Turns out I really was crazy

So last time that I wrote, I has just started out with Coastal Vacations, right? And I said that I must be crazy for doing it- turns out that I really am pretty crazy because I have made no profit form it yet- in fact I am quite in the hole with it. Not to say that Coastal is not a viable business- I'm just not a sales person. So I have wasted a lot of time and energy into something that did not pan out. I even created a new website that is more user friendly than the one that travel makes you happy gave me. That alone has taken hundreds of hours of my time over the last few months.

I can't really say this is the first time I have done that- only this is the first time I've done it with money. I guess this is really a judgment of my character- I am quick to jump into something, waste a lot of time and energy on it and then still be in the gray area for a long time before ultimately giving up. I can't really say I am proud of that fact of my personality- but I just do not have to perseverance to keep trying and trying at something that is not paying me back. It's quite sad that I wasted so much time and energy, but also even sadder that I wasted my credit cards on it. I wish that I knew what I was getting myself into before I decided to jump in head first with all my clothes still on.

On another note, I have completed yet another 4.0 semester at Mason Gross. I have officially completed my Junior year of college. How weird- I am a senior in College! I can't get over how that sounds. God, I am going to be entering the real world in a year. It's a scary thought. I look forward to it though. As scary as it is, I am actually quite excited about the idea that I am going to be student teaching in less than a year and then a few months after that I will be teaching for real! I will finally be an independent adult. I guess this means I will have to look for a place to live because I do not think I would be able to live with my Mother once I get a teaching job. It would be way too weird. By then Gordon should have his own place and maybe we can talk about moving in together. I can't wait for that the most I think. I really have found someone special. In 24 days it will be our 2 year anniversary! Wow, I really don't have much time to figure out what I'm going to get him. But what can I give to a guy who has pretty much everything he wants/needs, especially what can I give him that I can afford to give him. If I were not in debt, I would look into getting the PS3 for him but that's a couple hundred dollars that I do not have. I have no idea what I should get him... I'll have to look stuff up on the internet maybe... maybe that's not a great idea. You'd think that I don't know him if I don't know what to get him- but I never was very good at figuring out gift ideas for even my sisters who I am the closest to in this world. Good luck to me figuring this out.

I must be crazy

So this company Travel Makes You Happy calls me yesterday and of course I always let the people who call me talk me into whatever they are trying to do... well not always, actually most of the time I can get myself out of it without being too rude (which of course is always my goal, I hate rude people so I do not want to become the thing I hate, right?). The guy on the other end of the line tells me that I can own a travel business online and all I'd have to do is advertise and that all the other work would be done for me. Ok, I'll bite. So he's talking all about how much money I could make- like over $100,000 a year- and that I get free vacations out of it- and I'm thinking, alright, what is the catch? I have to pay some amount of money- like $1200- which I don't have and I told him as much. So he says, sure, that's fine, then do you have $95 for the registration fee? well, not exactly, but I do have a credit card... though I do hate spending money I don't already have- the millionaire's mentality the guy tells me. So I take down his information so that just in case he's trying to steal my identity when I give him my information, I can have at least somewhere to start with it. Then I give him my credit card number and all that jazz and voila, I am now a travel agent...

Visit my website www.seetheworldtravellive.com it's actually pretty cool.

2 weeks left of winter break

and for some reason I am looking forward to getting back to New Brunswick. It's not like there's really anything I do down there other than school, but its just that I am so BORED and don't know what to do with myself since I wasn't able to get a job for winter break. I am just looking forward to having something to do everyday (almost). Next semester I only have class Monday thu Thursday, and sometimes on Friday. I have no clue what the hell that's about, but whatever. I am looking forward to it only in the sense that I will not sleep all day and then wonder why at 9pm I am exhausted from doing nothing all day.
