I'll have about $174 left to eat out. I get about $480 a month now. My school gave me an extra $500 for spending last year, the one first semester I attended.
I was gonna go to some workshops at the library, but 2 were $10.
I gave up saving to see the Freiburger Barockorchester perform now or for going for a workshop in Germany, which would be a plane about $1000 round trip.
I hope to find a job that lets me do things I want soon enough, getting a degree or so probably. I should have an AA in Music in Violin Performance at the end of the next school year, Spring 2021. I just need 4 more General Studies I may take now in Spring 2020 and the music classes. I'm also taking private violin this semester and probably in the summer to meet the requirement, though I have enough with other instruments I took before. 3 classes are religion. I may drop the serious class of the New Testament, which was weird, and do it in the summer if I can; if I can't may take it now.
I don't really want just to be a teacher. I'd like to perform. I'm not sure if I should do a backup major, for money purposes. They don't have anything there, mostly church related degrees.
My life has improved going to the gym and should even more next month when I have more money to eat out. My dad wanted me to finish food at home and didn't want pizza and I've had at least 3 pieces of cake in the past 24 hours. We'll get pizza for New Year's Eve; that's Tuesday. Then, something I like at home, dumplings, hot dogs, and sauerkraut. I have a craving to eat out, something I thought I could try not to do. Even in college, I ate at their dining facilities and I was very healthy but eating as much food as I could that was healthy, running out of money for more though and so not as healthy as I could be.
