work.






I should be all done with school...assuming I passed the final.





I spent quite a bit of time this week working on a new cover letter, my resume, and collecting emails and addresses from a bunch of environmental and human rights NGOs. Today, I finally finished printing everything out and putting it all together. I am quite proud of myself. I sent out 8 emails and have 30 letters ready for mailing. Hopefully something will come of it. Even if the NGOs don't want me, they may pass it along to someone who would.

I also came up with a plan for selling my car and buying Emily's (Kris' wife), since he mentioned to me that she wanted to sell hers. I have a 1999 Subaru Legacy Outback and she has a 1987 Toyota Camry station wagon. I like her car a lot and have missed having an old wagon. Hopefully, I will come out with at least 5 grand to pay off a large chunk of my debts in the end. I got the car professionally cleaned today and cleaned out all of my crap. I made little signs to put in the windows and have an ad up on craigslist. Hopefully someone bites.

I have also gotten three leads on selling my surfboard today, which is three more than I have gotten in the past month that I have been trying to get rid of it. I hope that that works out, too. I also have some shirts to do, some stuff to transcribe, and I may be cleaning and organizing a stranger's house tomorrow, so that is all well and good.

school.

This week is my final week of class for my copyediting certification. I need to work really hard this week to complete the final projects. I am very excited to finish. After this, I will only have work. No more school. Woot.

bald.


Shaved the head.


Why?



Change.
Money.
Easy.
