Maybe Going to Start

I may start actually using this and twitter, probably not twitter. Actually, probably not this. Hopefully, I'm going to start doing a weekly update with everything that's going on, which might not be a lot. For this coming week, I have to get started on a group presentation due in a couple of weeks. Luckily, one of the papers that was to be due this week was cancelled, and one of the others is going to be pushed back, probably to some time next week. 

I've begun putting away a little bit of money to be able to make the 2,300 mile trek home to Montana. Thus far I have $100 set away specifically for that purpose, with more in my checking account. Once I get paid this week and get a scholarship grant next tuesday, I'll put some more in. I expect the gas to cost somewhere between $250 and $300, and we will probably only have to stay in a hotel one night at most. 

My job search for the summer is still far from being complete, with 'complete' meaning yielding positive results. There are a few possibilities right now. I may be able to get in with a construction company in Butte, and I'm going to contact Spherion to see if they will have any full time positions for the summer. If those two fail, I have a fair amount of waiting experience which may be useful, if any of the local restaurants are going to be hiring. I expect picking to be slim, but I'm sure something will present itself.

If all else fails, I may have to become creative and come up with some sort of entrepreneurial plan to make some money. With the current economic climate, especially in Butte, I don't expect too many opportunities to be available. The lawn mowing market is probably going to be saturated, and most likely filled with people who have a comparative advantage. I may try to do something with recycling or anything else to ride the current push for consumers to become more environmentally conscious. If all else fails, i may have to start stealing manhole covers for scrap.
