The Home Stretch
Today is the official start of classes for the spring semster for me. So far I've had my math class and my science class. I still haven't been to my lab yet, that starts in about 45 minutes. It sucks because my lab is 45 minutes after my class ends. At least it's only on tuesdays. I think I should be able to do well in both classes. I'm hoping to get A's in both, so that I can boost my GPA, and also so that I will be exempt from the math portion of the CLAST test. Also if I get good grades, I should be able to get my financial aid back, and get into UF. I'm really missing that financial aid this semester because right now I'm broke. I'm really broke. I've been trying to come up with ways to get money. I'm not sure if working more hours would be a good solution, because I need time to focus on my classes. I'm going to try to get to bed early so I'm refreshed in the morning before class. I'm going to try to do everything I can to earn those A's and get my education back on track. I was thinking about selling my Epiphone Casino and my Peavey amp on ebay. If I could get $600 for the guitar, it's case, and the amp, that would be cool with me. I'm not sure if anyone would be willing to pay that for it, but I guess I could put it up and see what happens. It's not an unreasonable price for what they would be getting. I went to NY for new years, that was fun. I got to fly, which is cool, cause you can go great distances in a matter of hours. That still amazes me. I like traveling. I would like to do some more of it when I get more money. I have a new years resolution to get out of debt, graduate from SFCC and get into UF. Those are my 2 resolutions. I'm not sure if the get out of debt one can happen, but hopefully I can at least significantly reduce the debt if nothing else. The passholder preview for Expedition Everest is later this month. That should be fun. I'm hoping to use the funds from the sale of my guitar and amp (if it goes down like that) to renew my disney and universal passes. I don't play the Casino all that much and I have my Marshall Half Stack now so I don't need the peavey either. I guess it all comes down to what they're willing to pay, cause I don't want to let that stuff go for any less that $600. I think I'm going to also go apply for the after school counselor posistion. Perhaps I'll put in some applications at other places too. I was thinking about Best Buy. Lowe's is getting old and I"m getting real burnt out on it. It's not so bad when I'm actually a cashier, but they keep making me a loader, and I hate that. I didn't apply to be a loader, I wasn't hired as a loader, hell I wasn't even asked if I wanted to be a loader. One day they didn't have one and they just assigned it to me. I really don't like it, so I'm going to see if I can get another job. The after school counselor posistion would be ideal because it fits my schedule, and it pays more. I'd probably be making the same amount of money, but I'd be working less hours, and I'd have more time to devote to school and leisure, which would be awesome. I'm playing a show on the 19th of this month, and I might even have a band to back me up. A few guys from school said they want to get together and play, so we'll see what comes of that. I've got my work cut out for me this semester. It basically comes down to paying the bills and making the grades. We'll see in April if I have been able to do that. Hopefully I will be. Anyway, I hope everyone is doing great. I'll try to update later.
