After I hung up the phone with the mechanic this morning, I breathed a sigh of relief. My car is only going to be $360 to repair. I was relieved- this price was about half of what I had anticipated it would be. Then I realized that $360 is still a lot of money to pay!
Life comes with a lot of bumps in the road. Things happen, and we have to spend money that we didn't plan on spending. Parking tickets, car repairs, and school bills are just some of the things that have happened to me recently. I should be prepared for these things when they do happen, but with business being so slow, it seems impossible to save as much as I should be saving.
With all of these unexpected, not so great surprises, I turn my thoughts to something more positive: graduation. Hopefully sooner rather than later, I will have a real job with a stable paycheck. I know that all of this hard work will pay off eventually, and until then I just need to roll with the punches. Shopping is put on hold for now, at least for a couple of weeks. I'm sure that the removal of my big, fat, red rejection sticker will be more satisfying than a new pair of heels.
Ut oh...could I possibly be growing up?
