I'm going to be going back to school in about 3 weeks. I've been on a overdone break which was supposed to last only a semester...lead up being into 2 years of working and playing. I'm going back to school to finish up my EE degree. by the looks of things, I'll be graduating at 30 
. I work at an electrical firm now. My boss pulled me to the side and kinda lectured me about finishing my education. Nearly sounding like my Dad. He wants to know how bad I wanted to be an engineer vs just an electrical designer. And saying stuff like, he knows his days are being numbered because he's already in his 70s. the other workers in the company in their mid 40s and over arent really into the things I like. Oddly, being the newbie in the company (working there 2 years now) he liked my optimism in whats out there and what needs to be found put to work. kinda like saying his will to me 
i hope nothings going to be happening to him and such. ANYWAYS!!! this was a while back and I registered for me escuela at UH and talked to my counselor and dean of admissions and the EE department. my EE class completion are still good, but i need to retake some classes 
(a big leason learned in procrastination) now how does this relate to the TR? well...I'm in direstraights of needing money for books. My tuition paid for at $1300. The buick is my weakness right now because I'll have no time finishing the LC2/BRF swap...at the same time I need money for books. at least $1500. and college budget sucks because I'll have to stop eating food ala carte and start visiting costco for rahmen and spam. and because traffic here in Hawaii is like crap. Imagine being stuck in traffic for 20mi and more traffic once you hit campus. with gas prices so high lowest price for premium here is $2.04 for 92. highest ive seen is $2.45 paradise kinda sucks when I view things in the perspective of money. So I'm come to the point where I need to sell the TR. And everyone' in my household is rejoicing my decision because they thing that car is just a waste of my time and money. I plainly saw it as a car i really really reeeeaaally liked and would do anything to get it at the time...only to find its going to be my burden. Oh well..as soon as I graduate and become a professional engineer. I'll be able to afford another one. this is almost as hard as deciding what I should be spending more money on..my girlfriend? or the buick? 
In a situation where money is tight and where places look pretty close together, you'd have to endure countless detours...what would one do? I know I'm making a wise choice in continuing my education..but at the expense of something i worked hard on. I just have to keep repeating to myself "With perseverance will come great rewards" a nice black GN after finishing school being the reward sorry for the rants....I just made the decision today to sell off the car and all things in my garage that relates to the buick. thanks for reading my bitching
