So, my first student loan bill came today. Without posting specifics of my financial situation on the Internet, let me say that the amount owed comes to Quite A Lot, but still not enough to make any sizeable dent in my overall Pile Of Debt.
I opened it and almost cried. I might still cry later on, when there's no chance of my parents catching me at it.
But, there was pie today, and no one can be uncheered by pie; even so, pie does not make debt go away. My sadness and terror has not decreased one jot. It's just accompanied by 'yay pie!'
So - these are what humans call 'emotions.' I'm not sure I approve.
