First Paycheck

i got my first paycheck today, and i must say, i'm quite fond of it.

althoughhhhhh, i was surprised to see that 20% of my actual earnings went into taxes. it used to be 15% at my old jobs, but i suppose this is different.
the amount on this pay period that went to taxes could've paid for a new iPod, and that makes me kinda sad. hahaha
i'm still grateful though.



ah, i had the most amazing weekend.
seriously, one of the best in seemingly forever.
i especially appreciated everything more after watching "Darfur Now" on friday night.


i am sad to return to reality.
it was good while it lasted.



count your blessings.
