Ah, it’s a wonderful time of the year. The sun is shining, the birds are singing, the grass is turning green, and college students are preparing for finals. And, as a supplemental instructor, I am helping the organic chemistry students at my old school to learn and prepare for their test.
I always find it interesting, seeing just how far the students can come in a semester. Chemistry that was giving them trouble when I started up my sessions in January is now second nature to them, although I wonder how many of them even stopped to realize it. Of course, they have also managed to forget much of the material from fall that they haven’t used lately, so I suppose they’ll have some use for me yet.
Of course, out in the real world, there are no final exams or mid terms. Instead, you have to keep monitoring your progress through life as you go and keep track of how you are doing. With that in mind (and my awkward segue over), let us see where my finances are this week:
My net worth took a pretty heavy blow this week. This doesn’t surprise me; on top of my usual expenditures, I also booked a flight, hotel room, and rental car for a trip out to California to visit my girlfriend’s extended family. It’ll be nice to see her family and have a relaxing time out in the sun, but it does hurt my finances, at least for the time being.
