Monetary Confinement
Can't buy me love. Money doesn't grow on trees. Time is Money. A Penny saved is a penny earned. Insert other economically or monetarily-minded statements here.
They say money can't buy happiness, but it might stave off depression....
Turns out I'm poor. Not "Pursuit of Happyness" poor or Charles Dickens novel poor, but on the verge of wondering how i'm going to pay for the next 4 months of living abroad. I figure I can swing the plane ticket home, and maybe pay for a few trips out every once in a while, but this whole 4 weeks on the Continent in April is looking a little sketchy.
Possible solutions? I've looked up plasma donation, medical testing, and that whole bit but it turns out there are a lot of stipulations. If all went according to plan, for just 15 overnight stays, a few hundred pricks of the needle and the possibility of cottonmouth, dryness, constipation, bleeding from the gums, fever, vomiting, shortness of breath (do i really need to continue?) I could make up to 3 thousand pounds over 3 months. That's 6,000 US Dollars. As in, more than I made all summer working two jobs... So I may look into it, despite the possibility of rendering me spermless or paralyzed.
Otherwise, a few jobs have caught my eye. Namely, Starbucks, some Cob Shop (sandwich place), a few telemarketing places, a couple of hotels, a catering company, and some waiting and bar tending jobs. Problems? UK work visa, not having a valid bank account, etc.
The search continues.
In other news, my final final is tomorrow at four over Islam, a mind boggling and truly frightening religion that i would just assume.... not insult for fear of retribution and annihilation.
Censorship aside, I'll be pleased to never read about or study it again.
Tomorrow: procrastination, job hunting, final rocking, celebrating, Grey's watching (gotta research for next semester....), running, and relaxing.
