Plans

Summer option C: do any job the aquarium will give me. This is the one I'm hoping for most, but we'll see. I emailed them Monday to inquire and then tonight I sent my resume with a cover note that sounds a bit too much like begging. No matter what, I think Option A is out. I did a little math with the hours and being a counselor for the little guys works out to over $12 an hour. The art position ends up being under $11/hour, and I'd then feel obligated to spend another 3 hours doing the babysitting thing, so I'd be doing 9 hour days 5 days a week all summer, and in charge of other people's children the entire time, which isn't exactly relaxing.

I actually have plans this weekend. Nothing specific, but a general plan to hang out with my cousin on Sunday. Having plans in advance makes me feel special.

My parents offered to pay for a maid service to clean my apartment once a month or so. I feel like cleaning is really not that difficult and I should do it myself and that a maid service is incredibly bourgeois and cable TV isn't even in my budget and I hate having my parents pay for my living expenses. But then again, I am a fucking pig. I didn't even successfully clean up for the last time I had people staying here. If I ever actually have friends that I want to invite over, something will need to change. I don't know. Would having Mommy and Daddy paying for someone else to clean up my messes make me a bad person? Why am I so awful at maintaining a reasonable living space?
