I know I worked hard enough to be here, and I'm smart enough to be here, so by all merits and logic I know I 'deserve' it. but... every time Marie wants to go shopping for the dorm, and I have to say "You get what you want; there's nothing I need," and we both know it means "there's nothing I can afford"... I don't mind saying it, but sometimes I catch pity in her "yeah, okay" and that just beginning to wear me down a little, I guess.
