it's getting serious now

This really frightens me. I never thought I was one to get scared about graduating and the future, but seeing a final date is freaking me out. As much as I hate school, the idea of not being there anymore is pretty unsettling. It's such a nice safety blanket. You can do whatever you want because you're still just a student. Well... not for long.

I'm getting a bit ahead of myself though. March 2009. Imagine if I was actually graduating in a few weeks (which, my mom is so kind to remind me of, I should be if I had stuck to the plan). I have a lot of mom-related school issues atm, but let's not get into that today.

she works hard for the money

I opened a bank account today. Before this I kept all my cash in a few red envelopes in a drawer in my room. I think at one point I accumulated around $1500 in there. Not too safe.

Anyways, now that I have a debit card, my money doesn't feel real anymore. I find it easier to control my spending with cash because I can physically see how much I have left. Now it's all gone! OK, well, actually I only put half of my cash in the bank. There is still a drawer full of cash in my room. Baby steps!
