I've been in bed most of the day trying to sleep so I won't have to think of what lies ahead

Man, I feel so overwhelmed right now. I've got about a month to finish up all my projects for my porfolio review, I've a paper to write for Photography class, I've to finish a super-late project for photography class, and I've to keep up with my intersnhip blog.

I'm about to be in a financial quagmire, which isn't a good thing. Me and my younger sister are traveling to NYC at the end of May on a little vacation. It was her idea to go, and she wanted me to come along with her. We've already purchased our plane tickets, and I had been in pretty decent financial standing for the trip, only spending my money on things for class, and a few indulgences. The only big purchase was my digital camera. Anyway, my funds have dwindled quite a bit, recently. My only saving grace is that I have two commissions lined up that should supply me with the money needed for my trip.

Last semester when I was hard up for cash, I sold some books and CDs on amazon.com. That worked out pretty well, actually. I'm looking at some books right now that I could sell. I don't want to part with too many of my possessions, though. The reason I bought them in the first place was so that I could, you know, have them. However materialistic that may sound, that's how it is.

That said, the point is that I'd rather sell my art than sell my stuff. So, I'd gladly take commissions that can be completed in the next two months in order to fund my upcoming excursion.

But didn't you say you got a job, a frequent reader of my blog may ask.

The answer is yes, but right after I was hired, business got slow. Slow business equals there not being much opportunity for me to learn on the job. It also means that since I was hired to "help out" I'm pretty much useless if there aren't many customers. Maybe things will pick up in the future, and CiCi will call me back. I'm not begrudging the situation. It's just life.
