I get a little stressed about the price of oil, food, and how that will affect the world’s economy today.

This month is the worst and best month of the year. It has always been the busiest month for me and my family. I finalized my new lease for June 2008 through June 2009. I have received information that I might be getting $300 from the IRS for the Economic Stimulus Package. The tests and projects are revving up. I had one test yesterday. I have two tests on Wednesday (4/9/2008) and more coming later this month. My immediate family has 3 birthdays this month, including my own.

Money is tight at the moment, so I’m watching every purchase with great vigilance. I have to get groceries soon, but I don’t get paid until 4/16. I’ve been needing to get an oil change, so I finally did today. My wallet hurts a little; $55. This afternoon and evening I decided to procrastinate as much as possible, so I didn’t read the 200+ pages for my 2 exams on Wednesday. I researched my schedule for the fall and I’ll talk to my adviser to determine if what I choose is appropriate. When I have a nailed down schedule I’ll post something about it. I’ve also been cleaning: the bathtub, vacuuming my room, sweeping the kitchen and entry, and washing my dishes. After that I listened to and watched a few podcasts. Security Now! 138 I finished my day just with Finance homework and blogging. I hope your month is better than mine. (My month isn’t really that bad, but I like to over-exaggerate.)

For the most part, I not one to believe conspiracies, but I’ve just thought of one. This is completely imaginary, I don’t have any sources, I just came up with this off the top of my head.

The U.S. federal deficit is going to be approximately $500 billion this year. This is an insane number. $500,000,000,000. Where is all of the money going? The war in Iraq, you say? Well, yes, but what if that was just a cover and the cost of the war was padded? Could the government be siphoning money from itself to pay for some unknown to most, super secret project? The answer could be yes, and I know that the government does hide money for “regular” top secret projects. With all likelihood, there are probably weapons platforms orbiting Earth right now, posed as communications satellites. Well, if the government can do that, couldn’t they feed a giant project with the supposed cost of the war in Iraq?

Just a thought. Who knows what a possible project could be?
