Impulsive Shopping: Study Abroad Edition

So today is a holiday celebrating the Armistice that ended WW1 and since I woke up at 1pm, I've successfully sat on my bed all day doing nothing.

Except create a list of all the countries and cities I want to see this year. And becoming decreasingly depressed at my lack of money and time to see them all, as my stomach grumbled due to a lack of sustenance due to the aforementioned lack of money...and motivation. (The food in my cupboard/fridge at the moment: Enough snack waffles for breakfast, coffee, french fries, salami, cheese, and pasta to last me about 2 days)


So you'd think the reasonable explanation would be to, oh I don't know, search for a babysitting or English teaching gig to get a little bit of extra cash, right?

Wrong. Upon finding a roundtrip flight for less than $100, I subsequently planned a weekend trip to Madrid to see my buddy Michael next weekend instead.

Pourquoi pas? Why not?

Also, I am a dummy. I wanted you all to leave comments but I had it on a registered user only setting! Which is now changed, you can now leave anonymous comments if you'd like...My bad.
