So I created this journal so I could write about things I feel like talking about and that my friends are probably sick of hearing. Why did I decide to put it online? If my friends are sick of hearing me talk about the same thing over and over, maybe by posting it for the world to see, someone will come along who's not sick of it and give me all sorts of wonderful advice. Not that my friends aren't wonderful and give me good advice, but well, sometimes you just need to ramble. Plus I don't need to justify my actions, if you don't want to read my journal you don't have to be here.
Let me back up a bit. I'm going away this fall to Paris to finally finish school. I'm really excited. Right now it seems very close and very far away. At this point I'm basically obsessed with money. I am paying for this myself, noone has been saving 18+ years for me to do this. I've been saving money since last September when I decided I was going to go. I basically decided about a month before then, but it didn't really sink in for a few weeks that I was really truly going to do this and money doesn't grow on trees.
So now I'm living rent free (thanks mom & dad-that extra $700/month has made a HUGE difference in my savings!) and working two jobs, full and part time, to save money. I'm also taking a night class, as I have been for the previous 2 semesters. However since I have 1-2 days off a week depending on the hours of my part time job I'm looking for another part time job. It's hard to find something where I can work the few hours I'm available and make a decent amount of money. But I'm trying.
More on that to come. I'm working all day at my part time job tomorrow and will have plenty of time to write then. C'est un boulot peinard.
