  I've started and restarted this entry several times now... I'm just going to throw eloquence and thoughtfulness out the window.

  For weeks, we've been searching for a car for Rephe.  He's been hoping to find a job, start getting his life running... but our budget was only $3,000, and everything we were finding in that price range had some serious damage sustained.  One dealer even tried to get away with selling us a vehicle that "bogged out" when it started.  I know that we weren't offering much, but who would put any kind of money into a promise like that?  I'm glad Anthony was there to keep us in line.  We're so naive... and impressionable.  But he was telling us what to expect and telling them what they needed to know, minus all of the confused glances that Rephe and I answered their inquiries with.  Today, we finally found something.  It's a white 2000 Blazer.  The worst I can say for it is that it's a gas hog.  But it's big, comfortable, and seems reliable enough to get him where he needs to go.  I'm really happy for him.    And especially excited for the rides I'm going to get in it.

  As for myself, I had three finals on Wednesday... and just like that, one semester is over.  If the teacher rounds up from 0.8, then I've got myself one of the two A's that I need to be out of the red zone.  If not, well, I'm still in the same boat that I started the spring in.  Being extremely stressed out and wanting to celebrate the end of those particular classes, Rephe and I went and finally watched Harry Potter after the tests.  I liked it. 

  I had fun staying up absurdly late and talking to Andrew again.

  I'm not in the mood to divulge a lot.  I am in the mood to write (when aren't I?), but it all seems to be fizzling out right now.  What I can say is this: by this time next year, my goal is to have taken a vacation to a big city in the north.  Chicago, probably.  I've wanted to go back since I first saw it... and I think that the trip is going to change things, somehow.  What's more, I feel like if I don't make it, something will be dead.  I have to do it.

  /heart.
