Cripes...

I was SUPER lucky and I found a legal job this summer back home. I was really hoping that I would be able to save some money and put it towards my mountain of debt that is rising at a staggering rate. Unfortunately, I have to pay rent back in lawschooltown at my apartment AND at my new place starting in June. This will total almost $1400. Add to that the cost of driving to and from my home-state (about $400 each way) and this summer will cost me around $2200. I'll probably make somewhere around $3100 at my job, so I should net around $900. Don't get me wrong, I think that's awesome. Instead of being in the HOLE, I come out ahead just enough to buy my books. But still, I was hoping to buy an Xbox instead...

I don't want it to sound like I am complaining about my job, SO not the case! I am super excited and (mostly) lucky. I'm just disappointed that it won't help me FINANCIALLY like I hoped. It was bad enough that $3100 wouldn't make a much of a dent in my debt, so $900 (about 2% of my debt) seems like nothing.
