Final Exams

Erin was annoyed, but she didn't want to let seeing Daniel ruin her night.

She had made a good impression at dinner and handled herself in a mature way. So she was proud of herself and she felt like she wasn't scared to start work after graduation.

Erin continued to push herself over the next few weeks. She studied hard every night and stayed late in the library to have some quiet time.

Final exams were after a week and Aunt Mei was still living with them. Erin couldn't stand seeing her, so she would spend most of her time walking in the park or in coffee shops.

Erin was using the wifi at a coffee shop to search online for apartments to rent. They were all really expensive and Erin knew her salary wouldn't cover it.

She had her visa card from mom, but mom would stop sending an allowance after graduation. Mrs.Parker wanted Erin to become more independent and in her words that meant also becoming financially independent.
