hmm

Ok so its come apparent to me that I need to get my ass in gear. Yes I like to have fun, and yes I’m in japan and it’s a palce to have fun... but I have some major debt and it hasn’t gone down any since I came here (ya I know I came here to pay stuff off...) Unfortunately for me there have been some key factors in my ability to save
1. Showed up in Japan with 500 bucks and didn’t get a paycheck for 6 weeks so I kind of owed some people some major cash from the get go.
2. I live alone. I’ve never lived alone before and I now realize I HATE it. With no bodies around I either spend way too much time doing nothing... (I find no motivation to study in silence... I’ve studied with noise around me for too long) or find myself frantricly looking for something to do to keep me out of the house. The upside of this is that I know a lot of people... (though unfortunately with the high turnover all your time spent making foreign friends is out the window every couple of months. But, I’m trying to make more Japanese friends these days)
3. I like to drink. This kind of goes hand in hand with number 2 as to why I’ve been spending a lot of money.
SO, from here on in I’m going to try and find a ballence.

The good news in all this is that between my bonus and other things even if I don’t save any money I’ll walk out with 4k to put on bills.. .but I need to get 15k worth of bills paid off before I go back to school.. So um... time to bleed some money.
