Well I finally got one GE class finished, at least I hope so. Although I missed a few assignments, did kind of a rough assessment of my grades and I think I'll be okay. I'm just glad I got World History done so I can concentrate on MIS now. It's a pretty interesting class actually. It has more to it than I originally thought. I thought it was pretty much a management class...I didn't realize it had to do more with technology and databases and such, so I think I'm going to enjoy this class. And that's pretty much my life right now...work and school. And Isaiah.
The other thing I'm concentrating on and making good progress with is paying off my debts. At this point, I'm just trying to get on top of things so I can actually start paying down the credit cards. I got behind on EVERYTHING when I got into a bad job situation. It went from PT to FT and back to PT and then to nothing! I don't think the owner even really cared if I worked or not, which was incredibly discouraging and really messed up my financial situation. I suppose I shouldn't have settled for PT in the first place. Believe me, I learned my lesson on that one. Anyhow, it set me back pretty bad and I've been spending half of this year catching up, and in January I should have enough to finally get caught up, thank God! And I'm learning so much about money this year as well, on how to be a better steward of it for the Lord and how to handle it more effectively. My overall plan (and maybe I should just post it so it holds me more accountable! lol) is to pay off my creditcards and car pmt by Jan. 2008. After that, I may either save for a year, or I might go ahead and move out, preferably in OC somewhere, anywhere from Brea to Newport on the East side of OC, since Isaiah lives in Riverside. I don't want to move too far away from him because of traffic. So anyhow, that's the plan in the nutshell. It can actually be exciting every paycheck to watch the debt diminish, even if it's a small amount! Cause every bit counts and gets me closer to that goal of being debt free.
Being single definitely helps financially right now. No extra expenses, not until I get more settled in my job and pay off my debt. Then maybe I'll be ready to meet someone. Believe me, there are many times I'd like someone in my life right now, but I know right now I don't have either the time or money for a relationship, so I'm being as patient as I can. Patience is a virtue, ya know. Man, if I was only as rich as these two midgets on TV selling real estate, then I'd be living big! lol Actually, I'm glad I have better focus now than I used to. I mean sure, I want to make enough to move out and even have my own place, but I don't need to be wealthy to do that. I want to do what, well, the Lord is calling me to do. I want to use the gift He's given me, the creative talent for His kingdom. Whatever happens with my clothing company happens, but whatever I do with it I do unto the Lord and for His glory. Yeah, I hope it flourishes and gets recognition and all, but only insofar as it can provide people with the tools to witness. If the Lord blessed me beyond that, then that would be awesome! I guess we'll see what happens eh.
Anyhow I better get to bed or I'll never wake up tomorrow! Saturday is like my sleep-in day, but I hate waking up tooo late! So goodnite for now. =)
