Yes, you are reading right. It is Wonderful Wednesday and I am posting this on an actual Wednesday. I am, aren’t I? I have no clue what day of the week it is to be quite honest because of the bank holiday, and September just rolled in so my brain is working overtime with thoughts of autumn, final year stress, and… Christmas (?!?!). So let’s get this positivity out there and overshare to our hearts content.
- My parents have been away on holiday this week and I’ve been getting used to doing things for myself again. In my first year of university I moved into halls and had to get my arse into “adult” gear, and then things went a tiny bit pear shaped so I moved back in with the old folks (sorry mum!). I’m still trying to remember how to actually do things for myself without creating a bomb site (you should see the laundry room), but I’m getting there!
- My friends came for the weekend and we spent the entire time laughing, dancing around the living room, drinking naughty cocktails, and watching completely trashy TV. It was nice to have people to fill this big house while the parents are away, and it took my mind off a lot of things that were going on. See the above pear shaped post to get an idea.
- I got my timetable for my final year and although I can’t attend the first two weeks (oh crap!), it looks exciting. There’s strategic thinking, management skills, independent study… and much more. My mind is completely buzzing with things to do for my independent study – social networking in the entertainment industry, theatre case studies, what makes a good show, the future of marketing… I’m getting giddy! And as weird as it sounds, I’m excited at the prospect of being in 4 days a week because it’ll keep me busy and I love busy!
- I paid £400 off my credit card – yes, it has a £1000 limit and I was up to my last few pence, but I made a deal with myself to pay it off this year. For some bizarre reason I never managed to pay it off last year even though I had the exact same job which pays incredibly well. I checked my statements and I paid, get this, £50 off. That is absolutely pathetic, right? So the deal is done. I’m paying the remaining £600 off next month which gets rid of the £50/month charges – um, what to do with the extra cash?! Well it is my final year after all… and there will be lots of parties… Lizzie, you have a deal.
How wonderful is your Wednesday?
Last Thursday just so happened to be payday, and bearing in mind that I’m a student… I pay no tax. Hoorah! So it always leaves me with a little extra cash to treat myself with, and I even managed to pay 40% of my credit card off this month. And next month the other 60% is getting paid off and I’ll be debt free with £50 extra a month (damn those credit card charges) to spend. On top of that I paid all the bills for my new flat even though I’m not living there yet. And I even managed to pay for all of the materials needed to host a small, but fabulous, gathering at my house on Saturday. After all of that? I had some spare cash left over so I went a little crazy with the old debit, yes I said debit, card. And here are the results…
J'adore ruffles, platforms, Uggs, and fancy phones.
I am well aware that once this year is over and I am no longer a student that life will change. Payday will mean so much more to me than it does now, but hey, while I’m young with very little to worry about I’m allowed to treat myself, right? And those shoes needed a good home… or so I keep telling myself.
