Ugh, I'm tired of all the anxious posts about job hunting and waiting around. Que sera, sera. No need for me to stress... so much.

Anyway, I realized that the IRS has deposited my stimulus check and so now I feel slightly more optimistic about the future. I also get paid this week. So now I have officially begun to allocate money to my "carpartment" fund. I feel happy. ^_^ Mostly because I am finally doing something tangible to reach my goal. I'm so happy that I don't have any expenses right now. Usually at the end of term I have so much to mail home but this year, nada. So now I can just save save save.

I looked at the expenses list for senior week and graduation, I'm super happy I decided not to attend. The prices are ridiculous!

I signed up for extra hours at my student job before I leave next week to make that much more money. I figure by the time I return home I'll have 1 month of rent saved. That means I'll be a third of the way to my goal. That's makes me feel so good. Hopefully,my employment plans will be set by the week of the 19th so I can come up with the second third of the money by the end of June.

Supposedly my parents will give me some cash for graduation/b-day. I'm positive it won't be a lot but whatever it is, it will go directly into the fund. I'm also positive that I'll receive it sometime around July. It sucks because I can't let them know that I am saving money for a car or to move out, otherwise they'll never give it to me. (Their reasoning: what's the point if you won't spend it? It's too exhausting too argue with them so I have to make sure I pretend like I am saving for something trivial like an electronic - a new ipod or something.)

I'm still debating on which to go for first, the car or the apartment. Right now I'm leaning towards the car because it would make life that much easier. But for now, I'll just worry about saving the money. When I have it, I can make plans.
