Nov. 15th, 2009 08:38 pmSo I've gone from "Oh god I need to find another job but I don't want to leave ECPI everything sucks ever" to "I can totally find another part time job and I won't have to leave ECPI this'll be easy". After doing some math I figured that even a 20hr/week, $8/hr something or other would be more than enough to cover my student loans. And then I could... afford health insurance. Get my own cell phone plan. Have more than fifty bucks a month for groceries. Why didn't I think of this sooner?
Of course I am still going to the bank Monday to see if I have any refinance options. Probably not, but it wouldn't hurt to check.
This will also work with the future apartment. As it is, it's unlikely that I'll be able to move in by the end of the year due to lots of extenuating circumstances. HOWEVER, if I land another job I won't be scraping by trying to cover rent when I do get to move. Also, now there is talk of trying to get a three bedroom apartment in April/May that would be larger and more expensive but would also be split between five people instead of three. And I'll still get a room to myself, score.
This weekend my mom and I were ~crafty~. We have this really old handmade Christmas advent calandar that my grandmother made years ago (if I was born by then I was probably just a baby). It's got a Christmas tree on it with little felt ornaments that you pin to the tree every day in December until the 24th. However as it's old as I am and we've used it every year, the ornaments were looking pretty sorry. We fixed it up a long time ago, replaced some missing ornaments, etc, but even those repairs were starting to look ratty. SO we got some beads, felt, stencils and sequins and replaced/fixed over half of the thing today. It looks really nice now! Hopefully it'll last a few more decades.
( Almost everything I drew this week was stupid TF2 crap )
