I didn’t intend to quit smoking today, and I bet I’m not prepared to follow through on this. However, this morning I realized I am strapped for cash and I needed to pay my application fee to Pitt to meet one of my other goals (i.e. finishing my degree). At a pack a day, if I don’t smoke for the next week+a couple of days, I’ll have made up the application fee.

So, we’ll see. It’s been two hours; I’m already thinking a cigarette would be awfully nice.
