First of all I’m just getting over a cold it wasn’t really too bad just a little thing but I ended up leaving school yesterday after I took my exam which I got a 26/30 on which I was pretty happy about.  Yesterday I went to bed feeling pretty crappy but this morning I woke up feeling a lot better, but that soon changed.  I started to feel crappy as the day went on and since I don’t have class until 1:30 I didn’t go to dance today either which is the first time I’ve missed that class.  Apparently we learned a few new things in Salsa today which makes me sad.  But in general I’m starting to feel better now so hopefully it’ll carry out for tomorrow.  The one thing that sucked about being sick at the time I was is I missed a good friend’s 21st birthday last night and surprise party today.  Oh well shit happens I guess.

The next main thing on my mind is money.  I think this is on everyone’s mind especially with the economy in the situation that it’s in right now.  I have a job that I enjoy doing and the people I work with, but the biggest problem is that I work from home and don’t have scheduled hours or anything like that so it gets hard to coordinate with them especially since they’re in Chicago and I’m in Arizona.  At least it’s not as bad as it was now that there is only a 1 hour time difference versus the 2 that was in effect before.  But I am looking for something more steady not that I would quit the job I’m at now, but this is proving to be a nightmare with the state the economy is in.  Sure I could probably easily get myself into a McDonalds or Burger King, but no offense to people who work there but I think I could definitely get something better than that.  I’ve been looking on Monster and CraigsList, but this isn’t really working since everyone wants full time people or people that only work during the day.  I think I’m going to have to expand my horizons to restaurants and see what I can.  The biggest road block I’ve noticed with restaurants is 99% of them really want somebody that has some kind of experience.  Yeah I worked at a pizza place for a few months and worked catering with Joe a few times, but it’s not much.  

I guess the last thing on my mind is school.  I’d have to say this semester is a little rough, and I’m not doing as good as I thought I would be and I’m not really sure why that is.  Maybe it’s because I just turned 21?  Who knows, but I have found better study habits.  Instead of studying the night or even two nights before an exam I found it much much much more useful to go over the material for the week on the weekends even if it’s glancing over my notes which is why I think I did a lot better on the exam that I mentioned above.  Anyways I think that’s all I have on my mind for now. 

I’ll keep everyone updated and let me know your thoughts as well!

Hey everyone I haven’t updated since oh beginning of September and seeing as a whole month has gone by I really want to start this thing up again.  First of all school is going good nothing really new to report just taking each class day by day.  A little annoyed that Veteran’s Day happens to be tomorrow instead of today.  I would much rather have had today off considering tomorrow I only have genetics and dance both classes I don’t mind going to since they start so late in the day versus today which I have a class at 9:30 and one at 5:00 so I have to wake up early and stay late.  It’s all good though I respect our veterans and what they’ve done for us.  Now that I’m somewhat on politics.  I’m so glad this election is over and I didn’t end up voting for who I thought I would in the end, but I think Obama will do a fine job in office.  Home life is going pretty good not really spending too much at home with all the school and dancing I’ve been doing.  Dance is going great and I’m so glad that I’m doing it.  It gives me something to do on the weekends besides going out and drinking, which don’t get me wrong is a lot of fun, but it’s ridiculously expensive especially if you go out.  Dancing costs me $4 for the whole night and is an amazing workout!  I’ll try to update this every day or as things happen at least.  Leave me comments I’d love to hear what you’re up to!
