New Phones & Money Woes

obliviousally_ljWe upgraded our phones today. We thought we'd have to wait until August to do so, but our contract was up in March. So we ended up going with the Droid Incredible 2 for the both of us, since they were free online and had no shipping charges. Since, you know, we're broke and all.
I love my Pixi, but it'll be nice to have a phone that's still supported and updated, y'know?
Tomorrow, I get to play the 'call everywhere and beg for financial assistance' game because no one's interested in commissions and I don't start back at the bookstore until the end of the month. I have to, somehow, pay the rent ($525) for this month AND scrounge up probably $250 for the electricity, or it'll be cut off. GOOD MONEY MANAGEMENT ALL AROUND. Admittedly, I thought we'd paid up on the rent, or I thought we'd have our financial aid money by now, but summer aid doesn't come in until almost the end of the month.
It's even more frustrating because I've been putting lots of application in, on campus and off. I had an interview on campus, even, but it required a driver's license and I wish that would've been clarified when I submitted my resume so I didn't waste my time with it.
It's not as if I've been sitting around herp-derping the entire time. I've put applications in online only to get denial e-mails for a variety of reasons. It's so frustrating. I just was a steady job I can put up with that pays my bills. That's all I need.
It's even more frustrating when I offer cheap commissions and no one bats an eye. I mean, that probably has something to do with my lack of drawing lately, but I have a couple hundred watchers on both FA and DA, you'd think I'd get SOME interest.
