I don't have internet and so I'm having to spend about $5 at Starbucks to use their internet. It doesn't actually cost anything but I feel like I need to buy something or they may kick me out. At any rate, it's pretty clear thanks partly to this I will not be able to save $880 to pay for my school apartment this summer. That and the fact work isn't giving me many hours. I will work four hours next week. When I was still in school my average was sixteen hours a week!
I bought my ticket to China and I leave at noon on August 21st. I get back and go to Atlanta on December 16th. That's five days away from being in China for four months. Ok, Mom bought the ticket. There's no way I had money with this work schedule. And my spontaneous spending. The experiment has failed- I can't work in retail and not spend money.
In other news I'm compensating for my income by walking my aunt's dogs. That helps a little bit.
Other than that nothing is really happening. I haven't seen my Chinese teacher in probably a month so my Chinese skills are low but I'm back to knitting! I'm knitting up a ton of stuff for myself and others. So far I'm knitting a hat for my sister that I promised her I'd give her for her birthday. This year I think but it's going to be a this Christmas gift. Eh, she at least this way she can wear it as soon as she gets it. She lives in Atlanta and her birthday is in March so it would really have been no use to her then.
Anyway, it is ridiculously cold in this Starbucks and I'm definitely dressed for a hot summer day so I think I'm going to fly.
Note to self: Look into VPNs and which are best for China.
