Fun Times
I've spent the last couple of days on the road, since I had to work second shift Friday and first shift Saturday (and it's an hour drive from Denton to work), so I stayed Friday night at Scott's place which is a little closer. Luckily, my boss is letting me skew my hours a bit so that I can leave at 10 instead of 11 on Fridays so I get home that hour earlier.

Financial Aid check has already hit my bank account, so I've given Rach half to cover my portion of the rent for the next five months. I feel a little stupid since she wanted to move out of the house and not renew the lease, just find somewhere else to rent a room from someone, and my convincing her to stay there has cost me about 4.5k...but oh well. I guess I'll know better next time.

Finances are good. After giving Rach half, I'll have something like 2.2k plus the 2.5k I'll be making while at work keeps me pretty well supplied and gives me around a 1k cushion at the end of December to float with until aid hits for January. There were a few mistakes, like there's two extra paychecks in there so I'll have some more money than that. (This takes into account big one time stuff like car repairs, insurance for the next six months, text books, and putting some money back on my card to take care of the legal fees coming up.)

I'm going to keep working at Wilco, despite the driving annoyance, until I find some sort of internship that I can parlay into experience for a better job after graduating. I'll do that even if I have to take a pay hit in the process!

I'm expecting a minimum 30k in salary with my Bachelor's degree. With that kind of money while splitting a place, I can afford to go to college on my own pay! No more taking out student loans!

Tired. Need to get to work. More tonight after I get more from Rach's place.
