Blegh

I got a letter from our health insurance carrier today.  They're raising our premiums.  And then I realized, we'll be paying 3/4 the amount of what we pay for rent for our insurance premium.  We already pay over half the cost of our rent towards our stupid premiums.  Also, rent takes about 60% of my paycheck away from me.

Did I mention I live in subsidized housing?  Maybe there's a reason for that...

With our upcoming graduation, we will probably be giving up our health insurance.  Because as everyone says, health insurance is a luxury.  And since I can't live in and eat at the hospital, then I guess I have to give up health insurance.

Apparently, having a roof over your head is a luxury.  So is buying food from the grocery store.  So is having a job.  I must just be some lazy ass who can't do anything since I can't find a job (so say the political pigs)...

It's Not Fair...

I have spent the last four hours doing my physical chemistry homework. I would say overall, I have spent about twenty hours on it. That's two hours per problem. And I've decided it's not fair. Homework really, really stinks. And the fact that I still have my biochemical engineering homework to do (which will probably take double the time) really, really sucks. It's ridiculous. And after three years, I really want to call it quits. It's as if I don't like engineering any more.

I told Jared that I was quitting engineering and going to become an elementary teacher. That sounds a lot more exciting right now...
