Day before 4th of July. No fireworks, or celebrations. But I did manage to get most of my rent paid. I thought that was fairly impressive for this month.

I started working summer school in June, and of course, I won't get a paycheck till the end of July. The cut off date for getting paid in June was the day before summer school started. But at least I won't have to worry so much about rent next month. It's just been unbelievably tight financially for the last few weeks.

I'm hoping to take my GRE in September or October. If I do well on it, I'm going to start applying to grad school in December. It's going to take a lot of time and energy. We'll see how it goes.
