School is now in session!

Well, I started back to school on the First of April. So many changes have been made in order to accommodate my school effort. I quit a job to make time for studying and "class time." That was a big decision for me, as it lead to a lot of other choices. Here is a list of changes stemming from one choice made in my life:

I went back to school and then...
  1. Quit a job (I still have one though)
  2. Gave notice and moved out of my apartment (I quit a job, so now I can't afford the same amount of rent)
  3. Moved in with my cousin Henry who lived one exit away (hehehehehe)
  4. Sold my Jeep...
  5. Got a free bike and Pete fixed it up and it runs!
  6. Bought a bus pass for Alameda County Transit (Still need one for the South Bay though)
  7. Started school
  8. Applied for every random scholarship I could apply for, and even wrote a few essays
  9. Began Volunteering once a week
  10. Sold a bunch of things (iPod shuffles, skateboard, iPod Nano, etc.) so I could make some extra cash to do my best to stay up with bills
  11. Turned off my Blackberry to save $30 a month
  12. Cancelled my gym in LG

There are many other changes I have made, but those are the biggest ones. It is a lot to take on, but I am on my way to finishing my education! I can't wait to really build some momentum!
