Self
You know those days when you think to yourself...self, I think I should write an outstanding blog post worthy of many awards and the prospects of publication...self, you must begin your journey. Meh, me either.
I sit here, my somewhat smaller ass on the sagging green couch, petrified of my future. This job interview seems all fine and dandy. I could possibly make more than $5,000 a year. Lord knows that I could live off of $10,000 a year and be comfortably happy. I guess that's what makes this finance degree so special; seem to have gotten that knack of investing and budgeting money from somewhere. As I was saying, I'm terrified, eyes glued open, non-sleeping zoinked about this idea. It means several things:
1) I have to grow up. Blech, what an awful thing to say and think about.
2) I have to try hard at something.
3) I will have to be productive at least five days a week.
4) I will have to wake up early five days a week.
5) I will have to use words like money markets, OTC, diversification, solving for future value with the HP-10BII, and monetary policy.
6) I will have to wear articles of clothing that contain no holes, stains, wrinkles, or bar stench.
7) I can no longer watch 24 hour marathons of Law and Order.
8) I will have to give money to my parents instead of take it from them.
9) I will have to come to terms with my name being plastered on a huge sign. (insert Cox joke here for an alloted 2 seconds before I wrap your upper lip around your pelvic bone)
10) I will have to begin investing in things like insurance, 401K, a car that runs, and paying on huge sums of debt.
That is enough for me to not want to get off this saggy old couch for a long time. Self...what do you think of this?
ME WANT COOKIE. *drools*

You will make a wonderful Financial whatever. You can do it. I have had it, it feels so good to have that 8-5 with an hour lunch job.

Thanks Joe. :)
11:58 AMIm sorry to hear about the fact that you will have to 'grow up' Julie. Me and Kayla are doing that now. At our schools at 7:30 am until 4:30 pm, teaching our troubled youth, and guess what? We arent getting paid for it! Its still college!! Blech!!!!!!!!
7:26 PMWow Julerie, congrats on the interview. That´d be so sweet!! And I know what you mean about contemplating the real world. I have A LOT of time to do that down here. After awhile it starts to get less scary and really exciting. You´ll do awesome on your interview. Who wouldn´t want to hire you????
2:31 PMJJ--Nope, I'm not jealous of that schedule and not being paid for it. But it'll look good on a resume, right? I kid, I kid. Congrats on being focused enough to do that. :)
3:04 PMJaime--Thanks! Though I hope people will want to hire me, sometimes I feel otherwise. How much did you say it costs to go to Costa Rica? Perhaps I should just move down there...
The llama on the top of the page demands an update! :)
