I found a pair of shoes - nice, leather, comfortable, should-last-me-several-years shoes, shoes that normally would have cost at least 20 dollars - for 3 bucks! Wohoo! And they're even spiffy looking! This makes Maren happy. :)
Was also able to buy deodorant, another phone card, and 20 bucks worth of gas all thanks to $500 financial aid change check that I got in the mail yesterday! YAY! Otherwise I would still be deodorant-less (oh the horror!), new shoes-less (which probably wouldn't have been a problem for a few more weeks, at least. Only reason I got new shoes is the tread was starting to ware out on the old ones), phone card-less (which also probably wouldn't have been a big deal except for the fact that I would have to limit what few conversations I had on my cell phone to 20 minutes at the most) and more then likely gas-less seeing as I had all of three bucks on me before my little visit to the bank, and that would not be a good thing. But, because of my lovely lovely financial aid check, I now have all those things! YAY!
In other news, work was dead. There were three lifeguards and no patrons in the pool most of the time. I spent two of the two and a half hours standing around in the office area talking to the other lifeguards, with a little cleaning here and there. All in all, not a bad way to make 15 bucks (covering two and a half hours... yeah, we so don't get paid enough).
