It has been a tough month this year, despite all the Christmas celebrations.
"Tough times never last but tough people do."
Finance
I hope I do have enough money to survive for the month and the accumulating burden is getting on me. My mom borrowed money from me and I am actually very frustrated with it. As a parent, she kept telling us not to spend money on unnecessary items, such as an oven that I had been eyeing on for a long time. BUT, she used her money to bet on the lottery, which I think it is even more unnecessary as she never won any price.
I started to control my expenses within $500 this month and though I am trying my best to cut costs, I did a foolish decision to sign up for a gym membership at True Fitness for $100+ per month. It all happened when my colleague referred me to the gym when she only got a trial pass. When I got there, one person brought me around the gym and started to hard sell me the gym package. I was puzzled as I thought I just need to retrieve the 2 weeks fitness pass. However, I still signed up for the gym membership as it was in my 2017 resolution and I am worried about my body fat since at least a year ago? Nevertheless, it will eat up my budget and I hoped I would find ways to tackle the problem. Perhaps to make more lunches at home, I guess?
Service/ Contribution
I had not been doing any service work or any contribution to the society for the past year. I would really hope to do some of these next year, preferably with a friend. And as I grow older, I felt that my impact is insignificant because not everyone would be appreciative of the actions and I don't want to be a nice girl anymore. :(
School
For this week, I had two tests and even though they are not graded, I had low self-confidence of the tests. I could barely finish the tests with more than 2 pages of the answer. With less than 5 months to exams, I hope I can grow better as a person with some critical thinking and better time management.
