Broke your glasses, but it broke the ice/You said that I was an asshole and I paid the price

Broke. Utterly broke. $0.73 in my bank account broke. I've not yet resorted to scrounging for change, but I don't think I'll get to that point. There's been a lull (of sorts) in my life recently. I work two jobs, but I don't have enough time to work. Unfortunately this gives me a low cash flow. The semester is almost over, so I'll be able to work a lot soon, but that doesn't help right now. Fortunately, the most important stuff is covered, and I finally got my car back. After about a month and a half (maybe longer), I got my car back. It runs great. Hell, after a head rebuild, new timing belt, and new control arm, it damn well better run great. I have lost a bit of confidence in the reliability of the car, but hopefully it'll soon prove itself and I'll be able to go on a daytrip or something.

Unless you're an engineering or physics major, you probably have no idea how much my life revolves around triangles and sums of forces/moments right now. Simple frames boil down to triangles and sums of forces/moments. Less simple frames and roof trusses do the same. All that mathematics behind light and optics is simply trigonometry. Everything has to equal zero. Static equilibrium. Snell's law. Reflection. Refraction. Friction. Greek letters.

One class is down. Linear algebra. I took my last test tonight. I'm fairly certain that I got a B overall in the class. I should have done better. I very well could have, had I studied more.

I need food. I need to buy food. All I've got left is tuna and chili. Doesn't seem like an appetizing combination.
