rant.
So, on days like today I hate being married. Since I got fired Monday (3 days ago), I've picked up one shift at my old job (soap store) and also have been busting my butt on law school applications/personal statements. I have not been bumming around or being lazy. Yet Scott is being the biggest jerk to me. I keep getting e-mails with scholarship offers, which makes me really excited. Yes, they are usually to the smaller schools like Northern Kentucky, Oklahoma State, Arkansas at Little Rock, etc. Somehow, the fact that I'm even LOOKING at these smaller schools in the midwest is a personal attack on him. He hates the thought of living in these places (even though he's never seen them) so according to him, I'm being selfish. Even if I get a full-ride to one of these schools, he'd rather pay $30,000/year to be where he wants to be.
He got mad at me for sleeping in today, even though I was up until 3am finishing an essay. I guess I was supposed to read his mind that he wanted me to help wash the car at 10am? My bad.
I have been planning on going to a job fair tomorrow morning for a brand new SeaWorld water park. It looks really cool, and I have a ton of lifeguarding experience-- I thought it might be a good job for my last few month in Orlando. Well, tonight my soap store called and asked if I wanted to pick up a shift tomorrow, and I declined because of the job fair. This made Scott mad because he thinks the job fair is a waste of time, that theme-park jobs are worthless, and that I'm stupid for turning down the opportunity to make some money tomorrow. He doesn't understand that me looking for a job is worthwhile...he said that I'm being selfish and not thinking about "us". This is after being jobless for only 3 days, and he himself has only gotten 2 shifts this week. It's ridiculous. He stormed out because I am making him so mad. Whatever, be a jerk, stay gone for however long you want.
