#3682 – sick day

This was posted over 19 years ago; my opinions, thoughts, attitude, and writing style may have evolved since then, and this post might have been different if it were to be posted today.

woke up this morning and still wasn’t feeling entirely well, so i called in sick. at least my headache was gone, but somehow i still felt out of it. came upstairs, and then slept for another 6 hours until about noon.

i spent most of the day watching old episodes of “airline” i had recorded, my second dvd of “the brak show”, and fiddling around with my cable box. i think it should be working a little better now, and i need to find some way of ventilating the cabinet better. i also think i got mom interested in putting curtains up in the living room, due to some experiments i was doing with the operation of the cable box with regards to sunlight and heat vs. recording and the remote.

i got email news that my fafsa has been completed and sent to umbc for determining if i can get federal grants so i can quit my job and finish class full-time. the problem is, it calculated the amount i myself can provide based on the amount i made the previous year, using my tax return as an estimation. so, it says “hey glenn, you’ll be able to provide $11,000-something! we’ll take that into consideration when figuring out how much else we’ll give you!”. the problem is, if i want to do this full-time, i’ll have to quit my job and then how will i get the $11,000-something they think i’m providing? wish there was a way to say “hey, look, this is what my plan is”…

i have also kind of been looking into university of maryland university college, but i’m still unsure about that. blahh.

tomorrow: work, then class. funny, i’m not in the mood for either. 😛
