76 days to go

I am a Junior so i have already taken the CAHSEE. I have passed both english and math. Preparing for the CAHSEE wasn't hard but it wasn't easy. I didn't go to tutoring or the saturday workshops. But i payed attention during class, and did the assignments. But i still need to prepare, better than i did for the CAHSEE, for the CST's.
To be ready to take this test, I will study, and pay attention in class. I will also go to tutoring. I will do all of the review worksheets I get. Paying attention in class will also be the best thing to do. My goal is to get at least proficient on all of my CST test. I have a feeling i will achieve this goal.

Career Reflection

The home and car search had a major affect on me. It made me realize that to have the kind of life style I want I am gonna have to make some changes. Although I had over $1,000 left, I dont think this would cover my family needs. I would be happier if I had more money left over.
My house is a bit pricey, so I could probably find another house that is the same size but a cheaper price. I plan on having kids after I have settled down and could support them. So i would need at least a three bedroom house. Im sure I could find a pretty house in Huntington Beach that is cheaper than $579,000. Doing this would save me alot of money. The houses here didn't surprise me that much. I expected them to be pretty high in price. Some of them are way to much though.
Also my car is way too expensive. I could probably get a used one for less that the actual price. And if I can't find a used Range Rover for the right price I will just have to look for a whole different car that I could afford. I could most likely afford around the prince range of $25,000 and not $65,000. This project made me realize that I cant get everything thing I want, but if I get cheaper things car and house, then iIcould probably live the kind of life style I want.
