Three weeks ago I posted a list of my new years goals hoping to accomplish all of them listed. However now it is as the carpet has be pulled out from underneath me and pretty well all my plans are up in the air. It has pretty well, got me wondering what I can do and what I should do and even how I should approach this unexpected turn of events.
Starting from the top of the list I posted.... getting a Job in the US is going take a bit longer than expected, so I doubt I can find one and get hired in Jan. It is out the window per say but it is definitely going to have to wait because I am taking a Hybrid course offered at Wyotech on Sunday's for the month of January.
I would be ecstatic if I could reduce my rent but it is a huge catch twenty two since in order to lower the rent I have to move somewhere further away from Wyotech which is going to cause more headaches due to the commute times.
Dropping my living my expenses has been for the most part successful, being able to drop it about $100 a month but I need to work on it a bit more to see if I can get it a bit lower without starving myself. We shall if it is even possible since I am unable to shop around
No news on the other two cars, which is good because I am quite busy at the moment.
I wish I could restore my 49' currently but I do not know.... it may be delayed.
The next few goals from six to ten are either going on presently or will have to wait till after I graduate.
As for looking for land near to home, I have had some mix results, good and bad. Yes I can get the land I want in the area of town I was thinking however I do not know if they will still be available when I graduate and even later once I have enough to go forward and purchase the land with of course having a little help from parents.
I am on the fence about going to the Northwest School of Wooden Boatbuilding. I would love to go, but it is going to burn another large hole in my wallet. I know I could put the skills to good use, but will I be working on boats a lot after... that is the thing I do not know.
The last two are also on the fence, since I honesty do not have an exact fool poor way to approach this without burning myself in one way or another.
Yesterday and Today has been quite interesting, the biggest thing of the most part is I have been studying what I feel enough but the last two exams I do not know how it happened but I was unable to pass them which is really bugging me. On top of that I found out today the plan of going on weekends to take Trim and Upholstery is out of the question, instead I have to go to a different Wyotech Campus. So my plan is to grab the ASM (Applied Service Management) and then work for the summer and in the mean time re-apply to go to either Wyoming or Pennsylvania to get the Trim and Upholstery. I could add Street Rod for the metal fabrication after ASM but, do I really want to go another three months? Eh probably not worth it because I am a black smith and I bet I could just figure it all out myself.
Somedays I wish I had a more mobility financially, so I would be able to buy a probably back home and not have to worry about. It also would help me considerably since after I graduate reguardless when, I am going to open my own business. As much as I would like to work under someone or be employed by an awesome employer, I would be restricted in hours. Personally I would rather have to freedom to work as hard as I want to do on my hours so I can earn my living. Hopefully by doing is going to make it so I hire employees on sooner, with a similar worth ethic.
