Friday Five: Money
1. How much money is in your wallet right now? Pragmatically, $3. I have my emergency cash, but I don't spend that because, obviously, it's for emergencies. I'm not making any money, and it's not like I have anywhere to spend money anyway, so I haven't needed to get more cash.
2. How much money would you need in the bank to feel secure? Rich? Security would take quite a lot of money, but only because of school. I'd have to be able to pay off my school loans and still have enough for the rest of college and related expenses. I'd also need enough to keep living the way I do. I don't spend much money, but I like being able to buy things when I want them.
3. If someone gave you $100, no strings attached, what would you do with it? Put it in the bank with the rest of my past-jobs-and-graduation-gifts stockpile. If it was cash, I'd tuck it away to spend in lieu of withdrawing from my account.
4. If someone gave you $1 Million, no strings attached, what would you do with it? Also put it in the bank, but not to spend -- to pay for school. Paying for school has been on my mind a lot lately.
5. How much does something have to cost before it starts counting as "real" money, as a purchase to be considered and evaluated, but below which you'll buy without really thinking about it? Honestly, between $15-20. That's somewhere just above CDs and below DVDs. Clothes don't count. I don't buy a lot of clothes at all, so all clothes get considered. I'm cheap, and I'm not working, so that's actually an asset right now.
I have not been in a good mood lately. I feel like I've lost purpose. Who'd hire me for seven weeks? I truly think I'd feel better if I had to go to school on Monday. At least I'd have a reason to get out of bed.
I've fallen again into that horrible place where I feel sorry for myself. I have no reason to feel sorry for myself. I don't have to get up early and work all day, though I would. I have time to do things I had to put off all semester, but they're not making me happy. HBP comes out in a week, and not even that is helping.
I don't have anything from the past week to recount. If I keep writing, I'll only feel sorrier for myself, and that's unacceptable.
And please, don't feel sorry for me. I'll get over it. I always do.
