Sabrina’s Money Madness

I break my tuition into 3 payments to make it easier to manage. I paid my second payment this morning. My next payment is due in 27 days. This will be the hardest payment to make. Unless something amazing happens within the next month, I’m $500 short on my payment. I’ll probably use my credit […]

I can’t believe it’s already time for school to start. My first class is tomorrow and I’m so not ready for it. It’s not just because of the weather either but that is a major factor. I hate going to school in the winter because it’s so cold and I have to stand outside waiting […]

It sucks that I have to put out all of this money for school. But I’m trying to focus on the positive. I only have 3 payments and then I’m done paying for school for at least 1 full year. It may be longer than that if I don’t get into my first choice school […]

I finally added my last class for the Spring semester. That also means that I’m on track to graduate. I filled out the papers for that on Monday when I registered for my English Lit class. I was kinda bummed that the class that I really wanted to take was closed. It’s a sports-related class […]

I only worked half the day today. I decided to go to school in the morning and then go to work. I had to go to 2 different offices but it was a bunch of back and forth trips. Add to that the mound of paper work that I had to fill out and it […]

I have off from work on Tuesday because of Veterans’ Day. I was planning on going to school since it’s open and registering for my last class and applying for graduation. I found out yesterday that the last day to apply for graduation is Monday and if I wait, then I have to pay a […]

This is my last payment for the semester. I’m glad that the semester is paid for but I haven’t even had my first exam in the class yet. I’ll pay the bill before the day is over. I hate seeing that chunk of money leaving my checking account. This payment is $606.00 because I paid […]

For this semester I’m $150.00 short. I don’t know what numbers I was looking at but my budget is really wrong. I do have a small “slush” fund that I can use but that will throw off the numbers for the spring. Right now I’m just going to concentrate on paying off the current semester. […]

It’s not only killing my budget, but it’s killing my pseudo-diet as well. I’m trying to figure out how to lose weight and keep it off but on days that I have school that all goes out the window. I eat lunch at work but then I don’t get to eat dinner until I get home […]

Last Monday my prof. gave 10 people (including me) a chapter to analyze for the next class. There are 5 chapters with 2 people each reviewing it. Then in class he calls on those two people first for comments about the chapter. Then the discussion is opened to the rest of the class. That’s just […]

It seems like I just paid it and now it’s already due again. I pay in 3 installments because that’s the longest time we’re allowed to stretch it out. We used to be able to make 4 payments but they stopped that last year. I don’t have enough cash to just be able to pay […]

I can do a budget because my income is fairly stable. But I’m in school and I still have a least 1 semester to go. Even if I budget for savings, the money will go towards school this year and the early part of next year. Then once I’m finally done with school, I’ll have […]
