Staring Down a Difficult Week

I've found that I have a really hard time updating this sometimes. It'll get better though.

I haven't finished Better than Beauty yet, but I have started Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I worked an 8 hour shift today, so I read a bit on my lunch break. They're not at the Quidditch Cup yet, but they will be soon. Reading the books really makes me want to watch the movies!

So starting this week, Nate will be away doing band camps pretty much non-stop until the end of August. I knew it was coming, but I have a habit of forgetting things that aren't constantly in my face. So basically, he mentioned leaving two days ago, and I was like, "Wait, what?" I'm really going to miss him. We've been spending so much time together lately that even though we both have work and stuff, I've basically seen him every day. To go from that to seeing him maybe for a day a week just makes me feel sad and lonely. I love spending time with him, and now, since band camp is so exhausting, I will probably be lucky to hear from him once every few days. Jeez, I'm depressing myself. This month will just be tough, I suppose.

Speaking of it being almost August...it's almost August! Where did summer go? I guess working and taking multiple classes really does make the summer go by much faster. Last year I stopped working in late June and I only had class 1 night a week starting in July, but since I'm working 20+ hours a week and have class Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday mornings, summer's just flying by! I'm getting ready to do my back-to-school shopping and am starting to get all of my school stuff together. But more than that...I have 1 month to save up as much money as physically possible. When classes start on the 30th, I'll probably be lucky to get 15 hours a week. I can live on that, but I'd love to be able to save up $400 this month so that I don't have to worry about being able to pay rent for awhile. I really hope I can do it. At least my increased work ethic will help me get through this month without Nate. It'll help my take my mind off things, hopefully.

So yeah. I'm just hoping that reading HP and working will help me deal with my loneliness.
