Damnit.  Knowing how to perform perfunctory mathematical calculations has led me to now understand how little I am actually making. Hm. This poses a serious problem! Boo to poverty.  Yes, impoverished I am.  Fucking credit cards.  Yes, I used profanity...very appropriately I feel.  There are several things I am now considering: getting an evening job, subletting my soul, moving in with my grandpa in Orange County (like a 2 hour commute!) for awhile until my debt is manageable and I don't need to utilize the ol' credito cartos just to feed myself! Maybe more $ in gas and a serious haul for a month, but that's money saved, I think, in the long run.  Perhaps I should actually ask him if that's a possibility!
