Life In Expense

My life is expensive. On Monday I went shopping with a few friends.
Bus fares - $4
Lunch (Subway) - $8.70
Coffee (Starbucks) - $7.40
Gloves - $12.99
Eyeshadow - $18.99
Total - $52.08
In a whole day shopping, that's nothing. There really wasn't much to be buying. I was primarily looking for a ball dress, I didn't find one I liked for less than the one I had my eye on. Which brings us to Tuesday.
Total - $540
Dress - $540
Earrings - free.
There is also the fact of owing my mother ~$700.
Fine - $333
iPod - $329 (I think)
Jewellery - $40
I then have Sydney, which after parents kindly paying for my flight and accomodation I will have to pay for the shows we see, food, and transport while I'm there. Estimate $1000.
Since we won Sheilah Winn and have to compete in the nationals in Wellington, I have another trips costs to cover. Have not yet negotiated on how much parents will contribute, but estimate my costs at $200.
I also have National Youth Drama School next week, which I'll be paying for a lot of take out food throughout. Estimate $100.
There is the possibilty of some of my ball dress being paid by my mother, so I will owe her however much she won't pay for. I'll estimate at $400 for myself right now.
Sub total - $2452.08
Minus what I already paid, which is only that day shopping.
Final total - $2400
I do not have that much money. Time to save, I think. although the world of wasting money is very tempting, I shall now be rather frugal, on occasions other than those two trips I'm budgeting for, and food through NYDS.
On the point of NYDS, I can't wait for it, but I also can't wait for the break the week after it. By going to drama school I'm instantly losing one week of my two week school holiday. I've been pretty busy lately, I really see myself needing the break.
Now I have to go get an early dinner, before heading out - fundraising for Sydney.
I see this entire year being very busy. Bring on the exhaustion.
