SUMMER BREAK COUNTDOWN:
15 MORE WEEKS!
::sigh::
dayum, that's a hella large number. =/
and isn't that very sad. One week into the new school semester, and I'm already concerning myself with when the semester is over.
I'm not a rocket scientist (no shit, eh? @_@), but i reckon that's never a good sign, when you're counting down to summer so early in the semester.... =[
I know at the beginning of the semester I always say that im going to get raped in the arse by my schedule/classes, but this time around, i SERIOUSLY believe this will be the case. After failing my Business Calculus math in freshman year, I was off by three units, and wasn't considered a true "sophomore" until after this semester ended. So, i was thinking that I would catch up by taking an extra class this semester.
BUT...
not only are all my classes either CORE CLASSES for my major, or GEs needed to be finished before junior year, but there is a lot of reading this semester...
I bet for some of you out there in xangaland don't think that's a lot, but for a person who never really enjoyed reading "literature", this is a whole shitload... and it's just for one class. I would show you my reading schedule for my english and asian american culture classes, but that's just way too many pages to scan to show... @_@
I would skim or skip the readings, except... I can't
I've got some classes that are in "study group" format, and we have to do activities pertaining to the readings and stuff... It's not like i can just sit there and absorb information from the professor ::shakes fist at college of humanities::. Instead, it's group discussions and what not. I don't know about you, but i would hate to be the idiot of the group who just sits there and has a dumb look on their face.. (not that mines doesnt do that naturally, but still.. xD )
how nice.. 2nd year english [shitload of reading and writing], managerial accounting [@_@], and business statistics [i suck at math] all in the same semester... aye...
please excuse me while i make an appointment to see a dr...
humm..... maybe a doc like dr. kevorkian
haha, kidding... i think.. @_@
GHETTO AZZ BANKS... @_@
The other day, I was just surfing the web, and I found a bank that really caught my attention... Emigrant Direct [or "supposedly" it's a subsiderary of Emigrant Savings Bank in the NYC area], have savings accounts that are going at 3.0APY, that's being compounded daily. I had asked a friend living in NYC to see if he had ever heard of that bank before, seeing that they claim to have been in business since 1850. But to my dismay, he wasn't sure if he's ever heard of it or not..
@_@
But at the end, i jumped the gun, and i decided to enroll. I mean, it shouldn't be too bad, seeing that it's FDIC insured... haha..
you know how to confirm bank accounts, they deposit two small amounts into your account, for you to enter in to validate that you do own that account?
well, most companies after they deposit it, they let you keep it. But no, Emigrant TOOK IT BACK! @_@
@_@
oh well, i'm not going to complain..
but i WILL complain about this:
gotta love banks with their fees.. >_<
I found out the hard way what happens when you don't have $2500 in your account and make two too many withdrawals in the course of one month...
@_@
how sad is that? they're penalizing you for being a broke mofo. I had to review my account's info to find out that if you have less than $2500 in your account, you are only limited to 2 withdrawals within the month. and i realized it wasn't "the statement ending" months, but actual calender months...=/
moral of the story:
1. Read your account details before getting mad.
2. Instead of withdrawing 4 times @ $20ish each time, you should do ONE large withdrawal. That way, you'll get the same amount of money, and won't get slamed by them lovely fees that the banks love to charge.
what novel ideas, eh?
anyways...

How come 15 weeks sounds like so short a time....but it really isnt? ahhhhh *shoots myself*
yea and banks do suck- i wanted to open an account but my parents informed me i don't have nearly enough money to even start one lol Someone should start a "bank for poor people" where we can put our (small amounts of ) money
wow reading gilgamesh and beowulf sure sounds fun- good luck with that!!!
-Jun
you poor SOB! i believe in you eric! you read that iliad like a bish last night cuz i KNOW you didnt come back to AIM! haha. aww...
yah man, we have emigrant savings in NYC but i think it's one of those banks where you gotta HAVE money...aka not a bank for us
anyway, me gotta go to school in a couple hrs so ........ IM OFF! good luck with your readingness!
you've been gone so long neglecting your readers.. or whatever's left of them
kidding of course.
15 weeks until summer? thats like... a long time. good luck with that.
its a sheep herder. you know.. what i mean. k thanks
have fun at school! :goodjob:
Wow, that is a LOT of reading to do! But at least they're all classics or otherwise lauded books.
The Bhagavad-Gita was assigned reading in a world religions class I took. Excellent.
I hate--HATE--- bank fees. Bastards.
ryc: you're sooo right, the electric shock isn't nearly as bad when you grab some kind of metal super-fast. lol As for my idiot boss, that's part of what makes him an idiot boss: he's intimidated by me, so he never reprimands me or anything. In fact, when i ignore him or keep to myself, he apologizes to me, and asks me what he's doing wrong!
haha great lessons in life indeed. emigrant direct looks solid. fatwallet has some great reviews about emigrant direct here:
