In this project for Economics class, I'm assigned a situation that explains my education and skill level. With it, I have to find a job, locate a place to live, find transportation, and create a monthly budget. In addition, each day I'll be given a card with either ad positive event, like a bonus, or a negative event, like repair bills, and I have to calculate them into the budget.

Education: AC/Appliance Repair
Skills: Maintenence
Experience: None, just graduated tech school

The first post of my new blog! I had an older account here, but its username is uber-associated with the 12-year-old, online jerk that I was, and I really don't want that following me as I turn eighteen and approach university. Plus, I want this blog to be something that my family and friends can read to keep up with me even while I'm far, far away.

Except now I'm going to have to customize everything from scratch all over again.

Oh well. Good things take time and work. :)
