Ok…I just woke up so:

old thrift store t-shirt: $0.99  
Old Navy pajama bottoms (from the outlet, of course!) : $2.99  
bracelet I got from some junk shop on the boardwalk: $1.50

Total: $5.48

HA! Bring it on robbers, I’ve got nothing to lose!

wow, I completely forgot underwear (I _am_ wearing some by the way) Still, that only increases my total by about four dollars or so.

Sitting at a campus computer:

Shirt - $30  
T-shirt - $15  
Jeans - $30  
Socks - $3  
Boxers - $5  
Glasses - around $150  
Bead necklace - I’ll hazard a guess of $8, being a gift from my ex-girlfriend  
Watch - $5, which I’ve borrowed from someone else for the day  
Wallet - $20, plus the $25 I have in cash and the $2 worth of free coffee cards  
Swiss army knife - 15 euro, so that would be about $22 CDN, right?

Running total: $315

The real goldmine is my backpack, in which I have…

Four CDs - $80  
CD Player - $110  
Frisbee - $15  
Two novels - $60  
Digital camera from work - $1100  
Coffee mug - probably around $20, though I had to make a donation of $125 to get it  
Half-cup of coffee therein - $0.50

Adding in the cost of the pack ($65), the final tally comes to…

**$1765.50**

This, of course, doesn’t take into account the three kilos of research notes I’m currently toting around, which I’ll say cost me $7500, equivalent to two years’ tuition.
