Well, apparently they're taking my direct debit payment this month and not last month like I previously thought.

God, but I hope these jobs come through. Please, God. I'm so poor it's not funny. If one more person says "Oh, your Mum and Dad will bail you out!" then I will hurt someone. They would like to bail me out, but they can't.

So, outgoing Stuff To Pay:

1. Direct debit for tuition fees

2. Car bill to parents

3. DanceSoc membership (also: ballet shoes)

4. Cambridge May Ball ticket

Also I am going to Cambridge tomorrow and that is expensive. *fret*

Thank you sweet, sweet God of overdraft. I really, really hope the job stuff comes through. I have my Ultimate Emergency Savings that I'd really rather not touch just yet (just about enough to cover one installment of tuition fees) but other than that I'm a bit fucked, really.

However. Ballet was fun! Also shockingly easy - the first actual beginners class. I can still do jete and glissades and stuff with funny accents over them that I can't pronounce properly! This was a good thing. And I am going to Cambridge tomorrow. This is a good thing.

However, I have yet to finish my reading let alone a fucking book report (so... bitter...) for tomorrow so life does not get good just yet. Although last night Kim and I had Ben and Jerrys whilst sat in my room, hiding from the sex going on throughout the house.

Also Katie possibly has mumps. It is all go in the house.

Blargh. I am sleepy but need to do my reading and make a shoddy book report. Curses! I was going to have a work ethic this semester!

In other news, I hacked my sisters MySpace profile. I won't give a link, but I will bring this picture:

My sister is an emo-kid. It's scary. Also she looks about 17. This is WRONG.

Good luck on the job front!

The mumps thing scares me since I've never had any form of injection against it in my life...is it true it's going around the town at the moment? Hope your friend's ok.

Random aside, but your icon makes me happy.

And mumps seems to go around uni student like woah XD, I had a housemate with it last year. Was funny watching everyone panic, albeit not as much as they did with the first year girl whose prolonged flu turned out to be glandular fever :X

[ex-spockette108.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's definitely going around St. Andrews. Pretty much everyone got an email saying that there had been an outbreak of mumps, and that if you hadn't had the MMR vaccination and a booster shot, you need to go to the health centre and make an appointment to get a vaccination.

[shoe--gal.livejournal.com]

Hmmm, I never got that email... I remember a similar one last year, although I never did anything about it. I have issues with the MMR jab after seeing what it did to my little sister, so I guess I'll just have to take my chances...

[hathy-col.livejournal.com]

It is indeed going around all people of roughly the uni age grou[p, but they limited supplies of the vaccine in the health centre.

Um, it's partially my fault. The mumps episdemic, um, started at my college, I think. Then it spread. A lot. I never got it though because I am super-imunised. w00t!

yeah but I was vacinated & I swear I caught some sort of strain off nick

*cuddles with regards to the monies*

I haven't been out of my overdraft since first year uni :). There's no shame in it. Atm I'm trying to decide if I'd rather finish this year back in the black (for all of two seconds before my uni costs whack me in the face), or with hot water at home after paying to fix the boiler. Washing with a bucket makes such a mess XD, and isn't exactly dignified. Especially if you're doing it in the kitchen and trying to figure how to wash without the neighbours perving in through the oversized windows XD XD.

If I ever attempted ballet, btw, the results would be HILARIOUS. I am huge, clumsy, and have size 8 feet. They'd see me coming in and flee for safety XD.

Ballet is good fun. Oh, the memories...

I just like fiscal security and overdraft does not equal that for me.

[emerald-embers.livejournal.com]

Hehe, everything I know about fiscal security I've learnt from my mum... namely, that people like us lack it ^_-. Lower middle class with only one working member (well, until I got this job at Aintree), so we're basically analled by everything that happens XD. I don't think we've been out of debt since...

Er...

Since...

And that would be why I don't mind my overdraft ^_-. I just think of it as a free loan from the bank, which it essentially is so long as it remains at 0% interest.

Mentally, I am stuck in either the 1600s or the 1980s. I don't think I'm quite as bad in debt as, say, Phillip II of Spain but all I can think of is te 1980s and never geting out of debt and being stuck like that and pssing on my debts and ohit'sallaspiral.

Apply for a hardship fund. You need to be able to eat. It's what it's there for xxx
