Balancing Act

So I have always been aware that my life balances itself out. If something really bad happens, then something really good happens to make it okay. If something really good happens, then something bad happens to bring me back to reality.

So lthe last two weeks were great. I got a paycheck, my family came to Utah, and I got to see my friends, one of them twice :). I did some fiction writing, wrote a guitar song and drafed up some lyrics, and I beat the motoracing game I have. I made some new friends and I got a scripture-reading buddy for Wednesday nights. Work was wearing me out, but that's what work is supposed to do, so I really wasn't too bad.

Then I went to get my car registered, and I found out that my insurance was cancelled in December 2008 and I have to pay 300+ bucks to fix that and then pay to sign up for insurance before I get my car registered. Also, I still have to do safety and emissions. This is on top of the filling and cap that I need to get done soon and pay the dentist for. That is on top of rent and tuition. That is on top of groceries and utilities. So yeah, life starts balancing out.

And it continues balancing out. My dad is getting divorced again and I am very sad about this. I like ReAnne, and I liked him living in Ogden. Ogden is close to me, especially when you compare it to Rawlins, WY. It will cost more gas money to see him now, so that means I won't see him quite as often. And I don't know what else is going to change. I like change, but not this kind of change. This kind sucks.

So thank you, life, for being so well rounded. But frankly, why couldn't I just get the stomach flu or have a really bad anemic episode? At least that's easy to deal with.

The good news is that my favorite Harry Potter book is coming out in theaters this month, and I am VERY excited for it. I'm just hoping that I won't get pulled over on my way to it. Maybe I will drive in the dark from now on.

Oh question for astonomers: assuming that it can happen, how can only half of a star die?

Also, I am not a fan of humidity. It makes everything feel like yuck.

And has anyone ever done a GRE? I have to do it soon.
