Festival

Mar 08, 2009 20:17

A long-awaited update for my two readers:

I'm currently thinking about how to get my bands ready for festival while watching Forex for my next trade. I pulled a 6% return last week. At that rate, I could be a billionaire in 5 years, before taxes.

Granted, that's not going to happen, as people generally do not have 260 consistent winning weeks. But hey.

Festival isn't going to be that great. The kids aren't working hard enough, and I probably picked pieces that were a little tough. I'm hoping to pull off at least an "Excellent," which would be the equivalent of a II in Michigan festival terms. I have two rehearsals to fix things up. I'm sure they will go relatively well, since the kids will probably actually be focused during those times. We'll see.

Then, spring break. I hope to stay up all night once or twice to see what happens during the busy hours for the Forex world. I also need to get car insurance, maybe get some check-ups with various doctors, and drink on St. Patrick's day. Allison talked about going to Tombstone, so we'll probably do that, too.

Did laundry at Betsy's house today. It smelled better than usual, but still not great. Her house, that is. We'll be living there starting next year for pretty cheap rent. Allison likes our place now (so do I), but living with Betsy will save quite a bit of money each month, which will enable Allison to buy a new car and me to buy whatever I feel like buying... like air fresheners. I'll also be able to save up for my second round of college, whenever that might be.

I will probably miss this place, or at least the comfort of it, but I'm confident in my ability to survive Betsy's with a thicker wallet.

I got a book on chart analysis to help me with Forex. As with most things, I am overly optimistic, but I found a site where people like me (wannabe traders) share their thoughts with some people who actually make money doing this sort of stuff. Right now, it's clear that anything could happen with a Forex account. I could make lots of money, I could blow it all, or I could stay pretty much even. My idea is to chill in Michigan for several weeks this summer, trading Forex to make money. Ideally, I would build up that account and just live off additional savings. Since Forex isn't really worth watching on weekends or holidays, its the perfect summer job. With my first trade today, I'm up 0.3%. 5.7% to go! (I'm still down 18% over all, but that's how the game goes.)

I'm trying to come up with a life schedule that will get me practicing/working out/paying attention to Allison/getting better at teaching/Forexing during my 6-7 hours of non-work time a day. Tough one.

That's it. Adios.
