I am currently out of town for an AP workshop and it has been nothing but stress. I should have know because before I came, the event organizer kept calling me like a bill collector saying that the school has not sent in the payment. Then at registration they had me signed up for the wrong class. Luckily, I was able to sit in the correct class for the week.

But the main issue is the cost of the trip. My school gave me around $890 to cover hotel, food, and transportation by taxi. The room is slightly more since I am staying an extra day so I won't have to leave early. Food isn't a problem really. The taxi is the main problem. This morning I paid $28 to get to my destination. That adds up to almost $60 a day for five days, plus another $50 to get from and to the airport. My school only gave me $100 for transportation. I figured it would be much cheaper to rent a car, but I have no credit card. So I paid $50 to get to the airport from my workshop to rent a car with my debit card. My dad is going to put some money in my bank account tomorrow. My school said that they would reimburse me for the rental.

I am extremely stressed. I thought that all costs were covered and didn't even plan to spend extra. I even packed light to avoid checking in a bag, to save those costs to go out. Well I have no funds to go out whatsoever. I found a walking tour, but honestly, I'm just tired and I plan on working while I'm here. I have my list of things to do and plus I really need to work and plan for the school year because it starts next week.

I took a sleeping pill to make sure I can get some sleep tonight. I have too much on my mind and have to wake up too early, so I can't afford to toss and turn all night. Apologies for the horrid writing of this post, but I had to get this off my chest. Hopefully things will get better as the week progresses. Good night!

Awww...I really hope things are looking up since you posted this. I can only imagine your frustration.

I started my old blog up at wordpress. Hopefully I'll be consistent with it this time. It's totally random, but that's what I am so I hope you read it sometimes!
