Well, crap.
I went to the campus Bookstore today. Blarg. I thought I'd only be spending another $100, maybe $200 on books. I mean, I can swing that. It'll be tight until I get word from Staples, Zellers, or the Lucky, or Nipwork or something, but Mike's going to give me some work next week, so all should have been well!
I was wrong.
My Learning Text: $116
My Psych of Ed. Test: $104
My Philosophy Course Pack: Not yet available (print plus is swamped), but it can't be less than $35
The Wadsworth Anthology of Drama: $110
Le Morte Darthur, Pilgrim's Progress, Castle of Otranto, Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring: All not yet available, but allow me to guess: $25, $20, $20, $20
Totaling at least: $450. At LEAST. Ow.
I bought 2 of the books I needed today, which is why they're not included in the total above: Sir Gawain and Symposium. They're thin, probably not difficult reads, but I still spent about $35. And I'm going to Allisons tomorrow to see if I can still get the Tempest for a dollar.
So, yeah. I'm poor, looking to get poor-er. At least I've got prospects...
The Lucky is going self-serve, but the resteraunt will be opening for Breakfast, so weekends will be busier, and I told them I can work weekends, fridays and thursday mornings. So hopefully something will come of that, But Julie 2 said I probably won't hear back for 2 weeks. Staples told me that if I don't hear by this time next week, to come in and see what the deal is, and Zellers said I should hear within a week, as they are hiring. And I should see something from Nipwork soon, because the closing date for most jobs is Sept 16. But, if all else fails, Mike has already said that I can do nit-picky cleaning jobs here and there, and he'll put me on any show I want. Which is a total Bonus. There's nothing coming in until the end of September though, which kinda sucks, but it will give me christmas cash.
I've finished Harry Potter, which I liked muchly, and am now onto Little Women. I think I'm looking at a longer version than what was in the book store, but that's ok. The content should be the same. Should be... It's actually not a bad read. I've already gotten a good chunk read, and I'll have tomorrow to get more done before people start moving back up. So, I'm not exactly where I want to be, but I'm doing well, concidering that I haven't read anything from start to finish (except Nora Roberts), since... last year? Something like that.
I kinda stopped stretching, and I think I need to start up again. I haven't been sleeping well, and I keep getting cramps in my legs, and in my side if I walk too fast. I'm not sure how much I like that, or how much of a difference the stretching was actually making. And, I've kinda pigged out the last couple days, so those extra pounds are starting to creep back on, which I"m not terribly thrilled with.
Anyways, I bought more hangers, so I should start hanging up the last of my clothes. And the washer and dryer are coming today, so Mike and his dad are downstairs arguing over property values and insurance.
I'm going to make myself scarce...
