Law & Order Rocks!

Just wanted to put a more catchy title than "I'm still here". Anyways, I am almost done with this semester, but I'm not doing so well in German 101. The homework is no problem, (if I can get around to doing it!) but I'm failing all the tests! If I can do really really good on my final, I might get a "D" in that class. I know what you're thinking, 'Shame on you Michelle!' Well, I guess I better get to studying, but I am listening to Rammstein, their music is in German.

As for my two computer graphics classes, I'm doing pretty well. My teacher presented a job opportunity with a local magazine. I applied for the graphic design position and I got an interview! Then when those same people came into our class, I got a second chance at showing them more of my work. I was hopeful of getting the job, but I was competing with some of my classmates (and from both classes too!) so I'm guessing that I didn't get the job. They haven't called me. I really do need a job, and fast! I need to start thinking about my future! I need to think about where to move to. I know I'll have to live with roommates since rent is sky high and a single income will not cover it. I don't think anybody can live on just one income anymore! With the mortgage crisis we're having in this country, it won't be long til we'll all have to have roommates!

In the meantime, I've been entering a few contests. I won $50 from Taco Bell, it took a while to cash the prize check since I have no bank account. But when I was finally able to, I used the prize money to get gas, oil, and an oil filter for my car. I used what I had leftover to buy make-up, which has become a luxury item for me since I have no money.

Hopefully things will turn around for me soon. I really don't want to be living with my parents forever, but at the same time, I'm scared about the day I'll be leaving to live on my own.

Well, that's all for now. I'll be back later.

Take care everyone!
