School

School has been going really well. There’s a whole lot for me to learn, but I think I have done well so far. Right now, my GPA is a perfect 4.0. This is actually what it looks like:

Next week I have a huge test, it is worth 132 points. I got all my class work done early this week, so I hope to be spending quite a bit of time studying the materials that will be on the test. The first session of the semester is almost over. There are only about three and half weeks left – maybe a smidge less. Next session I will be taking two classes. Those will be review classes. I take my first psychology class in the first session of next semester.

Alaska Cruise

Originally, the plan had been for us to drive from Georgia to Seattle in get on the cruise ship and drive back home when the cruise is over. I was not completely thrilled with this idea, however, I was not going to say a word against it because, after all, the endpoint would be the cruise. I had actually even started looking at the map so maybe I could put to a vote in to stop at some places I had never been before. Things have changed. I am so glad they have changed. It turns out the cost for a round-trip ticket from Georgia to Seattle and back is fairly inexpensive for some reason. It actually would turn out cheaper for us to fly that would be to drive. So now we’re going to fly to Seattle. Yay! I’m sure that I would have found a way to enjoy the drive, but flying gets us there much faster.

The Content Authority

Several weeks ago, I filled out an application for The Content Authority. What they do is hire writers to copy-write. Clients will submit work orders to The Content Authority. Those work orders contain key words, and instructions for a set of well written paragraphs. Most of the time these paragraph should be persuasive paragraphs. Generally, the client uses what has been written for them to create webpages, and/or sell a product. It is not very exciting work, but it seems like most of the people who do it enjoy what they’re doing. A couple months ago, I found out that The Content Authority has finally reviewed my application and sample writing and decided I might be a good fit for them.

I get paid by the word, and right now the pay is extremely low. However, I do have the opportunity to work my way up and get paid more. I have already completed my first job assignment, the editors have approved it, and now I’m just waiting for the customer to pick up. I made a whole total of $2.01 for that first assignment. It is $2.01 that I did not have before.

I honestly can’t think of too many times when I’ve had such a great week. Even though the weather is hot, I have enjoyed sitting on the back patio.
