I got accepted for the Birthright Israel trip I wanted to go on! Cue freakout about the money - I was hoping it would leave from LA (and hence would be cheap) but of course I wanted to go on the specialized one for artists. And it leaves from NYC.

So I have to buy plane tickets from Las Vegas to NYC. I'm running short on money anyway, which sucks because I really, really wanted to extend the trip and go to Egypt. ('Cause I'm never going to be able to afford going there on my own, at least not for years.)

My mom said she'll get Dad to help with the plane tickets, though. So maybe I can get them to pitch in for going to Egypt. Or maybe if I'm lucky my Pell Grant for Summer will come through before May 31st (since the last day of class is the 15th).

Anyway, I'm excited. I don't know how it'll work with my health - I get double vision every time I get hot, though I've discovered it also has to do with when I last ate/drank. Except I'm thinking Israel probably isn't quite as hot as Las Vegas in the summer, so since it leaves by late May hopefully I'll have figured out how to deal with that crazy shit.

My frames completely combusted in on themselves today. They were quite old by this point, and I think I stress damaged them fairly poorly in the first week of my double vision, when I had been bending them repeatedly because I thought my medical problem was related to a bad prescription.

I had bought a new pair via Zenni Optical a few nights ago because I knew I had to replace them, but alas I cannot go more than a couple of hours without lenses. I am almost legally blind. So I couldn't wait for them to be shipped. I went down to the frames store at the mall, and VERY LUCKILY they had a pair of frames that fit the lenses they had cut for me at the end of December. Also, I guess I was lucky it happened when I had money. What to say?

I did miss my first bartending class though. Hopefully the teacher will be understanding?

I also dropped a check in the mail for some neon bending equipment. So I spent a lot of money today and that needs to stop. I'm going to go check out the neon books from the library tomorrow so I can start making a list of the rest of the equipment I need. I was going to start running my kickstarter campaign to raise the rest of the money, but I actually think I should be sure of what I'm going to need, and how much that will cost before I start.

Depressingly? I heard that the neon supply catalog that my teacher recommended due to cheapness? Yeah, they're closing doors for good as of last week.

Stupid dying craft, why did I have to fall in love with you? Why not just make comics instead?
