It's Just a Matter of Time.

So another day swings by and work steeps over at the 2:30 mark, successfully "ending" my free time at around 1:30, including time to get ready.


My boss said she'll start me off with only 15 hours a week when school starts; I'll be able to adjust everything from there.

Monday, Wednesday, and Friday will be the days I have school starting on September 20th, with my earliest class starting at 8.  Because it's about an hour drive, I'll probably leave the house an hour and a half earlier, at 6:30, which would mean half an hour to get ready which would mean I'd have to be awake at 6.  Oh, good old High School days.

So reasonably, 15 hours a week means about 2 whole shifts.  So my schedule would look something like...

Monday      - School
Tuesday      - Work
Wednesday - School
Thursday     - Work
Friday         - School

Sat/Sun - Homework / Leisure

Typically of course, I'll probably have work over the weekend if not the weekdays, so we shall see what kind of work schedule Fro Yo puts me on.  I hear college homework take A LOT of time, so I will most likely be spending the mornings before work on homework.  Interesting.

30 hours every 2 weeks would mean $240 every paycheck; $480 every month excluding the amount the government will take from me. 

If I have $2,000 in the bank now, and I hope to buy a Macbook Pro 17inch and a Canon 5D Mark II in 6 months...by March...I would make roughly $2,880 from now until March if I were to save every penny from my paycheck.

If Anna pays me back my $500 over the span of these 6 months I should have about

$5,300 to spend on the two items.

Hopefully a Canon 5D Mark III will come out during the time; causing the Mark II to drop in price and saving me more money.  I think I'm going to rule out buying the items directly from their manufacturers (I've considered the additional taxing cost and calculated that I would be paying at least an extra $400 for the damn camera; damn government);  And so, I'm probably going to be checking craigslist every week to see what sales are going on where.


I'm just going to have to make wise decisions from here on out, and hopefully commit myself to enough research time to determine exactly what will best fit what I'm looking for.

 I know I can do this.
