Adventures of a Shockingly Average 30-Something

Well since today was payday, I threw more money at my student loans.  Hello paycheck, goodbye paycheck... The amount going towards all the different groups is set to go towards them today, while the $85 towards group D (which is the one with the highest interest rate) is set to go towards it tomorrow.  Since I've been making slightly larger payments (and I do mean slightly  larger, my minimum due is usually $268.48, and I've been paying $270) and I paid that extra $50 not that long ago, the minimum payment I had to make this time was actually only $208.92, but I figured that since I had the $270, I might as well put towards my loans what I've been putting towards them.
