It has been 1 year since my Nana died. Yesterday I decided I would take the day off and then I got the harebrained idea that I would see where her family came from in Germany. My mom never got back to me with that information, so I am still here.
That’s fine.
I cooked eggs-in-a-basket for breakfast since she made it for me once. It is odd that I remember it since I don’t remember eating it very often growing up. I looked at my overripe bananas and wished for her banana bread recipe, but I don’t have it. It is going to be a quiet day with a lot of reflection on her life, or what little I know of it.
Tonight Nathalie and I are cooking. I asked her if she wanted to cook something Asian, and she said yeah. I asked her what and she said it is all the same to her. I decided that Terriyaki chicken would be way good. I am going to go buy the chicken soon, I think. I should also do laundry and finish homework and study for this exam tomorrow. My professor said I could take it tomorrow, after all. That is good news for me.
I’ve been thinking a lot about what I am going to do with my job earnings. I don’t need to buy food or pay rent or utilities. I calculated that to pay off my credit card in 12 months, my monthly payments will need to be $362.50. At the current exchange rate of 1 euro being approx. $1.28, that is 282.75 euros a month, or just over half of what I will be making a month. It would be REALLY nice to not have that debt hanging over my head. I have to figure out a way to make my euros dollars and get them into my American bank account though. Bank of America said they would charge me $16 a transfer (wtf!). Thus I am going to try to transfer large amounts at a time.
I am terrible at this logistical crap.
After the credit card comes my student loan payment. I tried to e-mail them to correct their incorrect in-school date until 2012 date, but they did not respond with anything other than a generic e-mail about getting a loan application started. I really don’t know what is going on with that.
