Taxes, so tedious. But this year I got smart and started a spreadsheet and entered the receipts as I generated them. In categories. I know, right? That's 8 hours of toil saved right there (well, not really saved, I just did it in bits and pieces over the past year--but that means I get my refund THAT MUCH FASTER. Woo hoo!

Because ladies and gentlemen, I am extremely poor. Really, really poor. I am now on the Nicolae Ceauşescu Austerity program to Pay Off ~~Romania's foreign~~ Clara's school debt. No going out and dropping $20 on drinks, no impulsive sushi purchases, no *sob* impromptu dinners at Indian Road Cafe. Cannot. Afford. It. Srsly. All socializing will have to be done at someone's apartment, or at the park or something. Maybe a splurge of a cup of coffee, but it won't be Starbucks.

Speaking of which, our start-up again of Drunken Knitting this weekend was so much fun--love to do it again soon! See, you can have a good time without dropping lots of money! Let's think about another one in a month or so.

Had my first class today--woo hoo!

Never a borrower and a lender be...

Or something like that. Tax refunds suck. That's your money that you loaned to the government at 0% even while paying interest (likely to a government backed entity). Better to claim more allowances, take home more (and use it to pay down student loans faster!) even if it means having to write a check on April 15. I kick myself when I make that mistake (like the past two years...) Taxes should be planned the January before!

But aside from that, congrats on the start of classes, and I love the new icon!

Yay for class and refunds!
