Alrighty. Yesterday ended up being a no-spend day because I skipped my afternoon class. Thus I ate dinner at home. I just needed the break, and it seemed silly to go and sit downtown all day for one class in the afternoon (my other I didn't have to go to because my prof is letting me take the test today). I did go to my nightclass, because I had a test, and I dont think I did as well as I usually do-- because it was a harder test, I didn't study nearly enough, and I couldn't concentrate. Ah well. I've never gotten anything below an A on one of his tests. I'm thinking maybe this one will be a B.

So that's 2 NSDs in April, maybe a 3rd today. I've got my 2 classes, the test I have to make up that I missed yesterday, and a psych club meeting. BF is supposed to be in PA today, so he may be swinging by downtown to pick up my keys before heading back to my apt. We'll be cooking dinner in tonight. We spent waaaayyy too much money eating out at restaurants last week. Though we did have a fabulous time.

I decided to pick up the $20 challenge once again. I'm going to deposit all my challenge money into my emigrant account, and use what I accumulate for a planned suprise trip with BF to China once he gets back form Iraq (week long). He really wants to go over and see it, and I've still yet to leave the country. sigh. I priced tickets. It seems we can get packages that start at $1700 a person, but I'd rather budget higher, so I'm saying $5000. Why not? haha. Jan 2010 is a long span of time to save... though I'm not entirely expecting to save the whole $5000. I figure if I shoot higher, though, I might strive to save more. So system stands thus: If I'm under budget, that money goes to the credit card. Any extra money coming in will be split down the middle-- half to the card, half to the challenge. I think once I have an income, though, I'm going to increase what I pay on my card monthly anyway, and factor that into my budget. If I have a NSD, a dollar goes into the challenge. If I work out, a dollar goes into the challenge. Wish me luck!

This week is going by quickly, but it seems like I'm not getting nearly enough done. My concentration was totally off yesterday-- been thinking about my brother a lot, but I realize there's not much I can do until I'm back there, and he's out of the hospital. Guess we'll wait it out. Ironically, we started going over schizophrenia in my abnormal psych class last night. Maybe learning more about it will help me know how to handle it best. We'll see, I guess.

That's all I've really got! I need to study for this test and pack my lunch so I can get to the bus on time and be prepared! Everyone have a great tuesday!
