Weekend To Do List

I don't keep a paper bound planner anymore, so I thought I'd write my weekend to do list on my poor and neglected blog.

1. Put up decorations in my room
2. Laundry
3. Study for my Anatomy Exam
4. Go to SI Hours
5. Do DQ #8 for Interpersonal Comm
6. Practice ASL
7. Print/Fill out Nutrition Study Guides

. . .and here come the big goals
8. Look through Grad School info sheets.
9. Organize when applications are open/due
10. Open my GRE book. . .and at least read the introduction to the GRE section
11. Write my 3 Day for the Cure Request Letter
12. Update my 3 Day for the Cure page

Letter Writing

So I am sitting with my stationary/card collection, writing snail mail. I was asked, by a friend, who I was writing to. I am writing to friends! Granted, I could just text them, email them, facebook them, or call them, but there is just a beauty in snail mail. It's beautiful. I feel that with snail mail, I write notes to friends to show them that I love and care for them.

Blogging. . .

and making money :) I'm blogging for my brother, Daniel Del Real and his business. Its exciting! :) yay baby paychecks!

Paycheck

I need a paycheck! I just looked at my bank accounts. . .my checking has less than the balances on my credit cars. (BofA Credit Card and a Victoria's Secret Credit Card).

Silly school fees and semi-annual sale.

I thankfully have one small paycheck to deposit (yay staffing open houses for money last weekend!) that will cover my credit card bills. But how am I going to survive during my visit to Texas in 25 days?!

I also just realized how much I spent last year. I thought I had saved quiet a bit from the money I earned at Heinz, but I didn't! (thank you w-2s for informing me on how much I made) I also thought I had saved some of my Southwestern tuition refund. . .only to find out that I didn't save much (Being a senior was expensive!)

I am seriously super frugal. . .how did I spend soo much money in 2010?! I wish I had continued logging my expenses last year on my excel spread sheet; I do know that over a span of three months (July to October) I spent nearly $500 on gas, $600 on school fees and textbooks, and $3,000 overall. wow.

Givesmehope

I really really really appreciate the givesmehope website! It is such an encouraging page that helps me smile even when I don't feel like smiling.

Space

A facebook "friend" (aka an acquaintance from high school) posted this on her profile a couple of minutes ago.

"If someone wants to be apart of your life, they'll make an effort to be in it. . .don't bother reserving a space in your heart for someone who dosen't make an effort to stay"

Unfortunately, I think I have "reserved a space" for friends who don't care about me. :/ I wish I could fill that space with someone else, but I can't :(

SOTU

"I might not come from a family of college graduates, but I will be the [one of the] first to get my degree. I might not know those people in trouble, but I think I can help them, and INEED to TRY!"
