I got a job!
babysitting a 3 yo and a 2yo! It's not a lot of money, only $150 a week, but they're the most adorable kids, I can't wait! So, thank you to whomever suggested I put a listing on Craigslist. I've gotten responses from TWO people!
Thank you everyone
Oh, and This weekend DB's friend Cornwell is going to talk some of their friends into letting me do their laundry, and I'm going to do his as well for $30. $20 for everyone else. (Cornwell knows his is exceptionally gross) and I'm going to do his correspondence courses for him, and he's going to pay me quite a bit for that. I cant freaking WAIT!
I seriously can't thank you all enough. You all really helped idk...calm me down I guess. Thanks

I'm really happy for you. By the way I wouldn't pooh pooh $150 a week. You dont' have to drive to work or spend alot of money on gas, you don't have to wear any special clothes or spend money on Clothes. You're acutally adding to your income not having to worry about these things.
Good Luck!

I haven't had a job in 5 months, but I'm going to college, so I consider that my job. The thing is, I have to live on about 6-7000 a year, but I get more time to study.
