I'm making many decisions concerning money. The boss said I won't be working many hours now because she is sick and someone replaced her at work on the weekend with another girl with her. I guess I will try to be there for her when she needs me but I will be hard to reach because I recently lost my cellphone this Monday.
My cousin suggested me to work for my dad this coming January for 8$/hour (yes they pay minimum wage now ^.^') with her. I figure, since I have one month off. What the heck. I can save the money for my trip in Spain and Morocco this summer.
I also talk to my dad about my future plan. He asked me if I want to stay in Barcelona and learn Spanish for a month or so. I said yeah!! I suggested him to pay for my education there and I pay for the flight,food, activity,etc there. He is not too happy that I still want to go to Morocco. What the heck, it's my choice!! I'm thinking of going to Spain for a month and two weeks then go to Morocco.
About finding or staying at my current job. Well since I stopped working at Tim Hortons now. There will be less income for me and I might work at the sushi stand for like once a week or when they need me. I decide that I have to deal with less money now. It will probably help me by being more frugal and I have my cousin with me who like to do things the cheap ways since she's not working.
So yeah... On to my quest of living a simple life. I have develop my plan A for my current stay in College. Wanna know my plan A?
