Okay, so I'm pretty sure I was hypo for over a month, and during that time, I spent over a hundred dollars just on costume-making supplies for myself. I just decided that day that I HAD to make costumes, I had to make specific costumes, and I HAD to have all the stuff to make them ASAP. At least I had enough sense not to pay for expidited shipping, but still! It seems a little out of character for me to spend that much money at once, not including all the body jewelry I ordered prior to even getting piercings. I also took on a near-hundred dollar project to make a costume for my boyfriend's little sister from scratch (she didn't ask me, I offered). I mean for crying out loud! I thought I knew how to handle money better. And I rationalized all the spending on getting a bunch of REALLY cheap textbooks. So I'm not out of money yet, I just have to be very careful with what I buy for the time being, eat at the cafeteria instead of buying food to cook, etc.

I can't tell if this was hypo or just poor money management skills. Or maybe a combination of both.
