Hmm. Shouldn't Christmas Break be an enjoyable recess from all the shit you've got to worry about? Time to spend with your family, time to ignore school, time to relax.
Well. Not for me. No. My mother works for the school district. You know what that means? That means she's home all through the break to make my life a living hell. I'd rather go to school.
I, stupidly, let slip that I took time off from work during the break. It's my senior year. It's my last chance to fuck around during my break before having to accept all the adult responsibilities that are going to come with college life. I'm very good at managing my money. I have a set amount that I take out of the bank every time for gas and spending and I usually don't even use all of that. I only take out $40, max, every two weeks. $20 usually goes to gas. Which leaves $20 for me to spend over two weeks. Usually, I have leftovers. I only opened a bank account two months ago and I've got nearly a thousand dollars in it.
I have new expenses, what with shareboarding Legacy now. $125 a month. It's not a problem. I make at least $125 each paycheck. Which means, each month, at least another $125 is going into my bank account. I'm in no hurry to save. I've still got six months till I graduate and that leaves all summer for me to work my ass off and save even more money for college. I was going to offer to pay for my room and board for freshman year. It's about a thousand and I've got that in my bank account already.
Now every time I try to relax over break I'm going to have to endure snide commentary about how I could be using my time better. Fuck that. I'm tired. I want a break from everything, including this stupid house.
Anyone want to adopt an extra child for the holidays?
