So, this morning i put on my goggles and my fingerless gloves and leather jacket so i could get on the internet like a 1980's movie hacker, and i get that nasty windows XP bluescreen which signifies that once again my laptop was programmed in roman numerals and was designed to operate with the attached water-mill.
I booted it again, and everything turned out fine, but this has me understandably nervous. I'd been putting it off, but i'm getting my first paycheck about a week from today so it looks like I need to rustle up a budget, so i know how much about I'll be saving each month.
Things I mos' def need to save up for:
*Plane Tickets Home
*Credit Card Debt
*Rent
Things I might need to save up for:
*Entropy-related computer mishaps
*Utilities Buffer Zone, depending on how the CAC plans to pay my 'lectric bill
*One of those cool boxy Russian cars that probably uses the Flinstone theory of locomotion
*Week long Vacation of some kind
*Another musical instrument for when I randomly decide to take up disco violin
*A little sack of big bills and my passport hidden in a wall safe behind the Georgian flag over the mantle
Things I should not save for:
*An AK-47
*Bullets
*Enough Cocaine to make Freud blush
I guess this means a little less going to the cafe and a little more taking up private students. Armed as I am with official intermediate to pre-advanced textbooks, care of my employment, I should be able to swing 15-20 dollar an hour lessons. It's just a matter of convincing my extremely successful and busy Georgian friends to help me put an ad in the local. I can't wait to see what things are like when the Fulbrighters get their next check and all of the sudden have vast sums of wealth again. Hell, maybe THEY'LL buy me a laptop!
