Day 6

Clearly, you all know what day it is and the day corresponds with how many days I'm doing this so I finally decided it was a little redundant to post both the date and how many days I've been doing this.

So, I woke up early again to get my finance text from my professor (during his office hours). Shocker! He wasn't there and the secretary still didn't have a clue, so here's a test I have in a little over a week and I don't have the text. I'll be fine though, I've got all next week to study. Exciting... I know. However, I did get to go to my new class' department office to pick up a copy of that text, which was 12 dollars. I know! Breaking the bank, right? Wellll, I'm throwing a little trick into the mix, cuz let's be honest, this is my game.

After I grudgingly handed over my 12 Euros, I headed over to the bank to cash in my growing stack of coins that I had been collecting on my desktop... I have to admit I took a picture and was going to crack a joke about depleting my coin reserves, but now that just seems silly. Anyways, I actually had managed to amass 12.86 Euros throughout the semester of small coins. So, I'm looking at a slight positive on the day.

Oh crap, I was supposed to do laundry tonight with that money on my KWIK card (long story, and the logic of it doesn't make sense so i won't explain). I somehow managed to forget that one until just now. Well looks like that won't get done until Friday.

Obviously, I was feeling like a million bucks when I returned to school later in the day with my newly created wealth. So wealthy, in fact that I actually paid 55 cents to get a fair trade cappuccino (they're really tiny), instead of a mere 50 cents for the regular cappuccino. It just tastes that much better and all that guilt I feel for the coffee bean pickers I feel when I typically sip my coffee in the morning.

Okay, yeah I went to the wrong machine. But, that's beside the point.

To cap things off, I realized I had eaten all of my "dinner" food and needed to go get a pasta packet. Unfortanately, Billa (nearby grocery store) was closed and I had to go to the train station to get food. After paying 2.27 for something that probably would've been 1.99 at Billa, I felt like I was being taken for a ride. I didn't let it get to me though, it was good and I've got some for lunch tomorrow. Money spent: 14.82 - 12.86(change) = 1.96 Euros for the day.
