Yet Tearyne Is Ambitious…

Alright, you guys know how I love to save money and things like that. I’m a member of a couple survey groups, and I got $20 in Amazon gift certificates this last month. Paired that with Amazon’s 4-for-3 offer, and I just got a Hindi Alphabet, Grammar, and Vocabulary workbook set, plus a Hindi phrasebook for 9.97. Original price: 38.92. Baller!

Love me.

Working on separating the blogs right now, so hopefully, come the new year, when you come to this page it will be completely different. You’ll be able to navigate to my food, writing, art, and health and fitness blogs separately. I’m liking this plan of action. A lot.

I’ve got an exam to finish writing up today, as well as two papers between now and tomorrow. There’s some articles that I read that I want to link to, so we’ll see how that goes. WOO!

This blog is too general. I need to separate myself out into different selves. Especially with the blog. Bleugh. It’s making it so that this is a journal of all the things that I think (which I do need), but it makes it hard for people to target me for opportunities, marketing, etc.

So. In short, before I get whisked off to work:

One of the local community colleges has offered me a grant in excess of my tuition and fees for that school. Instead of going overboard and taking 22 credit hours at my University, I’m going to go to the community college and finish off my basic courses.

A big deciding factor in all of this is that I will be 24 this summer. Because of that, I will finally, finally, FINALLY be eligible for independent student status! I won’t have to rely on my parents’ financial information anymore, and that means that the university should be offering me many more grants, scholarships and – though I hope not to have to take them out – loans. This year I was supposed to receive free tuition, but due to the fact that I was placed on academic progress probation, I lost them. I should be able to get that back in the Fall and Summer semesters (WAHOO!).

It will also be nice not to have to call my parents and bug the bejesus out of them for my financial aid information.

In summary, that means that I’ll be graduating Fall of 2011 instead of summer or something like that.

ETA: Old post is old. I have more thoughts on this that I’ll post later.

Today, I got a lot of research accomplished. Apparently I am currently unable to sit at a computer to do my research with online resources. I need physical books or paper, so that I can lie in bed and outline, take notes, whatever. I work best in non-digital formats. I become absorbed by physical ones.

I need to get ink for my printer.

I will recycle paper to make up for all the print outs that I’m going to have to make.

I just realized that as facebook became more complicated, my grades went down. I thnk that I need television for entertainment purposes, because the internet is too consuming.

I’m getting cable, as soon as I get a roommate.

I did it elsewhere, but here will do. I overhead a radio interview with P. Diddy. The DJ mentioned that Diddy has so much that he has to accomplish each day, and he asked him how he does it. Diddy responded that he makes a to-do list with all the things he needs to do that day. When he wakes up in the morning, he sets forth to accomplish as much of it as he can.

At the beginning of the semester, I kept a to-do list for each day. I stopped when I stopped going to see my counselor, and almost immediately, my progress faultered.

From now on, I most definitely will be making and keeping to-do lists. For everyday, and following it.

A friend of mine and her husband are supposed to be moving in with me pretty soon here. It’s exciting, but I hope she makes up her mind and starts to initiate action soon. Them moving in will resolve a lot of loose ends that I have and enable me to do a lot more. Which sounds contradictory, having to share your space with others, but at the same time it will benefit me financially and probably mentally to have someone around and living here too. I’m going to be free on Saturday, to help her move in and stuff, so I need to let her know that. I’m planning on going out with friends, and I work tomorrow.

On top of my exams.

I want to write more, but it’s late (note: it was 1:00 am) and I’m out of room on this sheet of paper almost. But I’m proud of myself for journaling.

Last thing before I sleep: I am currently a student, and I need to focus on that.

So since I’ve been out on my own, I’ve had to take out a payday loan or two, here or there. I’ve used them in emergencies, and I’ve always paid them off on time and as scheduled – something that you have to remember when you take out any loan. After a very unfortunate situation with a roommate in Michigan, where I come from, my credit got shot to pieces.  I didn’t save up enough money before I moved almost a thousand miles without a job offer pending, and so I found myself needing a loan, but being unable to get things like a credit card or even a simple loan from a bank.

At Vjeranpas.com, they offer a variety of information on different Cash Advance Loans, and the blog has a very easy to use format, clean. There is lots of information available on the different pages, including tips on how to compare different types of loans, fast payday loans, no credit check payday loans, and No fax payday loans. There is a link on the front page that will take you to an application for a payday loan (which says that the online loan process will take an hour), but I implore you to take time to explore all of the information that the website has on payday loans.

Making a choice to take out a payday loan is not light. Most payday loans have a very high interest rate, but at the blog, they give you tools and resources to compare the different rates at different payday loan resources. All in all, I think the blog is nice and informative, though the site itself might benefit from a better layout. The info on the page is almost hidden, and if they had an article style display at the top showing the different articles that they’ve written, with highlights, it would benefit immensely.

Last week I ate random things without abandon, including the entirety of a chocolate cherry no-bake cheesecake by my lonesome. Not proud of that, but I am proud of the 2.5 miles I ran on Tuesday.

Time to shape back up.

And making a note of it here. Turkey didn’t turn out well this year (the dark side never cooked through), so I am planning on just cooking cornish game hens next year, maybe. We’ll see. Cornish game hen, roasted, skin not eaten
Calorie Count: 332.26

Another thing that I am planning on cooking is either almond (which I have the ground almond powder for) or cashew katli.

I started out at 216 and now I’m 189. HUZZAH for me! However, I am faced with the predicament that my clothes no longer fit. =/ What should I do? I am also in a position that I can’t exactly go around buying new clothes.
