Calvin is forcing every inch of his brain to absorb every inch of writing in the books...

The poor little thing has really been working like nuts..

LETS WISH HIM ALL THE BEST... We all know he will emerge like this in the end :)


Hi girls,
I was thinking we ought to settle some of our accounts before it's time to pay next month's rent. I think we should post a check to landlord for next month's rent by mid-next week, so I would like to close all pending accounts before then.
I don't think I have too many items which I purchased for the house - atleast, I cannot remember there being very much. I will try to hunt for the receipts - provided I didnt throw them out. I def bought the coffee maker - but then it's for my "personal" use anyway, so you guys don't need to pay for that. Just feel free to use it whenever! :)
May be we can have a rundown of your receipts later as well - just to make sure there are no objections (there mightn't be, but I thought it might be good to clarify which items are the so-called "house items" and see if everyone is okay with just paying for it). Democratic system ;-)
Separately, I owe you for the WSJ subscription and the $100 which I took from you. I have the $100 with me and will pass it back to you tomorrow. For the rest, I will do a bank transfer.
And that reminds me - please let's pass each other our bank account details (bank account no. i.e.) so that we can set up online transfers easily. I will play around with the settings tomorrow to see how it is, and will send a separate mail accordingly. We can all of us rotate sessions in posting the check - but we need to fix up a dates.
I say we post the check latest by the 28th of each month, so everyone ensure that their portion of the rent has been transferred to whoever's account before that day. Also, our rent is a weird amount - 2041 is hard to split by 3. So I propose we do this: Split the rent by 2040 (that's $680 per head), and the person posting the check that month will "account" for the additional 1$. By the end of 12 months (term of our lease) everyone will have paid the equal amount of $1's.
We can do a "lucky" draw to see who starts off the whole process :D
We can discuss more details tomorrow in the evening. Just wanted to get this mail started off for house-accounts.
