I’m begin­ning to feel a lit­tle stress due to all the art sup­plies we have to buy. Ever since return­ing from Win­ter break, I have spent well over $150 just on art sup­plies. When you go to uni­ver­sity, all you have to buy are your text­books and scant­rons occa­sion­ally, but when you go to art school, you have to buy the $300 ini­tial sup­ply kit, and ON TOP of that, you have to buy more sup­plies that you’ll be using in classes. I orig­i­nally had bud­geted out $150 on gro­ceries per month, and an ‘x’ amount on art sup­plies, but I am think­ing of cut­ting my gro­cery bud­get to sup­ple­ment for the grand amount of art sup­plies, which.. yes means that I won’t have as much to eat! I don’t know.. :( I am not the one pay­ing to tuition.. my par­ents are, and I am going to be thrifty, fru­gal, penny-pinching, coupon cut­ting, you name it, for as long as I am an art stu­dent and until I pay them back.

Total is about ~$160, then + tax and that fun jazz.

I don’t have too much food left to eat. I guess I’ll just have to clear out my freezer and fridge draw­ers until I have nothing :)
