The experiences and exploits of a college grad trying to make it in the "real world:" leaving school and friends in New England, moving south, and living with her boyfriend. Watch as I pretend to be an adult.
Oh my god- I just passed a gas station with prices at $3.39/gallon. Sweet baby jeebus, I'm not going to be able to afford to drive! You know, I wouldn't mind so much if America offered the same sort of energy efficient vehicles Europe does. But we're doubly screwed! We can't buy a car that will save us money on gas, so we're forced to pay through the damn nose. Dude, I'm so considering saving enough money to buy an old diesel clunker and converting it to bio diesel. Seriously- this is insane.

Addendum: since the subject of this post was rather depressing and the title admitedly crude (I was going for effect here, people), here are two little tidbits that are neither- I hope: 1) I have now downloaded (using my neighbors bandwidth mwahaha) 78% of a 4.3 GB compilation of Coltrane. It is literally everything he ever produced, and I cannot describe how excited I am. It should be done in 7 hours, and I will probably do cartwheels if it finishes by then- in time for me to load it onto my ipod for my trip. God, I'm such a dork. 2) Do any of my readers out there know what OPEC really stands for? I ask because when one of my polisci professors submitted that same question to an upper level class I was taking, only about 7 of us raised our hands. I'm pleased to say I was one of those who knew (breaths on nails, buffs them on shirt). OPEC- Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries
