This weekend, I received 58$ tips from work. I work double shifts yesterday (13 hours) because I was covering part of my friend work so she could go out with her boyfriend. I was really tired today at work and I was half asleep. It was a bad idea to work 7am to 3pm and 6pm to 11pm yesterday. I was literally dead when I work from 7 am to 3pm today. I didn't get enought sleep and I made a lot of little mistakes.

I count the hours that I work so far, I did 40 hours of work in two weeks. This thursday, I'm expecting a paycheck around 300$. When the paycheck arrive in my bank account, I will put part of the money in my digital camera and part of it in my challenge money. I'm still thinking about the allowance I will be giving myself each week and have my boyfriend give it to me instead. I trust him on holding my bank card and my credit card for awhile.

Let's take a look at my challenge money:

Old amount: 230$
New amount: 320$

I add 50$ from my tips to my challenge money, another 30$ from my bank (I have around 90$ in my bank account right now) and 10$ from my piggy bank.

Also, I took out my France trip and my Cuba trip. I don't think I will have enought money for France by next year because of my Japan trip and I prefer to see my friends in London and in the north of France 2009 for two weeks (Still not sure yet).As for Cuba, my boyfriend suggested me a beach place in the US last Friday which it will be way less expensive than Cuba. He said it's an unknown destination between Florida and Walt-Disney where we can go by car. I might go there with two other couple if they are available next winter. If not, then there's always another destination to choose from. I have to make sure it is something my boyfriend can afford, he is not crazy like me who wants to go everywhere and he might not work when school starts again.

By the way, some people are concern about me traveling alone but I prefer to travel at my own ease. I don't want to feel restrain by anyone. If I want to go somewhere and nobody want to go I don't care, I'm going to travel to that destination anyways. Of course I will take precaution and I will make sure that the destination I go to is safe for me.
