Breaking. Breaking. Broke. 1 June, 2008

So far this summer, it’s been absolutely fantastic. I have tons of free time, the weather is beautiful, I’m living on my own, and I’m slowly getting my MCAT studying in order. I’m almost out of money, though! I haven’t had a job since April, and it’s really starting to hurt my bank account to provide myself with food day-to-day. Fortunately, once I get back from Bonnaroo, I have a job to come back to that pays $8/hr (not too shabby). Unfortunately, it’s not until after I get BACK from Bonnaroo, which is going to be my largest money-sap this summer. Gas to Tennessee alone is going to cost each of us $60 alone. Once we get there, we’ll need ice every once in a while (once a day, I think should do), food so we don’t have to travel back to the camp to get it, and band/’roo merchandise! Completely random, but I should probably use some of my tanning packages before going to Bonnaroo so I don’t get the shit burnt out of me!

In the meantime, I at least have training this upcoming week, so I certainly won’t be (as) bored. Still need to take my broken Rock Band guitar to the UPS store and get that the hell out of here. I’m pretty sure EA puts a $125 hold on my checking account until they receive it, so I should really get on that…

On that note, where the hell is my Macbook Pro!? I’m gonna bust a cap in Apple after all this BS they’ve put me through. After my experiences with them, I wouldn’t be surprised if they were trying to fix my old one and pawn it off to me as brand new. Whatever, I would totally make it a lawsuit at that point.

Back to the topic of lacking money, though: Even after I start working, I don’t have too much money to look forward to. There’s a total of 114 shifts between all of us working for this summer, which equates out to about 9 shifts a person for the entire summer. Not too much money. I can’t really apply for another job, though, because come August my other two jobs start up again. Companies really don’t want to hire someone that’s going to disappear when the fall semester rolls around. I don’t necessarily need to tell them that during an interview, but I personally don’t believe in lying to an employer like that. I’ll have to figure something out soon!
