Sticks and Stones May Break My Bones, but Whips and Chains Excite Me

The ever-so-clever title will be made into a button for my man purse thanks to a wonderful gal who goes by the name The Godfather. Though not a lot of people call her that, it's what she insists on going by. I, however, constantly defy The Godfather by calling her Katy.

Today I calculated my next school year to cost me around $14500. That's about $14500 I don't have. Tuition costs, being the $7500 chunk of the overall total, is due August 15th. Again, that's $7500 I don't have. I figure I can scrape by if OSAP cooperates and gives me the maximum amount allowed for a student loan. If all goes according to plan, OSAP will cover the tuition and books and, to continue following the plan, the part-time job I snag for the school year (something I don't really want to do) will cover the rent, utilities, entertainment and food... and alcohol.

On a happier paragraph, I finally have a summer job, and with this I hope I can save up enough money for a small buffer zone, you know, just in case I run out of money or something. I don't know how often or how well I'll be getting paid working at the Molson Amphitheater, but hopefully it's often and hopefully it's decent.

To continue this happy trend, I saw the movie Saved!, which was a great romantic Christian satire. I don't want to give much away, but it was a brilliantly acted and superbly directed film that has a nice, sappy, feel-good fairy-tale ending. In fact, it was so sappy and so feel-good that I got a little misty eyed at times. Also, I never knew one of the cutest boys in the world, Patrick Fugit, was in it. One of his shining moments was when he was wearing nothing but a small loin cloth. Mmmm, Irish boys. I mean- what? Where am I? Who am I? *Ahem* I think I'll be definitely getting this movie on DVD so I can watch it again- and no, not for the loin cloth scene. Though that might be an added bonus, the movie was just that enjoyable to watch again and again.
