Back to the Books

My online classes started today. Oh Good Lord! ( Is it too early to be overwhelmed?) I was finally able to access the classes online today and now I am getting organized by writing down in my school calender the due dates of all the assignments. I have color coordinated my classes.

I have four folders, each a different color and in my school calender I have written down all the assignemnts and their due dates AND highlighted them with four seperate colors that match the folders. So during the semester when I can't event remember my own name, I know that the "pink" class assignment is due such and such a time, and the "orange" assignment is due, and so on and so on....

So when is Spring Break??

Emergency Fund Update

A quick update, I received a 100.00 dollars from Bank of Americafor opening a checking account. It was a reward for opening a checking account using a code (here is the code) which expires on December 31, 06.

I was a little concerned that I would not get the reward as it did take about 2 months to deposit into the account. It definitely was a nice surprise! Anyway, the 100.00 dollars plus the automatic transfer of 30.00 from checking is being added to the Emergency Fund. Grand Total is $3966.00!! Roughly 21% away from my current goal of $5000.00!!

You might wonder if I do use the checking account, and I currently do. I keep the rent money the kids pay me and stash it seperate from the "house" money. The rent money is for my tuition. Just easier to keep track of.
