I Need To Taste Your Blasphemy

Jessica and I got pulled into Test America and did these gay ass surveys. I only got $5 for it and wasted like 30 minutes of my life. Couldn't find the one in Fashion Show. I hope it's still there.

Jessica got me H&M and Best Buy gift cards for Christmas, so I put the H&M one to use today. Kind of funny how I didn't even want anything but got forced to try things on to pass time. Worked out in the end.

I saw Jila for like a minute. She handed me a bag of alcohol and found out she was leaving back to Canada tonight.

Okay, so I finally figured out what I'm going to do this year. I'm going to make a monthly budget of $200 for myself.

I think last spring when Wayne was here, he told me his budget was $100 and I didn't believe he could do it. But I forgot, he's the most cheapest person you'll ever meet. So he's been pulling it off and actually has leftover cash in the end.

I figure with about $100 of it will just be going to gas since school and work is kind of far from where I live. I usually get gas about once a week but since I reduced going to school down to 3 days instead of 5, it might not be as bad as last semester.

Then I've also decided to finally start paying my mom $50 for car insurance to help out. If I made more money, I'd definitely give her more, especially to cover from the last bill. I know I'll be paying for books soon, so it's going to be hard paying off the credit card and etc. with this budget, but I'll manage it somehow. I don't really shop and pretty much Christmas kicked my ass, so I'm done spending. I just need to learn not to spend all my money on food. So I figure my last $50 will go to miscellaneous things, but hopefully it'll be leftover money in the end.

The budget seems high but hopefully I don't even need that much as a budget and it'll go lower soon after I test it out.

I'm contemplating on whether if I have leftover cash, should I just put it on the side without really knowing how much I saved and use for later or just disregard the idea and restart $200 every month. I figure I could put the leftover money into the savings so it can collect some pennies for interest.

Oh managing money is going to be interesting.

I hope I get in with Victora Secret. 1 day a week at Hollister is some bullshit on their part and getting paid less than a $100 every 2 weeks from them is even more bullshit.

I was proud that I barely spent anything today until I got to Wal-Mart. I swear, everytime I go to Wal-Mart or Target, I have to spend over 50 bucks on a whole bunch of things for home. Gay.
