I am inspired by the floral blinds that hang next to the bed in the room that is not mine in the house that I do not live in.
You may choose to leave words of wisdom or plights of imbecility after reading, or pretending to read, the insignificant words that I have written. If not, don't worry, I'll still be around.
I have never been one to deal well with numbers so let me know if you add me-- say hello, tell me about your favorite song, where you like to drive when you just need to get away, tell me about your best friends, tell me about the time when you were dancing in front of your full-length mirror and someone walked in on you, tell me anything that doesn't make sense. |

Money makes me so stressed out. Join the club, right? All morning I have been figuring how many hours I will have to slave away during the school year in order to be able to pay rent, not starve, buy gas, books, and other "necessities". I had also toyed with the idea of writing for the school paper (I feel that it would be a good idea considering it is right in line with my career of choice). However, writing for The News Record is not mandatory, but I could make it work. I always find a way.
Fall quarter shouldn't be too demanding in terms of classes; I am taking six classes for 18 credit hours. This should be manageable. On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday my classes start at 10:00 and go non-stop until 2:50. No big. Tuesday and Thursday I have one class each day from 9:30-10:50. Again, no sweat. Because my Tuesday's and Thursday's are so short, I can afford to work an eight hour shift each day. So, if I transfer to the Kenwood Osterman, I can work at least 32 hours a week with my open availability on Saturday and Sunday. Working that many hours a week would put me at just over at $1,056 gross per month which is more than I would need (excess money wouldn't hurt). I am also thinking about keeping my job at American Eagle because I enjoy it a great deal. So, if I work there on Wednesday and Friday, from 4:00 until whenever, I can even make a little bit more as a "just in case" fund. This would leave me Monday to dominate school and get homework done for the week.
It might sound a little over ambitious, but I've always been a hard worker and I've always managed to work and do well in school simultaneously. I will have to run my plan by my parents, but they shouldn't really object. The only thing that really doesn't work out in my favor is Christmas season. If I transfer into the Cincinnati market to work for Osterman still, chances are I will remain in Cincinnati during winter break. It's not really a big deal for me to stay in Cincinnati, the apartments will be open and the drive isn't too bad, Cincinnati winters are not horrible. But, I really would like to come home for break just to save money on food and other little things. If I came home I already would have a job waiting for me; people all over my mom's district are fighting for my employment come Christmas (okay, well, three stores, but the point is easily made). I wold love to keep working at the store I'm at now, at Fairfield Commons, I mean, I could gawk at "Boat Shoes" every day as he passes by for his cigarette breaks. But, if I take the mindset of grownup, or as a boss, would I really want to hire someone and then set them free for the busiest month just to let them come frolicking back come January? I think, that if I were a boss in that position, I would probably lean towards, "Okay, fine, you can leave in December, but I can't promise you hours come January." That would be a legitimate response. Not one that I would like, but it would certainly be understood. We will see.
With that all said, I leave for Wadsworth in two days and I could not be more excited. I am so happy that I can finally have some time off of work (today is day 29 in a row) and I will be with all of my favorite people! Tomorrow is pay day and my check should be, for all intensive purposes, HUGE.
I have to be at work in a couple of hours. I guess I should try to figure out what I am going to wear today. |

| Moneyyyy. |

So, I'm about to be rollin' in the money: I love Cashcrate.com. This is going to sound really lame, and it is, but it works and I get money to refer people so just sign up and make yourself some money so I can make myself some money. All you do is fill out silly surveys and you get money for it; I got a whopping $10.05 check yesterday from the site (not a lot, I know, but I'm a rookie so I took it slow to see if it was legit). So, do us both a favor and click on this lovely link Cash Crate and make some moneyyyy. (If you sign up and refer people, you get $3 a person that makes at least $10-- you also earn 20% of the earnings of the people you refer and 10% of each person they refer.)
Aside from Cash Crate, I have been working like a mad woman for the past forever. My feet are sore and my bones ache. Thankfully I don't have to be at work until 4 this evening. |
