to do, ever. I am, however, very lucky when it comes to certain things.
I found this really cool place, and it is awesome! I would have capitalized the 'awesome', or even better, italicized! but I didn't feel like it. I'm just afraid that something is going to go wrong, and I'll be stuck in the damn building that I'm in for another three months.
Anyway, I get really anxious. I'm always afraid that I'm going to lose my job. I'm always afraid that something is going to go wrong, and I'll be homeless. I'm afraid that I'll get some sort of disease and die. I am afraid that the doorknobs will burst and a piece would get in my eye. And surprisingly, I'm not afraid of doing bad in school or anything. I'm not doing bad though! I shouldn't be..
I really hope I get that apartment I'm looking at. It's so awesome!
Okay, I'll see y'all later. Bye!

Home
So I'm home for the first time in about a month and a half. It is the weirdest thing ever. I took a Greyhound here, and my butt was soo sore! (that's what she said) I guess it was worth it though. I could not help but smile when I saw the "Iowa City" sign on the freeway and what not. My parents picked me up at the station. Mom cried a little bit, but she held it together pretty well. I was impressed. Now I'm home. In my living room. It is the weirdest thing ever. So many mixed emotions. It's like a mixture of sad and happiness. Not like bad sadness though. It's more like.. Y'know, the feeling you feel when you remember the "good old times" and then it makes you sad, but it's not really sad, but it feels sad? I really don't know how to explain it. The happiness is just happy. I'm happy to see my family, my dog, my house, and I can't wait to see y'all friends soon! I might go visit school. Meh. Maybe.
I miss Chicago though. I really love tea btw. I brought some for my family, and I would not shut up about it. It's just such a great thing. Ugh, it's so weird being back!
Anyway, I'mma go do something now. See you soon!

Happy Errbody!
Ok, so don't judge me for this, but I did a Tarot reading, and the cards said that the people at the apartment I went to see were not going to choose me. I think the cards were right. That' ok though. I'm still looking for a place though. I think I can still move out by December 18, but I have to pay an additional 100 dollar fee. No matter. My friend, Michael, said that he would be my roommate. He really wants to move out too. Finding places to live is fun! That's why gwad invented Craigslist.
Not much going on really. Today was a good day. I talked to people. Kyle and I went to Walgreens, and when we got back, he was like, "I don't understand why people come down here (the lobby area) when they have their own TV in their apartments..." And I didn't say anything, but inside I was like, "You anti-social poo! They obviously want to socialize!" I know he likes being alone though, so I respect his preferences and what not. Although the idea makes me sad. If I were him, I'd be depressed. The poor kid never goes out. No, seriously. On the weekends, he stays home ALL DAY. He only goes out if I ask him to come to the store with me or something. I still like him. He just makes me slap my forehead sometimes.
Alex is the winner when it comes to leaving the apartment. He's almost never there, which is fine by me, but I don't think he leaves the building itself. I like to think I'm the one who leaves the building the most. I'm also the one who has more friends outside of the housing facility. In other words, I'm winning! In my head.
That's pretty much everything in my life right now.
Any questions, just let me know.
bye!
Oh! One more thing. I'm going to visit IC on Sunday. From Sunday-Friday. Clear your calendars! Make time for me!
Ok, bye now.

Piano Music
Oh yes. I like piano music sometimes. I think it's nice.
I don't understand people who can play the piano though. It's so hard. I've never been able to play an instrument well in my life, and then there are those peoples who play like twelve instruments. Screw them. Whatever. At least I can.. read and watch movies! That's not really a 'talent' though. I am pretty impressed with me being able to make a daily video every day for the past two and almost-a-half months. Kudos to me!
Sometimes I really miss Iowa City. I want to suddenly take a trip and stay for a couple days. You know? Going back to life the way it used to be. Not like during school or anything, but just during the summer in 2010. Easy. No worries. No work. I'm not saying that those were the best days of my life, (sorry, Mr. Neuzil) but they were just.. different. I'm not unhappy with my life right now. I mean, I don't love it, but it's good enough. I have my books, and YouTube, and Netflix. I really hope that the people in that loft I saw on Tuesday let me in. Then life will be 'real' if you know what I mean.
I'm up to fifty subscribers on YouTube. I'm proud of myself. I'm also trying to economize more. You know, if you only get 200 dollars to spend a month, but you spend it all on cigarettes, then don't complain when you run out of eggs. That was a long sentence, but I hope you know who I'm talking about.
It's sad that Katherine and the others couldn't make it. Hopefully they will soon. And that would be another great thing if I did get that room in the loft. I could have them stay there. No three-night-limit or anything. One thing though, you guys should probably lie about your age to the others. I don't want to sound too positive about that place though. Chances are they are not gonna let me move in, and then I'll be sad for a day or two. The good thing about me though, is that I get over things rather quickly.
Ok, thanks for reading. I'll try to write a short story and put it on here some day. That would be interesting!
Good day,
Ricardo

Anxiety
My AdSense application got approved!
I'm going to become a millionaire now! Just watch me make 1 cent from Katherine today, and then never again.
Yeah. So exciting.
So yesterday I went to see this place. It was really cool. Six bedroom loft, downtown Chicago. $400 a month, plus $25 for utilities. Should I do it? The price is great! People would kill for a price like that. It is a really nice place with an art gallery, and a pingpong table. Two bathrooms, and lots and lots of space. Lofted beds. HUGE lofted beds. Like king sized lofted beds. And very very spacious. The only thing is... I don't even know. It's just too good to be true. I guess that's what's holding me back. So, should I do it? I mean, the ultimate decision comes down to the people who are already living there. I hope they accept me. I don't know. It's just soo stressing! I'm leaning towards doing it, but I'm just afraid something is going to go wrong.
Ok, so please gimme your opinion on that. Thanks.
I hate school, as always.
I'll blog more later. This is mostly to test out this new ad thing. Making money online. I sound like a stay-at-home country mom. "I can make $15,00 a year on Twitter? Oh my!"

$$$
So a lot of money worries lately.
It is ridiculous though, because they should not be worries in the first place. Yeah, I worry about the debt I am going to have three years from now. I think I have the right to do that, right?
So I've been thinking about moving out of the student housing facility. I spoke to this really nice Mexican brother of mine who works in the financial department of the school. He was nice. He didn't tell me that I was making a big mistake or anything, but he did say that maybe I was rushing. Now, I agree with him, but in a way, it really doesn't matter that much. He said that most students wait about a year, and then move out of student housing. Oh well. If I do decide to break the leas though, the fee will be covered by financial aid. That was a big 'phew'. (I don't have 2k laying around.) So if I find a place by the 18th, and I haven't changed my mind, I'm outta there! (any thoughts? Ideas? Suggestions?)
I want food. I'm hungry. I'm buying food later. That's pretty much all I have to say.
The people I found on Craigslist said that I can go and look at the place tomorrow. I'm excited. This is so much better than my favorite soap opera! Jessica Hammer may be visiting over the summer. Yay.
HOLYSHITKATHERINEMIGHTVISITTHISFRIDAY!! If her and Jane and Jake manage to make it, I'd be so happy. We made a plan. Ok, you guys can drive here, we'll go on the ghost tour, and then just walk around. No sleeping! We'll go in the van and talk all night long. Then, during the day time, we'll go into my apt, then we all sleep. Then wake up and adventure more!! (I hope you were serious about it too. Those ghost tours need reservations ahead of time.)
Yeah. I'm monetizing my blog. Y'all be jealous cuz I'mma make like, so much money.
Watch my application get rejected. Yeah.
Thanks for reading.
Bah!

15 Year Old Teenager
I'm getting fed up. Ok, I know I haven't stopped talking about this, but seriously. The dumbest thing just happened. I was being me in the kitchen you know, when suddenly one of my roommates (guess which one) comes up and he's like, "Hey, stop eating my eggs." Now, I did eat some of his eggs.. like three weeks ago. Then I bought my own. And I only ate his eggs because he said he didn't care. And now this morning he's like, "If you eat my eggs, I'll beat the shit out of you." (Yes, he said that.) Then I did the Kate Felmdann "waaooooo.." and he was like, "yeah, wow. You eating my eggs is my fist in your face and you bleeding on the floor." And I though..... seriously?..... Yeah. The other roommate is sick. Boo for him. I made him some green tea, because it's good for that, and he drank some of it but he didn't like it. Then I made him add sugar to it. He still didn't like it. Then we put syrup in it... He still didn't like it. So he drank his canned food coloring with vitamin C- oh I mean- Hawaiian punch. Oh well. I am sick of living here. I am browsing Craigslist right now. There are so many good deals on apartments. The only thing holding me back is my lack of a roommate. A good roommate. I mean, I only have one problem one, but still. Ugh. So yeah. Any of you ICtians know of anyone with no life who wants to move here, refer them to me! I don't trust Craigslist that much. Yeah. And like I said, I have no friends here, so.. #stranded.
Yeah. I'm gonna go finish "Never Let Me Go" now. Such a great book. Yeah. The movie is next.
Ok. Thanks for reading my complaints. Bye!

I'm Bored!
Yeah. I am. I have to write an English paper that was due this morning, but of course I had no idea. It's ok. If I email it to the TEACHER before midnight, it'll all be good. It only has to be two pages too. No complains in that class. Math class though, FUCK YOU STUPID TEACHER! No really, I don't care how old you are, or if you tripped on a chair in front of everyone today, you suck at teaching. Please retire. Sincerely, everyone.
So registration for Winter classes was yesterday. We have to do it online, and the site was supposed to be up all day. Now, the advisors could not stress enough how important it was to register right away. What happens is, all the 'good' classes get filled up, and you end up with a shit schedule. I left home at 7:30 AM that day. I tried registering in between classes, but the site was down. Crap! I didn't get out of my next class until 2:30, and I had to work at 4. (ok, so going home from school would take about 15-20 minutes, then going to work would take about 30 minutes. I had to run.) I basically didn't have time to register in ten minutes. I was like, "poo!" I wouldn't be back home until 10:30. I panicked. So what I did was run. Literally. My train was coming, so I had to. Then I got to the transfer point, and the train I needed was there, so, I jammed myself in as the doors were closing (I know we're not supposed to do that, and everyone on the train hated me for delaying it ten seconds.) If I hadn't done that though, none of the following would have happened. Since I got on the train right away, I was like 30 minutes early, and since I work on Michigan Avenue, I am but three blocks away from the Apple Store! So I went there, and I registered. At the Apple Store. On a 17 inch MacBook pro. Dayum! I don't know about you, but I felt like win. Then I went to work. Half way through the shift though, my coworker got a call. His grandfather passed away. I was like, "sorry," Which I really was, but the rest was awkward... At least he gave me something to vlog about.
And that's how things are right now.
I talked to someone. They're gonna let me take Intro to Film without the prerequisite, because I'm awesome. I just saved a ton of money and time, bitches!
So yeah. I'm happy. And hungry. Excuse me, I'm gonna go eat now. Bye!
COME VISIT ME, DAMN IT!
(I'll visit IC soon too.)
