My Tuition Plan

I have been doing a lot of thinking about saving money recently. It has never really bothered me that I have not been saving money for the future. I think now I am beginning to wise up a bit. With immature budgeting on my part and tuition costs, I have to take out loans to pay for school. I could have so much money right now in the bank, but I do not. I started working when I was 16 and the difference between the amount I could have had by now, versus the actual amount I have now, is huge.

Working My Way Towards a Career

I have been working at the hospital for four months now. After six months from the hire date, I am able to apply for other jobs within the hospital that are not in housekeeping. Housekeeping is alright, but let’s get real here; it is not the most exciting job in the world. After my six months are up in September, I plan to look for a job opening in security. Security is closer to what I want to do with my career than housekeeping. At least it is on the right track of law enforcement. I suppose you could be silly and say, “But you are ‘cleaning up’ the criminals. That has something to do with housekeeping”. Funny pun.

Wrong Name

So far my job at Parkview is going pretty well. I can say I definitely like the pay checks as well! Everyone I work with is nice and all the employees working in the hospital are cheerful as well. There is this guy in the gift shop that is super nice and easy to talk to. He always has something to say and always asks how my day is going. There is a funny problem though. He thinks my name is Curtis for some reason. When I first met him, I am pretty sure that I introduced myself as Justin. Yet, I think the second time I saw him he started calling me Curtis. I just let this go, because I think it is simply funny. I am wearing my name tag that hangs from my collar everyday! It has my name right on it, yet he is convinced my name is Curtis. There was a volunteer working in the gift shop I had not met yet, so he introduced me to the volunteer as Curtis. So now, I am known as Curtis by two people!

One Third Left of the Semester

There are six weeks left in the Spring semester. I feel like I am on track and on top of my schoolwork as of right now. I am finishing up the first draft of a research paper I had to do for English class. I am writing about the negative effects caffeine can have on the body. I still have a 7-10 page paper to write for philosophy class on a certain subject area in philosophy that I still have yet to choose. That paper sure will be a fun one to write…
