"Don't touch my grapefruit"

To start off, I would like to say that I spent the last two hours creating a budget for myself. This was started by two things. First of all, my class spent three hours talking about living by a budget and saving. Secondly, after looking at my bank statements for the last several months, it's quite clear that I cannot live within my means by spending the amount that I spend. And just so you can get a glimpse at my spending habits... $300 for food in one month. You add in my $250 car payment, gas, phone, gym, etc. and you can do the math. I am going to be better. I intend to have everything including my car paid off by the end of 2011.

My next bit for this post is how much I do not like it when people say they are going to do something and never follow through. I follow through. They should do the same. I am sick of random texts that ignore questions and I am sick of "I'll call you later" and when it comes around to me seeing that person it's like, "how come you are always too busy? Why do you hate me?" If I did swear, I would right here. Don't be a flake and turn it back on me. I am not the culprit.

Third on my mind is that of jobs. I work 50 hour weeks and get paid for 25. I have recently started aggresively looking for a job and I think the task will be quite tedious. My reasoning? I can't actually find another job until my internship is over. I can't be done with my internship until I have completed 480 hours, which will put me at the end of May to beginning of June because I still have bills to pay. June is not a good time to start a job. College students come home looking for jobs in April. I'm screwed.

My fourth topic is that of my car. On Friday of last week, I hit a curb VERY VERY hard. In fact, it wasn't really even a curb. It was the minituare wall that attempts to stop idiots like me from turning onto that area. If Colin hadn't been there, I don't know what I would have done. What's more is the luckiness of just replacing my tires and paying for insurance. I own a subaru. Nobody told me that when you buy and all-wheel drive car, you fall under the "break one tire, pay for four" rule. My next vehicle will be a grey truck with four wheel drive. Grey trucks appeal to me recently for some reason. Needless to say, I can't afford to run into anything else.

All in all, this week has been a good one. I spent time with people who I actually enjoy and I got the chance to relax for a bit. Tomorrow is Rock the U and I say bring it on.
