My loan came through! $2000, and I didn't even need a co-signer!

I must be cautious about this money... while $2000 is more money than I have had at my disposal in 4 years, I must remember that it is not an endless resevoir of power or anything like that, and that I simply must must MUST be judicial about its use.

No gaming splurges. No fast food binges. No liquor. No fine dining.

I need stuff for my apartment, stuff for school, and, finally, some new goddam clothes. If I'm going to be a bartender, I need to be well-dressed.

Either way, I'm quite pleased! Woo-hoo!

I think Vikki will be a good roomate. I have to admit the whole time I was hanging out with her the other day, I had a compulsive urge to hug her over and over and over... of course, I get that every time I'm around anyone these days. *sigh*

Ok... first step, "I believe there is a higher power to which I am beholden..."
