Second Lab Practical

April 22, 2008   Filed Under: Boyfriend, College, Finances   252 words

I have my second lab practical for Biology on Friday. I printed 107 pages of slides today, and that is not even all the organisms that we have to memorize. Not to mention there is some of them that I still have to draw! It is so much to memorize in a semester, but I just hope that I do better than I did on the first practical. I think I will be subjected to doing stuff like this for the rest of my life! At least the rest of my life that I can think about right now.

I just cannot wait for all this crap to be over with and summer to be here already.

Today I took my boyfriend to go job hunting. Girls do things so much better…I got him two interviews. Next it is going to be my turn. I am not looking forward to working as much as I did last summer, but unless I can implement some kind of ad-scheme on here that would cover the many bills that I have. I wouldn’t mind focusing that 80+ hours (yes, I work that much in one week!) into my website. It certainly beats not being able to take a nap when I wish. At least I could do 8 hours website, 8 hours sleep, 8 hours website, or even four hour increments or something like that. It would equal a lot more sleep since I wouldn’t have to commute or take precious time getting ready. Hurray for pajamas all day!

March 2008 Blog Earnings

March 31, 2008   Filed Under: Finances   278 words

Here are the screen caps for March! I received $60 more than last month, but in all I’ve actually made less this month. Blogsvertise pays a month later, that’s the main thing. Things slowed down a bit at Smorty and Blogsvertise, too. I don’t invest much time at Sponsored Reviews since you have to bid for opportunities, but I do receive a task here and there.

Just like last time, the first screen cap is a donut chart of the earning distribution, and the second is a PayPal screen cap. The PayPal screen cap is of my withdrawals this time because Blogsvertise makes each payment separately so there were two pages of received payments.

     
Total = $426.31

What I have gathered so far is that paid blogging is not a reliable way to make money. If you are not careful, you will lose your PR and then your earnings will pretty much be halted. Then you will have to strategize in order to make money using affiliate programs, CTR and the like. It is easy and quick way to see earnings, though, since none of them (that I am a part of, anyway) have a minimum amount that you must earn before getting your money.

The Delayed Lifestyle

March 20, 2008   Filed Under: Car stuff, Finances, Life   382 words

Everything in my life seems to be put on hold lately. The fixing of my car has been delayed for tomorrow, which means that the fixing of my brakes (which is also a part of my car, LOL) has been delayed as well. Once my car is completely fixed I’ll feel much more secure driving it, and that of course relates to feeling less stress.

I had a relatively bad day yesterday. I don’t want to talk about the events that happened…but it was just one of those things that hurt your feelings and make you feel shitty but isn’t really that important because the bull came from people you don’t know well and won’t ever see again. You can tell I’m still a little pissed because I used the words pissed and shitty…words that I never say, let alone write.

My payment from Smorty is over a week late (although that means a bigger payout) and I really need it for something important. Yes, more important than paying off credit card bills, which I’ve been doing pretty good at. I’ve paid off two credit cards and transferred some of the balances from other credit cards to these since they both have 0.00% balance transfers for six months with no fees or strings attached. That means I can pay down the balances faster and just may be able to secure a loan come the end of the summer.

I’ve been putting off studying for Chemistry, which I really need to do since the last test has to be the test that is dropped. I got a 30%, which translates to an F. If I get 80% on all 3 of the rest plus the make-up test, then I’ll be able to get a B. If I get higher (an average of 85%) then I’ll get an A. I’m glad that the grading scale for this class is bumped down by 10…it’s 10% easier to obtain each grade.

I’ve also delayed putting Nadiyya’s plan of action into play. I’m just so darn lazy! You would think that I’d be quick at jumping on the bandwagon to making mega money…but I’m just a moron. A lazy bum. Sometimes I hate myself.
