Oh, life.

My favorite Ronald Reagn quote goes something like this "the best social program is a job."
I need a job.
I don't like having to ask people for money, it's humiliating.
I usually do have a job, or at least something that resembles a job.
It has been almost 6 months since I have had a job.
Four of those months were spent at a White House internship in DC, so I didn't have time for a job.
The next month was spent recuperating from a 13 hour days, 5 days a week.
This last month I have no excuse for. I put in several applications all over Wilmington. Not a one has replied to me.
I found out that Wilmington has the highest unemployment rate in NC.

So, I have gotten pretty efficient on budgeting what my parents will give from time to time, but it's not much, and I'm lad that its not. I hate the kids that don't know how to properly earn what the deserve. my entire high school was filled with them. "Oh, you have a brand new BMW? congrats, I actually know what it's like to work for what I have. Have fun with your car, because it's not taking you far in life."
Random tangent.
Anyway, to get back to my point, I have been trying not to ask my parents for anything unless it is completely necessary, because I know that times are tough and I like to help in anyway that I can.
I decided that this week I didn't need anything. I thought long and hard about this decision.
No, there is nothing that I need this week.

Well, then reality decided to pay me a visit.
It turns out that my new computer, has windows xp, but not Microsoft office.
This means that my computer will function fine, but it doesn't have Microsoft word, excel, power point, or publisher.
All of which are vital for a college student.

I was very mad and I had to swallow my pride when I asked my dad if he could help me out.
Isn't it funny when life decides to pop and just ruin your plans?
because I think it's hilarious.

I love sarcasim.
Can you tell?
