Cars

 My car has always been a problem if it is not one thing it is another. I always have to find a way to fix it because mechanics for a European car are not cheap. Since the start of the semester one of my windows has broken and the battery of my car. My car battery literally would not start when I went to take my mom to the doctor. I had to get an Uber home and my dad had to take me to go buy a new battery. The new battery cost me 200$ which is pretty expensive. Later we had to go jumpstart the car so I could fix it at my house. These tiny fixes may not seem like much but with every tiny fix goes at least a hundred dollars. I have been looking into getting a new car since I do have money saved up and it is just a matter of time before I make the switch. After all it is much more cost efficient driving a higher mile per gallon car from the United States as the car is easier to fix, the parts are easier to find, and you save hundreds on gas. Ever since I have stopped going to the Stockton campus I only go to the gas station once a week instead of two to three times which is really good considering I usually end up pumping around 40$ each time. Last semester I spent a grand in just fuel which makes me laugh because it only gets 15mpg.

    Sounds interesting, because I bet that those tiny cost throughout time to end up piling up. I just recently got a car and will hopefully soon start driving to school instead of taking the bus, but I haven't taken in consideration the costs of gas and maintenance etc. But Im sure the benefits of driving myself is better than the costs.

As Class Nears Its End

As class nears its end I am excited to almost be a sophomore one step closer to graduating I guess. Overall I think college was not as difficult as I expected it to be, I did complain a lot about all the work that was handed to me but it was more because I did not want to do it rather than it being hard to do. Making friends in college was also easier than expected can't explain how I did it but I did. Most of my classes are already done except for finals so I am pretty much already done. For physics cant really tell you what I have left as I have not been showing up the only class with work left to complete is my Portuguese class but it is an oral presentation in a group so that should be really easy. So now I only have to worry about finals before finally finishing my first year in college. Not much has gone on since last week I have only had my criminal justice speech which was really bad last Monday. I still got an A on the speech as the teacher was lenient since...
