Up to the Sky

I finally got my financial aid refund, I paid a lot to my dad and still have some money I owe him. Another 200 at least.
Apparently the past few years that we've had cable [for the first time] we have been paying for less than we have been getting. We had all these channels that we weren't actually supposed to have. They finally realized it and took them off. So now we have channels up to 23 which is the Discovery Channel so I can still watch Dirty Jobs! Although there are two downfalls, I can't watch 10 Things I Hate About You and I can't watch it's Always Sunny in Philadelphia when the season starts next month. My dad may pay to get those channels back but not now. So the Internet will be my source. I just think it's funny we had these extra channels the whole time, I didn't even know that they weren't actually part of our plan, in fact, neither of us did. There were supposed to be free for the first 3 months and then taken off.

I'm currently very anxious for tomorrow. Since I've been renovating my room a little bit, I've decided to get more furniture, mostly to hold all these damn books I have. So my friend and I are taking a trip to IKEA, it's about time I'm actually going there to purchase something for myself. I've mostly decided what I want, thanks to the online and paper catalogs. Now I just need to see the items myself and see if it's really what I want. I'll definitely be getting rid of some furniture in the process, so that will be nice.

I finally saw Funny People last night, it was hilarious and especially amusing to watch Eric Bana in his first mainstream comedy role. Not only that, but his Australian accent. Man, I'll definitely have to be around more Australians before I can grow accustomed to that thick accent. It's too distracting [in a very good way]. I also enjoyed all the random funny people that were featured in the film, and all the jokes which obviously shows there was a lot of improvisation.
I hung out with a friend I haven't seen in awhile, and although I'm worried about her and wish her the best in hard times, I had such a good time seeing her. I've been depressed at work lately and all mostly due to her absence there. I told her she deserves a trophy for being my first co-worker whom I've befriended and actually hang out with outside of work.

And lastly, while I have been cleaning my room, I always stumble across fun things. It's always nice to look at your yearbooks when you haven't for 6 months to a year. But I also save just about all my homework from school since, well, forever. My sophomore year in college, which seems so long ago, I did a project about Pluto for English. It was a collection of all sorts of things we had to do regarding our subject of choice, including a persuasive paper, poems, visuals, PowerPoint, research papers, and the likes. All the more personal and creative writings where then accompanied by another paper describing the meaning and implications in that writing. Here is a poem I wrote that was kind of fun to read again that I feel like sharing.

Celestial Experience
Floating in my own world
With my head out in space
Care free of the underworld
But only trying to find my place

I look up to the heavens
Wishing I only knew more
Just to look through that large lens
To find my destiny to explore

All the constellations
Spell something out to me
Some kind of formation
Of what I can be

The moon guides me through
Prying open my third eye
Of all that is possibly true
That I can reach beyond the sky
