This sty is killing me!!

So I have been a little more then stressed out latley. Why? Well because i am stupid and am letting things get to me that i normaly shrug off. Here is a list of things that have been weighing me down that i no longer care about and will not let them kill me any longer.

- We cant get approved for a house. After dealing with a woman who acted sincere and then stood us up at a house and then proceded to act as if we were going to turn the house into a scene from animal house. It sucks being profiled and there is nothing you can do. I am the most boring 23 year old there ever was!

Finally being fed up with the woman running me around for 2 months i called up a friend and she found someone who would help us. The first place we put an application to we were "not a match" and were turned down. There went 80 bucks in application fees out the window. Tomorrow i am turning in 4 more applications for a new place (cross your fingers for us). It has a Hot Tub!!! you know you want us to get it :).

- I got a letter about 2 weeks ago informing me that i still owed Virginia College money! After a year of being gone from the school! WHAT?!? not just a small sum either. They think i owe them alot of money. I have no way of proving that i dont owe this money and they sent it to a collection agent and now i screwed. But ehh its just my entire savings..only money. I went to virginia college to see what i could do about finding out why i owe them this random money because they would not return my phone calls. I got nothing from them just a "you owe us" and "we deal with you now you have to go to the agent". So i call the agent to pay and now and he cant finish my payment because virginia college wont call him back either...yay that just comedy right there.

- Work, which should never be stressful for me has been because of the demand. I have alot of responsibility and i am gone to shows. I was gone for 8 straight days and when i came back i had 55 emails and 30 voicemails. All of them had to be replied to and taken care of. Most of the people had been helped but a few were pissed off. Not much i can do but say sorry and think to myself, " why not call back and talk to someone else if you needed everything done so bad?" Apparently its a compliment to me. they like me so much they dont want to deal with anyone else, at least thats the way i look at it. The back of the shop being 108 doesnt help. I feel sorry for the guys its just sooo hot back there.

- I had to move out of my apt. Now i am living at home with my rents. Not really a bad thing because they dont care what i do and i get to save money on rent for this month but something is wrong with there house. Its old and has dust in it or somthign but i havent had a good nights sleep yet. I wake up with a soar throat and my head hurts. I dont know what it is but it needs to stop.

- To add to my crazyness i got a sty. I have never had one before but it is quite possibly to most annoying and irritating bump you can have on your body. Its a pimple in your eye and its stings and is very very ugly. I went to the doctor today and he gave me some drops that i am conviced are just water drops. They dont do anything.

Now, all of these things really arent that bad. I mean work isnt really that crazy, i got all the e-mails and voice mails handled today. Not having a house to live in sucks but if i am going to get a house with my friends it will happen, hopefully it happens with this next house because a 1 bedroom apt is looking really nice right about now. Living at home isnt bad, at least they have cable. Loosing my savings isnt going to kill me i will just save up more. All of that i can live with but i swear if i get another sty i am going to go nuts.

Aww sorry james. I get those stys all the time...They suck! I went to my eye doctor and asked if he knew what caused them, and he said stress. I think that means he should write me a prescription for a weekly deep-tissue massage that insurance covers because it's medical related.

But i digress. I hope your life gets less crazy. At least you seem to have a good attitude about it.
