Deeeelemma.

I have approximately 7 more weeks left until I am finished grad school. Eek, I just scared myself by typing that sentence...

Since I am almost done, it makes sense that I am nearing the end of the money pot. And by nearing the end, I mean scraping the bottom.

Here's my dilemma: I have $755 to last me May 11 - June 25. I don't mean to sound like a spoiled brat, but IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE?! Ladies. That's like ~$16 per day. Going to Blockbuster alone costs me $16 (candy, movie, late fees, flavoured water drink, obviously). I'm not freaking out, I'm just a tad concerned. Now I have to be Budget Betty, who is - lets face it - a wet blanket. I would rather work 3 jobs than be BB. She's no fun. And for the past 2 years, at any given point, I have had 2-3 part-time jobs on the go. But with this thesis, I don't really have time. Actually, sorry, that's a lame excuse. I am choosing not to work because I want to focus all of my time and effort on my thesis. I hate the "I have no time" excuse.

So, can I do it? Well, we all know what's first to be cut. It pains me to say this, but it's going to have to be sushi dinners. Ughhhhhhh. Up next? Frivolous spending at Shoppers. Do-able,  but tragic. And next? Entertainment. Except, cheap Tuesday movies obviously count.

I will let you guys know how this all pans out. If you see me working at Timmy Hortonos, you will know I've run out of money (I'm not too good for Timmy Hortonos, I could do that...).

Happy WedNESday
