Day 80.
Although I'm sure being egged in the face by someone you are falling for is not a very nice experience, after watching the season finale of Glee, I would really like to have Rachael Barry's life. Sad as it is though, my life is not a dramatized television show and I do way different things than sing and worry about relationships. Like today I went to became State Farm certified to do auto claims, which you can make big bucks doing. The work is 12hr/7days per week but you pull in over $550 a day. If you can manage to stay on storm for lets say a month, you would make $15,400 minus living expenses. I think that kind a job would be a nice quick way to pay off student loans and get into graduate school. I went to the class with Jim and a guy named chuck who rode with Jim and me to mobile which is close to an hour and a half drive. Well in order to get the certification you have to pass a test and the end of the class though you have the option to take it twice. First go around I missed 5 questions on the test of which you can only miss 7 questions to pass. Jim passed the test by the skin of his teeth for he missed 7 questions exactly. Chuck, a man you used to be a cars salesman, failed the test the first time and passed the second time though I do not recall him disclosing how many he missed the second time. I have to admit scoring higher than the two grown men I was with tickled me pink after being so nervous yesterday about not being able to compete with the adults taking the class. I felt like I could compete with most all of them. The one problem is is that I accidentally told the instructor I was deployable, meaning I told him I was able to actually adjust claims, when I do not have a license to adjust claims. The certification I had just taken means you can work for a certain company in this case State Farm, but has nothing to do with legal requirements. Oops, my bad. I think I can acquire a license fairly quickly online though, not that I would be actually able to go on storm anyways. On the other hand I shall be at Troy in about ten days for Girls State! I just got an email telling me I was on the official staff list. I'm so nervous because I don't any of the other staffers....I suppose I will just have to make friends. I wonder if the fact that I know little about politics will hinder me in anyway while I am there since it is a political program for the High School Juniors that come....
