I recently ran into some money issues. I won't get into the details but the lesson learned: I know how to increase my income. I need to get on that, pronto.

Tiko, are you promoting drug use? That story is too funny – but what a great lesson! Now just promise to apply it even when you don't have a cough….

Ok…here's my story…

Yesterday, I was trying to get my home assignment turned in on time and I was playing it real close. I had the thought that I should ask for help, but I dismissed it cause "I can do it!", right? Wrong. I had a bit of a cough, so I took a double dose of cough syrup. Yeah, 30 minutes later, I was high as a kite! At this point, I realized…I NEED HELP! I was forced to ask for help. I had to ask someone to get me something to eat so I could stop floating. And, I figured it would be a good idea to get a little help from one of my classmates so I wouldn't be late turning in my home assignment. A chicken sandwich and large fry later…I felt better, and I got my assignment done waaay early. Yay me! And, yes, I learned my lesson!! I promise!

The crappy thing that happened to me lately is that the odds are telling us we won't make the Sept deadline to submit our co-op board package, which means we don't get interviewed until Nov, which means we'll have to live with my Mom & stepfather for 2-4 weeks or so. Don't get me wrong, my Mom & stepdad are lovely & will make us feel so welcome & invited (I have a feeling there might be balloons & banners when we arrive), but the hourlong train ride into & out of the city each day during rush hour is gonna be super duper sucky.

What this suckiness is allowing me to learn is that life isn't always flexible, & I need to learn how to roll with the punches without getting stressed out/complaining. And that, in the grand scheme of things, this could be a much, much worse situation – like having NOWHERE to go for those 2-4 weeks!
