Now before I even start on my newest rant, know that I am not angry or aggressive yet, just frustrated. Here are my reasons why:
1. I worked 3 jobs this summer and saved a ton of money so that I could pay for my housing and everything else I may need this year by myself. I am pretty stingy about my spending, and try to watch where my money is going but because of not being able to find a job in Logan, and because I have stupid extra payments (that'll come in point 2) my bank account is dwindling. I am still working at Bodean's on the weekends, because jobs in Logan that will work with my class schedule are nearly impossible to find. Ugh...I hate cheap people but it looks like I am about to have to turn into.
2. Stupid meal plan! Yes this is where most of my money is being wasted. I have to spend $800 a semester for 7 meals a week on campus. Guess what! I did the math and realized I am spending more money on the meal plan than I would be if I just bought a meal everyday with my own money. They're charging me like 40 cents more a day, but they are requiring a meal plan to live on campus because "college students don't eat appropriately and have a high anerexia rate". Ugh, so what don't take it out on those of us that obviously do eat.
I really don't want to have to take out student loans but it's looking like I'm going to have to because money doesn't exist for me. Can anyone tell me why I'd be excited for my tax return. I can list why! I worked four jobs within the space of the last year, one all year long, two all summer long, and one a few months. Of course, I won't get that until the spring time...ugh!

I think I mentioned this before, but I used to live in Logan. I emailed a friend that works there at the police department on campus to see if she knew of any jobs for students and this was her reply:
"We may be hiring another dispatcher after the beginning of the year. Their work schedule is nights/graves/weekends. If she is interested have her call me when she comes back after Christmas break. XXX-XXX-XXXX. Otherwise she can go online to the student job board and they have lots of jobs for students on there."
If you are interested email me and I'll get you her name and number.
Sorry that you are having to deal with money issues, it can be very stressful.
Just in case you were wondering, this is the blog that I usually post under and I wasn't sure if you'd recognize the other one.
Sorry about the stress! Money will cause that, just be patient it usually turns out good! A job or something will come your way.
Wow, you are an incredible individual, so strong. Also, you are an incredible writer, which is something that I have infinite respect for. As I read your blog I kept thinking about how often we see people... every day... but we know absolutely nothing about them. I ought to take the time to get to know the people in my classes. Thank you for sharing your blog with me!
