Friday night homework / $$$$
Feb. 20th, 2009 10:57 pmIt's another Friday night that I found myself doing statistics homework!
Woo... I feel like a nerd.
I guess I just don't really feel like doing anything else at the moment. I was going to drag my friends out with me to watch a movie, but I realized that I didn't have that much money to spend. I thought I'd do something productive instead.. so I did homework. Unfortunately, I finished it all, and I don't have anything left to do. Now I have a lot of free time again.
I have some money that I've been putting away slowly since 5 years ago. It's now enough to buy me a plane ticket to Japan. My parents are having a hard time paying off the mortgage for our house though... and I've been thinking if I should just give it to them so they can use it. If I find a job, I can make that money back eventually. Right now, it's just "rainy day" money, in case something happens.
There are a lot of economic problems around me. I really don't see how things can get easier. Even with some of the proposed bailouts that Obama wants to implement... it doesn't seem like it would actually solve the crisis. It only serves to cushion the blow, financially, and only for the short term. I'm not an economic analyzer though, so I don't really know much about it... but I do know how scary the whole situation is for everyone around me, and for me too. Why does this world have to revolve so much around money?
It's a shame how things in this world turned out. 9/11... the economic crisis... and here I am, finally about to graduate... finally with enough money to chase after my dream of going to Japan, and finally with the ability to believe in myself. I see the finish line after having strugged for so many years in my life... but it's hard to see what comes after that. Is there much of a future to look forward to?
All I can really do is face the future, and believe that things will be okay.
