mo$$, less problems

Strapped for cash. That's what I am. 

Tightening my belt. That's what I'm doing. 

Damn. What a difference 2 students, 4 classes, 8 hours can make. 

Still though, for someone who makes as much as I do, it's sad how poor I feel. Damn financial responsibilities and living standards. If I didn't mind living in a shithole outside of Taipei City and if I didn't have a mother to support and if I didn't take any classes and if I didn't have a social life, I'd be great! But well, I do and I do and I do and I do. I love living in the city in my neighborhood. My mom is no longer working and therefore I have to take care of her. Dance and capoeira are part of what make life worth living, so I can't give that up. And damnit, I gotta go out and kick it with my friends. I don't want to be a hermit!

So for now that means...

No shopping. Le sigh... 

Eating cheaply. Le sigh... 

Cheap/free entertainment. Le sigh... 

No cabs. Le sigh... 

No facials. Le sigh...

No massages. Le sigh...

No indulging myself. Le sigh...

No vacations. Le sigh sigh sigh... 

I need another source of income. Sell things online? But what? Be a NuSkin distributor? They're so annoying though. I don't know... I'm open to suggestions. Le sigh. 

Anyone?

EDIT: I got a student back. Woo! That makes me 11200NT richer a month! Hooray for schedule changes!
