I've been known to take on too many tasks at once. My senior year of college I stage managed a show, wrote my thesis, did some internship hours, and took comprehensive exams. I was really tired that year. Probably pretty cranky too.
Phillip and I recently went through all of our student loan stuff and figured out how much extra we could pay each month. When I left my old job I stayed on PRN, thinking I could pick up some overnight shifts pretty easily. I added it up and if I picked up 2 weekends/month we could pay off our loans in 5 years instead of 6. Seemed like a pretty good deal...until I actually tried it.
Staying awake all night was much easier than I thought it would be. Friday I took a little nap before going in at 11pm, drank a giant cup of coffee and was ready to go. I got to sleep around 7:30 on Saturday morning and slept until noon. I knew I should go back to sleep but I think I still have that little kid complex of "something interesting is happening somewhere! I need to stay awake for it!" I worked Saturday night too and pretty much slept all of Sunday.
I'm still feeling groggy today. So basically this weekend I learned that not feeling like a zombie > than paying off loans early but feeling tired the whole time. I think we both knew it wouldn't work but I had to try it anyway.
What are some things you do to earn money on the side?
