A Merry Christmas, no more. I support myself and my sister supports herself. Financial aid offers enough to barely cover school for me and my parents pay for my sister's tuition. I have yet to receive any actual tangible financial aid so I have to pay out of pocket for the time being, for Fall 2010 and upcoming Winter 2011. Things are tight but we're getting by. Any extra money I had went to my parents in order to make December's bills. One can only hope for a better year in 2011. Through it all I'm still trying to figure out what presents to get my parents for Christmas. Maybe something that will help with their stress. Even things people take for granted...a Christmas tree, we have to try to budget for. Or at least I have to. Maybe my sister and I can come up with some spare money to get one.
My lifestyle needs to change. At least for the time being. I don't know how some of my friends do it. But I'll have to figure it out. Tonight we went out for Boiling Crab, and I dropped $45 for Sara and I. I literally felt that money getting pulled out of my bank account. I can't say it was worth it because food disappears real quick when I'm around haha, but it was good, real good. It's okay, I saved up for that meal. It just means I won't be going out as much (at all). I'll figure it out. I always end up doing so, somehow.
Everything will be fine in due time.
