Money = Madness

So today I was doing a little personal accounting, and found out that I need to make an extra 702 dollars in order to pay for next semester's balance. Booooooooooo...

I apply for at least two jobs every day--I'm still holding back on the food-business, though... been there, done that.

I am also trying really really really really extremely hard to make straight A's this semester and the next in order to bring my GPA up. I'm at a 3.158 right now, so if I get above a 3.5, I can qualify for an additional $1,000 in financial aid next year. If I achieve a 4.0, I could probably get even more, but I doubt I could ever become a hermit and study as much as that would entail.... probably equivalent to the amount of time I spend watching hockey every year. *shudders*

So if I get a job this school year, it's going to be tough:

1) I have six classes
2) I have work - study
3) I would need to take time off for every holiday, as I am not allowed to be on campus
4) I would need to work 2nd or 3rd shifts

I try not to let the situation stress me out... but I can't just sit back and watch things go in the wrong direction, either. I'm a fixer, by nature.

you could try selling all of your bodily fluids,....eg. blood, plamsa, sperm, urine(one man's trash is another man's treasure). just an idea
