christmas time with no money, honey.

Pathways, treeways, of the sky

Christmas is coming! It’s already a week away by the time I post this…

I came to some realizations lately. One of them, is that I have to start budgeting way more than I have been, and another is that I probably have to rent out my apartment if I truly want to go to school for the next 5 or 6 years.

It’s a good thing I realized all this right before Christmas, since what’s going to happen, is I won’t be going crazy and spending hundreds of dollars on gifts for my sister, niece, brother in law, friends, and special random people who deserve gifts, but won’t be getting any. I didn’t even make a card this year. (I suck. I know). I feel weird. This will be the first time in decades that I don’t give gifts. Everyone I mentioned it to was really understanding.

I’m also going to start selling some things… like the road bike I bought that I never really rode, and some other things like my Canon EOS Rebel DSLR camera, maybe my iPad… (debating), etc. Oddly enough, I have some toys. Gashapon stuff. They might sell on ebay or something– so I might sell them. I also have a book that’s out of print, and I’ve seen listed for $300 which I might part ways with… But I love that book. Ah. We’ll see… I plan to start getting rid of stuff in my apartment since I’ll have to get ready to move out if I plan to be renting it out by summertime.

What can I say? Shit’s getting real. If I want this future career as a Chemistry professor… there will need to be sacrifices.
