I'm drowning in material satisfaction right now. I have my new mac laptop and a new super pretty guitar. So starting next paycheck, I'm going to start really saving. It's really hard to live cheap in the city, but I'm working on it. My library fines are paid so I can stop frequenting Borders, and I also have to limit my movie intake (at 12 bucks a pop). I would be absolutely ashamed if I did not save tons and tons of money when I am making what many people are raising large family's on. But it is so easy. It would be easy as pie to lay down 100 dollars a day in this city. Coffee, a movie, dinner, a book, a CD and you are set. I gave some money to MaterCare today. I'd rather support smaller, more specific charities than the big ones like Red Cross. I'm going to try to give every two months. I just think it is a habit i should get into especially now that I am actually making some money.
Here's some pics I took with the camera in my computer.
I'm a South Carolinian, transplanted to the Midwest where I'm in the processes of getting my Ph.D in history. Currently travelling through the British Commonwealth on the dime of a long dead American industrialist. I love to take pictures of beautiful things, make note of beautiful happenings, and occasionally talk about how much I miss my beautiful dog.
