Campaign for Beauty Portland is America’s new coffee capital?
Oct 19

While I’m going to school, I’m not working and living off my money from Korea.  Lately, the cash flow has been dwindling FAST.  I have an RSS feed to FatWallet.com, and every day, there are new feeds of all the deals and sales happening around the stores in the U.S.  Here’s what I’ve bought so far:

 Canon Rebel XTi

This arrives today!  $800 for the kit, after a $100 off sale. 

 SandDisk 4GB Compact Flash

For the camera, of course.  $147 after $40 mail-in-rebate.

Epson RX700

Epson RX700 All-In-One printer, scanner, copier.  80% of the time, I’ll be using this to scan old photographs from our family albums and negatives from 35mm film.  I’m trying to get everything digitalized, because it IS 2006.  Where are the flying cars???  $230 after $170 mail-in-rebate.

Kingston 2GB SD card

I’ll be using this to put music on my PDA.  That way, I canl listen The Killers latest album, and play sudoku while commuting to classes on public transportation.  $17 after mail-in-rebate!

Samsung MP3 player

This is a Samsung YP-F1V 256MB MP3 player with FM radio.  It’s for my mom to listen to at work.  She still uses a CD player, and (gasp!) tape cassette.  I know it doesn’t fit a lot of songs, but there’s always the radio.  For $18.71 and free shipping, it’s worth it.

I’m now reconsidering whether I should be working part-time or not while going to school.  It probably wouldn’t work out anyway because I’m too picky about what I want to do, and for how long.  Ideally, I wouldn’t mind working at an art supply store like Art Media, a stationary store, or at a printing press.  I’d only want to work 10-15 hours a week, not have to travel far to get there, make at least $10 an hour, and have them work around MY schedule.  So… I’ve come to the conclusion that I probably won’t be working this term.
