This is for everyone who saw The Ring. Granted, Manna found this and showed it to me, but I'll post the link anyway and suck up all the credit.

I woke up feeling pretty darn good today and I am in a great mood, probably due to the sugar of all these Oreos I've been eating in order to gain some weight back before Monday. I didn't do anything productive today, but I did finally beat Final Fantasy X. I didn't think I liked the game that much, but then I noticed that I've put in 50+ hours of gametime so I guess I must like it a little after all.

Over Spring Break, Matt and I are taking a week-long trip with a tour group of 13 other people to England and France. It's going to be my first time out of the country and I'm thrilled that I'll get to share it with Matt. We're all signed up and I'm incredibly excited... The only problem is that since my budget's pretty tight at the moment, Matt offered to pay for my ticket and I plan to pay him back. Matt makes a lot of money and money isn't an issue to him, but I feel excrutiatingly unreliable whenever I don't pay someone back for something. The problem is that this trip is over $1600 a person, and my job in Athens, which has to cover all of my textbooks, art supplies and living expenses while I'm at school, pays $312 a month. If I tried to put aside even $20 a week to give to Matt I think it would take me roughly four hundred years to pay him back, and I'm worried he or I might die before then. Even though this really isn't any kind of pressing issue-- I know that Matt won't give it a second thought-- it's going to knaw at me until I find some way to resolve it.

Speaking of money, I found out the other day that so far my cancer treatment has cost over $50,000. And there's still a lot of treatment and several surgeries left to go. Thank goodness for insurance, I guess. Just thinking about it makes me dizzy. Or maybe it's these damn Oreos.
