Shopping for shoes while at my internship the other day made me realize that spending money while you are not simultaneously earning money leaves you with progressively less money. If you do this long enough, you end up with zero money. And then you are screwed.
Luckily, though, I have two sources of income in addition to this (hopefully) resume-enhancing internship. Well, one source. And that one's only a hypothetical future source. But hear me out.
1) Pratt gave me a scholarship. This means that I will start my graduate career with a few thousand dollars of pocket money to pay for things like rent and food. However, the thing about scholarships (the thing that makes them not like jobs and therefore not real sources of income) is that they run out. Which brings me to ...
2) I took a bartending course, and am now a Certified Bartender with Alcohol Awareness. Being a certified bartender isn't technically a source of income, but it is a hypothetical future source of income. So, provided that I can get a bartending gig before my scholarship money runs out, I should be all set.
And there you have it - a foolproof financial plan. Add some lucrative freelance positions, and I'll be making bank in no time.

yay sally has a blog! This will help with my 'not living with sally for the first time in four years' transition. don't worry about an income; these things work themselves out. but since I don't have one until AUgust and can't afford to go to NYC until then, come to boston! (before July 7th). In fact, come July 1st for the carnival!
