Down to My Last Euros

If you wanted to use aviation metaphors to describe my current financial state, the appropriate one to apply to me currently would be a crash landing. I'm basically broke and I'm spending my final Euros. It's difficult plotting out how I'm going to buy souvenirs for family and friends back home, visit some final museums and historical sites here in Athens, and eat all on the budget of about 80 Euros. Sure, thats over $100, but that doesn't buy much love here in Athens. As it is, I will be trying to squeeze as much work in this summer as possible, especially since I'm trying to live off-campus next year at school. But unfortunately the realities of capitalism have caught up to me, and if I'm to avoid that cruel temptress Debt, it'll be cheap cheap cheap from here on out. Sorry mom and dad, that means no authentic Middle Eastern carpet!
