In general, I'm a frugal person. But time to time, I indulge and shell out money for random things. Just how much money do my survival and my desires cost me? On average, how much do I spend each day? I started this spending log to find out. Of course, once I start paying rent and bills, the daily averages should increase substantially. But for right now, it's good to know about how much I spend on food, transportation, and entertainment.

| 10/2 Fri Mon | Went to Ivy Noodle with Dan Chen and Ben Yu (they were at Yale for a high school debate tournament). Since I was on a no hot food diet, deciding what to eat was very easy. I only had two choices: cold sesame noodles or cold sesame noodles with chicken strips. I opted for the latter but regretted it because the chicken was very bland and detracted from the taste. | $6.00 | $6.00 | $1,641.77 | $0.86 | $13.54 | $9.12 |
| 10/2 | Bought Linux for Programmers and Users by Graham Glass and King Ables. More accurately, I was finally charged for this book that I had bought nearly a month ago.

Unfortunately, I chose the cheapest shipping option, and the seller was from China, so the puzzle didn't arrive until over a week after Halloween. | $21.50 | $21.50 | $1,769.56 | $3.07 | $5.13 | $9.31 |

| 11/22 | It was about 5am, and I had just finished eating my pastrami and egg sandwich inside the Trumbull College gate on a stone bench. I was looking at some flyers on a board when I heard a voice, "Excuse me, sir, could you spare me some money please? I am so hungry." It was a hobo talking to me through the Trumbull gate. I gave him a buck, and then he said, "Could you please give me another buck for a donut, please?" Reluctantly, I gave him another dollar and said, "That's it. No more." He thanked me and left. Homelessness (and I suppose unemployment, too) is definitely a problem in New Haven. When Andy came to visit, we passed by and saw a hobo pissing against a wall while walking to Ezra Stiles College. Also, almost every day after class, when I'm walking back to Ezra Stiles, I pass by the "Flower Lady," who is a homeless lady who sells flowers (I think she picks these herself and wraps them with paper.), at the intersection of York and High Streets. | $2.00 | $107.00 | $2,071.57 | |||

| 11/23 | Onion Rings, 4-piece Chicken Tenders, and a Spicy Chicken Crisp sandwich - all dollar items from the Value Menu - from a Burger King in Gouldsboro, PA. More food at a lower price than just getting a Whopper (like I did the day before). Also, notice that getting two 4-piece tenders is cheaper than getting the 8-piece tenders. Silly Burger King. | $3.18 | $4.68 | $2,098.93 | |||

| 11/24 Tu Fri | I slept in the basement of William Chen's building (Carman) in a lounge on a sofa. I left my notebook and cell phone on the table in front of the sofa and my backpack on the side of the room with the power cord of my computer coming out of my backpack and plugged in to the wall. When I woke up, all my stuff was where I had left it, and I gathered it up and went back to William's room. Later that morning, I couldn't find my wallet, so William and I went back down to the basement to look for it and discovered it lying on the table where I had put my notebook and cell phone the previous night. The $15 in the wallet were gone, but everything else was there. I'm still not sure whether I left my wallet in my backpack or my pocket when I went to sleep, but I'm really glad I got it back with all the cards inside. I also had $100 hidden elsewhere, and fortunately nobody stole that. | $15.00 | $15.00 | $2,116.18 | $28.09 | $11.52 | $9.08 |

I promised him there would be a shuttle he could take to go from the hockey rink (aka The Whale) to Union Station and said if I were mistaken, I would pay for his taxi fair. I was mistaken, as we found out after waiting fifteen minutes, after which I called the shuttle phoneline and found out service up Science Hill (where the rink is located) doesn't start until after 6pm [and Ken's train was gonna depart before 6]. So we hailed a taxi and I gave him a bunch of cash to pay for his cab fare. | $15.00 | $15.00 | $2,492.19 | $20.14 | $5.70 | $8.71 |
