It's Gonna Work Out Fine

It's way past time for the "first post of the year" post, but this is the first post of the year for this blog (how sweet). New man, new semester, new hopes. First, the new man. We'll call him Shawn. He is so wonderful. He's tall, caring, responsible, and a whole bunch of other good things. The only downside (so far) is the fact that we are in two totally different time zones. He's on the west coast and I'm in the dirty south. If it isn't one thing... I suppose it's a good thing though. My usual time frame for talking with a guy is a about one to two weeks. It's been two months with him. Is this the start of something beautiful? It could be!

The semester is fairly decent so far. I failed in getting my scholarship back last semester but this semester is already looking up. I'm the president of the Spanish club and I'm working on getting to be a favorite student of my adviser. When I get ready to apply for the Spanish scholarship, I'll already have a leg in.

As of today, my phone is once again shut off. As a matter of fact, it was shut off a few hours ago. The good thing: I have a work study this semester. It's only five hours a week but those five hours can go a long way. I've also set aside some of my pride and I went back to textbroker. I try to write a few articles a week. Last year I pulled in $363.11 from paid surveys. Unfortunately, I fell off track with the surveys last semester because I couldn't figure out how to balance my time between surveys and homework, but this semester will be better. I didn't do very many surveys between the months of October and December but I did manage to pull in an extra $10 - $20 each month from it. The storm is about to be over.

So far, my year is looking pretty bright.
