Doc-sec

Green! It's officially spring! And it's supposed to get up to 70 today
I believe? It's weird to think just a few weeks ago we were all wearing
our winter coats still-some people wore them last week even...but I'm
not a pansy so I just wore a hoodie :P It's only 10:49 and I'm quite
tired already lol-so I'm going to shove my face with some food and hope
that boosts my energy levels exponentially. So far, it's working.

I woke up hella early today to begin what I hope to be a regular morning
habit-the gym. I hit it hard this morning at 5am-and then got to work
not only on time, but early! Unfortunately the lady who likes to cause
WWIII when I'm a few minutes late (even if I park all the way in
freakin' Albania), wasn't here this morning-apparently she won't be here
all week. Praise be.

I've got a lot done already actually. Even some studying as well-as I
start two new courses today. Both are requirements-lame. However I did
study some Korean, and Music Theory today. Mostly Korean-and then I'll
be studying theory throughout the day. I wish I could type in Hangul as
I can on my phone, however this computer isn't internationally enabled
or something lame like that. I asked once->shot down.

There is no easy way to eat Raisin Bran (TWO SCOOPS!) with just your
hands and no liquid. My hands are getting all this crap from the bran
and raisins and then mixing that with some saliva from forcing the
handful into my mouth=sticky mess. Ever since I was a child I've hated
that sensation; stickiness. Gross.

This past week was a good one, although very tumultuous. Celebrated St.
Patrick's day with some friends, and some people who will no longer by
my friends haha. Long story short; girl I liked for seemingly forever
dates a friend of mine's older brother-I find out from a different
friend-they all talk about it at the party->bada bing bada boom forget
about her. DONE! End of story. I wasn't even sure it was worth
mentioning as I seem to be quite fine as of now. Nothing my close
friends and some singing and dancing to a CD miks couldn't remedy. This
week also brought upon the changing of my mindset on how I spend money.
Not quite the saver, I seem to spend like it's no one's business. After
seeing the exact figures of exactly how much I've made versus how much
I've spent, I am quite shocked and disappointed in myself. No
worries-no debts, just WOW how did I blow through that much money
without a bunch of fancy things to show for it?! SO-starting now, I
will pay cash only (no more debit card-that's the only plastic I have
thankfully), and limit said cash to $150 a month. I guess I'll use the
AT&T (gross) rollover method for this budget, as it'll maybe help me
learn to save? Is 21 too old to teach a dog a new trick? Anyway-we'll
find out haha. I was originally going to assign $50 for entertainment,
groceries, dining-out, each. However I think a general pool of the
total sum of what that would be may help and potentially be even better.
I feel it wouldn't be a drastic or "cold turkey" as the other method
would be-I'm just limiting what I do right now in general. So this
means; eating out less, less clothing expenditures, no more leisure
shopping-for now, and whatever else seems to be draining my income. How
often do you think a good budgeted splurge would be for a nice "reward?"


Any and all advice on any matters mentioned would be much appreciated,
hope all is well with you all;
Silver
