Talk about some small good luck. Yesterday I paid out $380 for new brakes on my car. Granted, having 10% of my brakes isn't necessarily a good thing, so it was definitely worth shelling out the cash. But it kinda sucked putting out that much cash since I was at my $800 mark for June's "rent". So it sets me back roughly $400. Okay, so I get the mail today and what should be there but my tax return! yippies!! So even though the tax return is only $305, it's still better than nothing right? And that means I only have to make up for about $75 instead of the $380. So...I'm all good. I've got roughly $1200 in the bank, not counting the $500 in "emergency" funds that my mother is keeping for me. Not counting the $140 I lent to Ben...and the $50 I lent to Dannaca...but I doubt I'll be getting those back. I'm glad that I agreed to do this three-month trial run rent thing with my parents. Not only does it show me that I am kinda cutting it close when it comes to costs, but it gives me that $2400 cushion to stick in the bank...3 months at $800...3 x 800 = 2400...nice...I don't think I've ever had more than $500 in the bank before this year. 2004...what a nice year. I need to save to vacation to New York in the winter...that'd be so fun... Or over New Year's...it's been awhile since I had a fun New Year's...although, I'd rather not spend it alone. hrm...I could always bug Tim and tell him to come take me touristing... *grins*
Or I could really save and go to Hawai'i next summer...how I've missed the islands...I swear to god my parents spoiled us...how many people out there can actually say they've been to Hawai'i...6 times...before they turned 21? Me!! Okay so yes I'm bragging...but anyway...I do need to take a vacation. Winter'd be perfect...New Year's is good money at El Tor though...*sigh* what to do what to do...*giggles* it's not even June yet and I'm thinking about New Year's...how sad am I. But...I seem to be somewhat happy...maybe it's because I'm finally free. No more school. I'm seriously debating whether I'm going to go back or not...
I have time to think about that though
I have
All the time
In the world
Well...not really. But I feel confident to make of it what I want...a confidence that I haven't felt in a while. I think school suppresses me, depresses me...although, that guy Aaron in my voice class was kind of a clown...and slightly adorable...*drifts off...* *slaps self* anyway...
So yeah...I had my voice final today. It went...rather well actually. I kinda got my sound the way I wanted it, while still getting it the way she wanted it. It was slightly breathy though, so I'll have to be careful about that. But it definitely went much better than last week...and somehow I now feel...refreshed.
Is it all in my mind though?
Or am I just another
