Second verse, same as the first, a little bit louder a little bit worse
Yesterday I came to Hebrew class stressed about money because I got an e-mail from financial aid that said something to the extent of "You owe us lots of money. You should figure out why and take care of it soon because it's almost time to register." Not a huge deal because that happens to me pretty much every semester. I also got my credit card bills (I have two) which are usually no big deal because my highest bill ever was like $13.00, but I had to use the one to get my car fixed a few weeks ago. Still not a huge bill, but just another thing to add to the list. My dad wants me to start paying my car insurance, also not a huge deal because it's only $500 a year, but I only make $300 a month tops. Plus, I have to budget in my groceries because I'm only on a five meal plan, and gas which thankfully is not that much because I get amazing gas mileage. My pay check this week is like $60 less than normal because of break. I'm also trying to put money aside in savings every month also, and tithe, and have some left over for the occasional date with Steve. At this point all of this (except maybe the $500 to my dad) is doable on my budget I just can't spend any extra money. Well today in class, I was reminded of all of the things I need to take care of before graduation. I have to pay $291 to NCC to take that stupid geography course I need and couldn't fit in. Plus, I have three certification tests to take at $88 each, and finger-printing at $99. I found out today that I can get an ectra specialty certification to teach English in 5th and 6th grades in addition to 7th-12th which is awesome, but that means $100 total just to become certified (that's in addition to all the test and finger-printing). So that totals to $754 by the end of the year, and $379 of that ideally by the end of this semester. Plus $500 to my dad for insurance, and the hope of planning a wedding for this summer. So, to sum it all up, I'm about to cry because I can't afford to be alive anymore.
