I am debt free! Yesyesyes!
I've paid it all off ... my balances are zero.
Nothing stands against me.
*contented sigh
Oh, and guess what, Internets -
I got a 3.3 in my Statistics class and a 3.5 in Career Planning.
Overall I got a 3.6. That's a winning semester in my book.
:D
Debt, school ... these failures were corporeal manifestations of my worst (and most destructive) personal demons ...
I came, I saw, I conquered.

Yearend Update
It's been a LOOONG time.
The news:
I ended my employment with Michaels about three weeks into my first semester of school.
I had had another job with Yakima Valley School for months by that time - so maybe the decision was overdue.
I was employed with two companies AND I was a full-time student ... my life had gotten absurd.
My budget took a hit - but no worries, I'm still on track to be debt-free before January 1st, 2009.
In fact, I've already paid off $5,000 - I'm so excited! This will be quite an accomplishment!
The lease-break "Escape from St Louis" fee has already been paid.
They're going to send me a letter as proof that I've met their demands ... I'll be having that letter framed (maybe professionally lit).
My first semester back at school went rather well.
I made a few mistakes those first few weeks (Michaels, maybe?).
I never quite made up for that ... so here's the run-down of the grades I think I've earned:
Economics (5 credits) 4.0!!!
Statistics (5 credits) 2.9 (oh well ...)
Career Planning (3 credits) 3.0
I was pretty bummed about that 2.9 ...
Until I realized that I've probably added a whole half-point to my cumulative GPA - even with the C.
After all, I failed these classes the first time around.
Replacing a 0 with a 4.0 will have a tremendous impact.
Even replacing a 0 with a 2.9 will make for a positive change. :)
I pushed myself hard this semester.
I did ace every test ... I only missed a little homework. I'll be a better student next semester for the experience.
Speaking of - here's a list of my classes for Winter semester:
(You'll notice that I've reduced the workload somewhat - the gym class won't exactly require homework.)
Linear Algebra
(this is a post-calculus math class that I'll be taking on campus, 5 to 7 PM)
US History II
Fitness Center
(33+ hours of exercise at the CBC gym for a 4.0)
