I haven’t updated in a while, I know.
Here’s the scoop…
Alright, so there’s no scoop. I lied, but I had your best interests at heart when I began writing this post, honest. It’s just that so little happens to me that it’s hard to come up with meaningful things to write about. I know some have expressed potential interest in the mundane, but I feel bad subjecting people to excitement for a new post with a quick follow-up of disappointment when it turns out I only wrote about the thick layer of dust that currently covers a large portion of my desk (ew, I should wipe that up).
Well, I am still half-heartedly saving money for school. I have $3000 officially saved as cash in a savings account. I have another $3000 or so in 2 different market-based accounts. My goal is to have $8000 or greater saved before I leave which should be possible at my current income level. My biggest problem is going out to eat when I am working. I spend around $8 a day on that alone (x5 days a week, x4 weeks a month = ~$160, yikes!).
Speaking of saving money, I now have 1.5TB of external HDD storage, thank you very much. I filled the first 750GB drive up a few weeks ago. I wanted the same kind of HDD, but they are no longer being manufactured. Ebay to the rescue! I was able to find an exact specimen in BNIB condition, which I much preferred over the other offerings. After a shipping mixup I was a bit wary, but the seller came through with excellent communication and it was resolved within a few days.
What dysphoric details these are…
Let me bore you no further. For want of a decent blog post, I make my valediction.
Farewell.
On the note of the food though. When I skimp on food during a work day, I’m pretty miserable for the rest of the day… so $8 ain’t bad as far as the price of happiness goes.
