Since my last entry I have been seriously looking into the costs of traveling to Japan. It's odd, usually when I have thoughts like this, I think about it for an hour or so and then just forget about it. This time though, I'm very serious about it.
This Saturday we were short staffed and work so I said I'd stay late and help out. I ended up staying over 2 hours. Amber and Sam bought me lunch the next day and afterward I felt kind of bad. I mostly stayed for the extra hours especially since we get paid more on the weekend. I would have helped out regardless of pay but I did feel greedy. Yesterday too, we were short staffed and I stayed another 2 hours. Everytime I see a chance to get a few more hours in, I'll probably see if I can.
I was originally going to only take out $20 a week from my paycheck and put it away in savings. However, I saw how expensive airfare and rooms are so then I bumped it up to $40. Now I'm thinking of taking out $60 a week. I want to have as much extra money in case something either goes wrong here while I'm saving up or if something goes wrong in Japan. I also want to pay for most of Ami's room and food since I'm kind of forcing this on her (not that she minds). I also don't think I'll get any of that money my dad was talking about in the previous entry, so I want to be able to go even without that money. If he does give me the money, even better, but I don't want to strictly rely on that promise. I also want to have a lot of spending money. I'd like to get to spend money freely there without worrying too much about budgeting.
This makes me a little envious of rich people. There was a story posted on Arama where this girl goes to Japan 4 times a year and here I am wanting to go and it will take me a year of saving before I can travel there.
I haven't really told anyone yet, only my sister. I figure it's too far off. Plus with all this stuff going on in Japan, it will only worry people.
I've been thinking of going through my room and finding things I can sell. I'm sure I can sell some of my otome games that I didn't like or something.
