feeling the pinch

These past few weeks I have been definitely feeling the international money pinch. My pockets are emptier than ever. Money has never been one of my top driving forces, but I think that will soon change. I really can’t continue living like this. Everything is so expensive. In reality, it isn’t to me, but because I am not making any money, it sure does feel like it. If the dollar would only gain some value it would be great. Why is it dropping so much? Is this Bush’s doing? Crappola! A job, any job, is definitely needed in the near future. The problem I have is that I am overqualified to work at a bar. Don’t really think I am, but once they look at my resume they won’t even give me a shot because I have no real “physical work” experience. I would so love to be a dog walker right now. Don’t mind picking up the poop or playing with the pup. Whenever I’ve applied to work in customer service type jobs, I never get them. Yeah, so I don’t really like people much, but I’ll fake it if I need the money badly enough.

As I’ve mentioned above, I’ve been here now a few weeks. Besides the money issues, I’m enjoying my little adventure. It doesn’t seem much like it though. I do the same thing I used to do back home. School is ok. I am slowly getting the hang of it and it is almost ending as well. Will definitely be sad when classes are over. I would really like to be doing more stuff, but with the lack of funds that is a major no-no. I am trying to conserve the little that I have now, which because of this whole dollar thing isn’t much.

Eh! Life, what can I do about it? Crying won’t help much, so I just have to keep on trucking.
