I subbed on Thursday, 8th grade science. It went well, I think. I'm freaking out a little about how I'm going to pay next month's rent and bills and such. I need about $490 every month to cover rent, utilities, and credit card bills. Not to mention food, gas, and other necessities. Blargh. Every time I think I'm making a little financial progress, I get fucked again. I'm not sure what happened this time. I supposed my own stupidity. I didn't figure out until my last shopping spree that despite the fact that I've been working since the end of September, I won't be paid until the end of October because of how the payroll cycle works. So even though this pay period is up on the 14th, I won't see that money until the 31st. So basically, if I don't work at least three days next week, I'm fucked. Woohoo.

In light of this fact, I have applied for a part time job teaching soccer. I have an interview Tuesday. I think that could be really cool. I just need to brush up on my soccer a little bit. Not the actual playing, just the rules and stuff. Most of it I remember, but there are tiny insignificant rules that I can never keep track of. So I'm going to do a little research and check on it.

I've also decided not to become a teacher. I don't know exactly what my calling is in life, but I know it's not teaching. I was thinking I might apply to the Peace Corps. Except then I'd be leaving my kitty behind and that is just about too heartbreaking to even think about. I dunno though. I'm sure my parents would take her and then I'd know she'd be there when I got back. Still...it's hard enough for me to go on vacation without my kitten for a week...but 19 months? I can barely fathom it...
