The Car and Me...

So for the last year and month I haven't had a car.
I sold my poor baby last year around this time to a friend of mine so that I could have extra money in my pocket for the year 2006 and I wouldn't have to worry about insurance and all the stuff that comes along with that.

Well it turns out that maybe that wasn't a good idea.

For the last year baby and I have been sharing his car which is a 2006 (Limited Edition) Volkswagen Jetta. It is a good car. I mean I can drive it and the sound system in it is amazing. I turn up the stereo and full blast it down I-84 to class which is only one exit away from campus
Well that was last semester

This semester Baby has a full load in his master's program because we are trying to get the hell out of this small town in the year 2008 and that is contingent on him graduating next year. Anyway so he has class every night and work every day. I have class everyday during the day and at night. Thanks to president bush and the war in Iraq and the idea that we could trade the car in next year and get something better (my dream car Infiniti FX35) we have been doing serious carpooling.

So I wake up when Baby wakes up in the morning (6:30am) and get to campus at 8:00am then I am in school until Baby picks me up after his night class at 10:00pm. I could have lived on campus for this kind of schedule. I mean seriously! I am in school all day and doing homework and school work. And then by the time I get home I am too tired to sleep (I am an insomniac)

What pisses me off the most is that when I am awake pacing back and forth trying to exhaust myself, baby is fast asleep , and then when he wakes me up in the morning and I am cranky (not a morning person) he gets upset.

Okay side not here: I NEED A CAR! this schedule is grueling. Not to mention that I have a class in the early morning. I have two classes with the same professor and he had the gall to say to me " i find you more involved in class in the afternoon than in the morning, why is this (Insert my Name here)?" I tried not to sound so irritated and condescending when I replied and that took a lot of control. Who the hell puts a class at 8:00am?

Maybe the last year has spoiled me and I have forgotten the days of trudging down the hill at Jamestown Apartments in Baltimore to catch the 6:30am bus to get to work by 7:30am or the mornings in Baltimore when I had to roll myself out of my beautiful "buzz" induced slumber to go teach some little hellions...

As Baby has gotten fond of saying after each good morning kiss "get up spoiled brat! time to hit the shower!" I am beginning to get the picture and the solution to my problems "I need an espresso machine" Guess what is going on the top of my wedding gift registry list?

Yes I am officially a spoiled lady.

And I am not complaining

Except when you wake me up before 12:00 in the f-ing morning!
