My current restaurant/bar habit is standing in the way of my dreams.


I spent somewhere between $50 and $70 yesterday on eating out, coffee, beer, and Internet access outside my house.

I would be really embarrassed if my parents knew that.

At the same time, I don't know exactly what I could or should have done differently. Esther's family had come to town and so our apartment was totally full of people, and I had to study. I could have gone to Peet's instead of Starbucks, because Peet's has Internet access. . . I guess that would have saved me $12. But it also would have cost me 30-45 minutes of study time.

I think the solution for me is to set myself up so that I don't have the money available to waste.
