So, I am a single woman in 21st century America. With singleness usually comes a greater freedom to go where I want and do what I want (provided I can get the time off work). Guess what!?! When you are in seminary that is not the case!!! Part of being in seminary means that you are BROKE. Insufficient funds, in the poor house, etc. Yet, there is so much that I still want to do.
I want to be able to travel. I'm not talking about going to Europe for two months, or Australia, or forming a expedition to scale Mt. Everest. I am talking about being able to afford to go home once in awhile, go to WDW or even to spend time in Hawaii with people I love. Unfortunately all that costs money, and with the price of oil going sky high the price of travel increases as well.
For all of you that have been listening to me talk about writing my book for years now I have good news. I have a deadline to have it finished... July 7, 2008. It is going to be finished and a few copies of the manuscript will be printed!!! Exciting I know. Especially for me. I am praying that I can get it published and that the Lord will bless it, and just maybe I could use some of the proceeds to do some of this travel I want to do. Not to mention income from a book (which if u r not John Grisham or James Patterson it is hard to live off that income) would help pay for school (Dad will be happy).
Not to mention buy groceries! The cost of food is getting worse! Man alive! I don't mind not having all the disposable income that Paris Hilton has, or Bill Gates, but it would be nice if milk was not white gold. Get real!!! EVERYTHING is getting to be so expensive these days.
Maybe I will go live in the mountains with a cow (for milk) and some chickens! Ok, ok, that isn't realistic...too far from DC for this chick!!! Have a great day!
