I'm too tired to work on paper, so instead I'll do my finances. Haven't been really good about it this quarter, but I think if I discount apt-related expenses, it will pretty much come out even. Let's examine by looking at my savings account activity.


03-17 TRANSFER FROM CHECKING 200.00 $$ earned and left over from last quarter

03-25 TRANSFER TO CHECKING - 497.92 Such that I start the quarter with $500

04-01 TRANSFER TO CHECKING -475.00 Apt Safety Deposit

04-07 TRANSFER TO CHECKING -139.79 I think to make it an even $300 in checking to do more textbook buying

04-14 CASH WITHDRAWAL AT CBC 0114 30.00-
04-18 CASH WITHDRAWAL AT CBC 0114 20.00-
04-16 TRANSFER TO CHECKING -200.00 just in case had to buy tickets for the Medieval thing.

04-18 DEPOSIT 2,000.00 deposited check from Dad, for apartment

05-15 TRANSFER TO CHECKING -500.00 for furniture buying, etc

06-02 TRANSFER TO CHECKING -1,500.00 for apartment-ness

06-03 TRANSFER FROM CHECKING 700.00 extras because over-precautious



So the game we play here is to make sure I only spend $500 of parents-money..... excluding apartment stuff.

This quarter, I spent $2165 over the $500 mark.
However, $1575 was for the apartment (safety deposit and summer), $30 for the desk and chair, and $30 for Chinatown purchases.

That leaves $530

Some big things are:
- 3 Noodles, 1 Kikuya, 3 Chinatown lunch/dinners, 4 Chinatown snack/dumplings, 2 karaoke, 3 downtown movies. Average $10 per, that's $150.
- A-Cen: $65
- Qi Pao for Calligraphy Club: $75
$3 transportation for movie trips, and $3.60 for Chinatown trips, and Acen, I'm guessing $30 for CTA card
- Walgreens
- Dentist, $10, Toe thing, $10

hmm.... the numbers look wrong somehow. anyway, that's still $530. I'll soon be getting at $300 check for work, and adding the $200 from last quarter, I'd come out even.

Gods, I feel so pathetic.
