Working Part Time

My parents are against me working part time.

To be honest, I enjoy working even though the place I am working at is like a dead town. I just enjoy mingling around with fellow sales people and greeting the (VERY) few customers who walk in. It's kind of fun.

I only have 3 modules this semester hence there is only 3-4 working days a week. What do I do on my spare days? Study? Studying is good and I believe in setting aside 2-3 hours a day to grasp the notes of the past week but WILL I reaaaallllyyyy be studying ALL THE TIME when I am at home? Of course NO! I will be online for most of the time. The time that I am online will perhaps be more than the time I would have spent working, earning a small income for self-indulgences - stuff that my parents will NOT buy for me. Back in poly, they gave me $50 a week. Not too bad (though its really little compared to some friends.) and when I ask them for extra $$$ they will make SOOO MUCH NOISE. They do not understand why I need to buy things that are catered to my hobbies. Do I want to go through that again? NO! Also, I want to keep my own finances in check! For the first time in my life, I dare say that 3/4 of the $ in my bank account is mine and mine alone! Last time in poly, when I came home late or when I am arguing with my mother, she will say ABSURD things like "Why are you home so late?!?!?! You are like a stranger in this house?!?!?! Leave if you want to leave and leave EVERYTHING behind because NONE of them are bought by you. All the things that YOU own are not yours because you did not buy them with YOUR MONEY."

I have been scarred, badly scarred.
Dad says that if I continue to work, I should not be schooling. Eff him. Mum says that if I continue to work, I should not play so much. This is more reasonable.

After August, it will be just school and work.
Bye Bye.
