This whole making $500 a month thing isn't working.
Although my dad is already giving me $625 a month for bills, and both parents providing more as needed, my bills are much more than that and I have little to enjoy on what I want. It's stressful and it really brings my whole attitude down. I don't use that time to study usually (I study at night), so I'm picking up more hours at work.
At my work, I choose my own hours on whatever days. If I work at least 28 hours a week, I'll get an extra $2.16 per hour, making my hourly pay anywhere from about $9.75 to $11.00, closer to the $10.25 area probably. I type, and how fast I type determines how much I make. Obviously it will fluctuate depending on who's speaking in the recording, how tired I am, etc.
So now I'll be making much more money. I'll also have much less down time, meaning less time to spend that money on random outings.
I scheduled myself from 1-9 or 2-9 depending on the day. I also have decided to work only in 1- and 1.5-hour increments, because typing gets tiring. But I can take breaks whenever I want, leave early, show up late, etc...as long as I work my amount of scheduled hours for the day.
I'm going to give it a try and see how it works out. I think it's time for some more structure and responsibility again.

Aunt Cathy, I have your Kuwaiti money. It came out to like $90 USD if you want all of it. You're welcome to take as much or as little as you want. I'll find somewhere to exchange anything that you don't take. I hope all is well with you all and please tell everyone I said hi! Thanks again for letting us stay around New Year's. :)
