uh-oh

Final countdown has begun:

1 more day of regular classes

5 days of final exams/grading - student half-days hallelujah

2 more teacher days

Last day of work: June 22nd

Then... uh. Crap. I really don't know yet... hopefully two weeks of vacation, culminating with a weekend trip back to Lancaster to visit the old haunts (and shop the Amish stores, omg). Then hopefully some tutoring for the summer while I get my resume sent around out West. Yes, West with a capital 'W'. If I wait much longer, I won't have the money to go. Had I known that student loans really do try to suck the life out of you... hokey toot.

So anyway, one may wonder how someone who makes $200/day can be so darn broke: TAXES

Coupled with the student loans and the little I'm saving for the car/rent/health insurance, I've got nothing. Uncle Sam is taking approx. $600 per paycheck.

When I move out West, I am so going to have to live off of my own garden and just buy food for the winter. Teachers get paid very little out there ($20K/year), so food is going to have to come from somewhere else.

Now I wish I liked more vegetables. Rats.

Alrighta - have to stop rambling.
