January is a jerk...to put it nicely.

I am broke, and things are falling apart. I am without a steady job, during the worst possible time to be without one. I'm waiting on my loans to come through so I can pay my rent, because I could scrounge up one month, but that's it. I thought I was really getting crapped on when I walked out to my car the other day to find the driver's side mirror hanging off; sans note from the perp.

I mean, I thought it sucked then. That was before I missed my bus to one of my classes, forcing me to drop it without even seeing a syllabus. I've been waiting for a stupid book to come in the mail that we've already been working on in French, that Amazon failed to notify me got sold to someone else, so it's not even coming.

I go to the grocery store tonight, need to pick up just a few small things. It turned out to be tons cheaper than i thought it would be; in and out in 15 minutes max. My car won't start. It's done, it doesn't like this cold weather any more than I do, and it won't even jump start. And I'm broke.

I am generally a very optimistic person, in all honesty, but this is just getting kicked when you're down. I'm trusting that God has got something worked out, but the prospect of loosing my car, or going without it for a while doesn't exactly make life any easier. I hate january; and this january does not exactly make 2009 look promising.
