Mid month report

In the last 15 days I've increased my bank account by 737 dollars. Weee! That's taking the amount in my combined accounts on the 1st of October and subtracting that from the amount today. That's not too bad. I still have two more checks coming in this month as well.

The other side of this is that I told my mom that I'm not going to need any money next month. The money I got for milage on my car should go towards at least next month's living expenses. So I don't get to keep ALL of that. But even if 300 or so goes towards living expenses next month... that still leaves me with 437 dollars + whatever I get next pay period.

This is actual money in the bank, not estimated earnings either! Weeee! I wish this would keep up, but I know it won't. If I could bring home 800 a month I'd easily have enough to live on by the time I'd leave for Sweden! Enough for the whole year at like 900 USD per month.

If wishes were fishes the ocean would not be large enough! *laugh* But it's still kinda nice to think about.

I'm also probably going to be doing a day of work at the election tables in November. I believe that pays something like 60-80 dollars for the day. It means missing a day of school and work, but I've always enjoyed working elections. I sure miss a lot of school, but I think maybe part of being a senior is working on the transition from school to work. Pure work would almost be a break at this point, because when I come home at the end of the day, I wouldn't have to start doing schoolwork for several hours. My time would be mine. I'm kinda looking forward to this next year. Knowing me though I'll end up in some sort of class or another, probably Swedish.
