If there's one thing Auri knows about himself, it's that tangible benefits are the only way to make him spring into action. Auri's strong, uncontrollable desire to obtain this schweet laptop from Toshiba ([link]) without breaking his wallet, and realizing scholarships may not be the answer by themselves, has made him pursue additional sources of finances that can fit into his college schedule.

As such, over the past few weeks, I've been analyzing my diet in terms of nutrients, and filling in gaps where necessary. Why? So I could try the plasma center thing again, hopefully with better results than my last attempt. Did that today, and the result was SUCCESS. $20 a visit, the rate is. At two appointments a week, that means I can potentially draw in an additional $160 every month. That means I CAN EAT AGAIN! WHOOOO!!!1!1

I also applied to a part-time seasonal position at UPS as a graveyard shift package handler. The tour of the place is Monday night. I've got a good feeling about this one; if I get the job, the pay should be decent, and it may lead to a permanent part-time position, who knows?

Oh, and Daishocon is only two weekends away.
