I'm trying to find silver linings in things or plus sides to things but its been difficult. I need to keep trying so I don't end up being one of those bitter old men you see in rest homes who are completely by themselves. Erghhhhh this is difficult.
I need to get a new laptop. I do like mine but I don't think it would be powerful enough for various new software and my laptop is only about a year old. I'll keep it for storage and as a backup though once I get a new laptop. Hopefully I'll be able to get one with a webcam and microphone built in. Though I've gotten a microphone to work (and that took forever to get it to work) I still cant get my webcam to work with Ubuntu linux which is what I have because when I got my computer it was a couple hundred dollars more to get one with Xp on it. I'm going to be hopefully working full time this summer to save up enough money to cover what my pell grant wont cover for UVU next year. Out of state tuition is about 5000 a semester and my pell grant will cover about 2500 a semester so I need to earn at least 3000-4000 dollars this summer to cover fall semesters tuition and then I'll hopefully earn enough by the end of the semester to cover the difference for springs tuition. If I can earn all the money I need for school this summer then I am going to save up for a new laptop.
And I'm also scheming about some projects that I'd like to do and I've been looking on the internet and found a website that sells the whole bolt of fabric (usually about 9 yards worth) for around 50 bucks depending on the material. Silk of course is more expensive and it was the bolts of cotton fabric I was looking at. I've also been price comparing on sewing machines and I looked on ebay and I'm wondering if it would be worth it to buy a sewing machine used on ebay. I found a couple that were good models in good conditions that would cost a whole lot more to buy brand new.

oooooh ooooooh ooooooooooooh what is it that you want to make??
there are a couple of things I want to make. One project is a t-shirt pillow and I want to get a bolt of fabric so I can attempt to make a blanket. Also my youngest brother is going to be in Cub Scouts soon and I saw this cool cub scout blanket kit online that you sew together that I would like to make for him. Then I also want to try making some pillows. Theres a whole lot of things I want to make. The creative side of me is really running at the moment. I need to write some of these ideas down before I forget lol.
Theres a website called etsy where you can buy and sell homemade things and if I get any good at my projects that I am going to attempt I am going to try selling some on etsy.
Then onto cooking I want to make suckers again like I got to make in my gourmet cooking class but those can wait till after my sewing projects.
And this year Halloween is going to be fun. I don't know what I'm going to do yet but hopefully I'll be able to make something.

Dude, I wanted to sell my jewelry on etsy. I didn't get everything verified right, though, and haven't really bothered to retry. xD
And my grandma used to sew my sisters and my halloween costumes every year. She's who got me interested in sewing, really. I stil have one of them from when I was like...5. Haha.
I'm getting stuff together to cross-stitch a dragonball z pillow for my summer project. so i know the feeling when your 'creative juices' start flowing, and it feels awesome :D
Mom said we could take her long table sewing machine with us to Utah. Well, actually, I told her that I was going to take it, but she said ok. Will that solve your problem?
