What’s the best way to build one’s credit, safely that is.

I’d just like to share with you all some of the things that have happened in
the past few months.

As many of you know or don’t know, I’ve been so confused on my future, a
career, or even what college to attend. I’ve finally gotten everything
together, and I’m slowly but surely getting things together. In less than 20
days, I will be graduating with honors both from the state of Tennessee and
by the National Society of High School Scholars. After 13 years of hard work
and dedication, I’m extremely proud of myself to graduate with a 3.79 GPA.
I slipped up this year, due to my new position with Taco Bell, and I will
not be my classes’ salutatorian. Speaking about my new position, I
completely failed to let you guys know what has been consuming the majority
of my time.

My official job title is now “Area Coach”. I work for a franchise of 7
stores, in Tennessee and Alabama. I over-see all store’s management teams,
as well as train and hire in new managers for all stores, along-side with
Carlie and Lewis. I’ve been with the company for nearly 9 months now. I was
promoted to team trainer after my 3rd month with the company, and in
December I was asked to be my local store’s first assistant manager. After
meeting with my franchise owner, Mike Grisham, I was asked in February if I
was interested in being an “Area Coach”. I accepted, and after 3 weeks of
training in Atlanta I was officially promoted to an “Area Coach”.

However I don’t wish to continue my career with the company, only because
it’s not what I want to do in life. I’ve made three major decisions over the
past few months, and I hope it will take me to where I’d like to be in a few
years. I’ve decided that I will stay here in Tennessee and take on a double
major at a private college in HR and IT.

Over the last month I’ve traveled to 4 different states and I’ve been at
various conventions. I’ve been so busy, and it’s been so hard to do much on
the computer. But this past Friday night ended it all, and this past weekend
I’ve had a BLAST. I cannot honestly sit here and say I’m glad it’s over, the
tears have been flowing all weekend but they’ve been happy. I’m in Atlanta
right now, and I don’t have my pictures developed. But I do have my pictures
that the “professional” photographer took at graduation. They will be at the
very bottom of this post.

A few statistics to go along with the pictures:

I graduated with a cumulative GPA of 3.79, ranked 4th in my class. I
graduated with honors (Red, White, and Blue cords). I graduated with NSHSS
honors, the only one at our school (Purple medallion, and yellow cords). As
of right now, including my hope and lottery scholarships, I’ve received
$73,193 in scholarships which covers 3 years at a private university that I
may or may not attend in the fall.

What disappoints me the most is now I’ve had it for nearly 7 months I think (I may or may not be wrong on that, it’s been a long day) and the buttons are sticking extremely bad. I’ve never dropped the phone, never gotten water on it, or gotten anything sticky on it. I text quite a bit, about 8k messages a month. But I’ve never had any problems with the buttons on my past SE phones (The 810i and the w300).

So to cut to the chase, money is really tight right now seeing as though I’m graduating, already got my lease signed for my apartment, and just got a new 2007 Nissan Sentra. So if anyone has a QUAD band GSM cell phone, or knows where I can get a good deal on one please let me know!

Update: If anyone personally owns a w610i please let me know durable it is . A friend told me she’d sell me her’s for $163 with a 2gig SD card.

After taking a personality test at MTSU (Middle Tennessee State University), it appears as if I need to major in political science and/or administrative assistant. The results were based off of a 400-question test that went from how I’d handle situations in the work place, to computing, to basic management skills, to political situations. So much was covered in the test, took me nearly 4 hours to complete.

After looking further into career opportunities and looking at fellow peers on the Internet, I’ve found that I’m extremely skilled already in an administrative assistant in the IT world. My question is, is there a great demand for such careers out there in the world? I absolutely love managing things, and taking the lead in almost anything I do. Weather that be in community projects, helping manage and plan events, leading beta testing in various products I test, or simply being a leader when it comes to any project. It’s what I like to do, I like the responsibility and I’m always on top of things. If you remember my post last year when I quit McDonald’s due to a very long dispute, I was hired on at Taco Bell. Shortly after, not even two months I was promoted to Team Trainer. And in December I was very pleased to hear that I am going to be offered a spot on the management team in May following graduation.

I’m simply confused, and I need help when it comes to careers. Advice on this is very much appreciated, whatever it may be!

Hillary Clinton has won Arizona, Arkansas, California, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Oklahoma, Tennessee

New Mexico is the only state left to have a projected winner, but I feel that Clinton can make a come back. She’s only down a little over a thousand. Even though Obama has won many states, Clinton is still in the lead with the most delegates. Clinton has 811 pledged delegates, and Obama has 639.

The race for the democratic nomination is going to be very tough within the coming months. The District of Columbia, Florida, Louisiana, Maryland, Nebraska, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin all have yet to hold their primaries and caucuses. Those are going to be the key states that will decide if Obama or Clinton will be the democratic nominee.

I personally would love for Clinton to win the nomination, not only that she’s a stronger candidate to run against the republican leader, McCain. Obama doesn’t have a chance against McCain, IMHO.

So about 13 warnings popped up on the screen, and he called me over. He then switched the power strip off to stop it because he thought it would, before I could tell him not to. Doing so successfully deleted all restore points for system restore. Well I rebooted the machine, and as soon as windows popped up I got the first ever BSOD, which I didn’t read, just hit a key thinking it was nothing. Booted back up and windows finally opened. Needless to say NONE of my startup applications could open, because AVG had blocked and deleted them. I couldn’t even open IE to attempt to re-download AVG.

The virus vault for AVG was operable, but all of the files in it were not replaceable for some reason. I fiddled around for a few hours trying to re-gain access to IE, but nothing would work. System restore was gone, so the only option I had left was to format my machine for the first time. Everything went smooth, and now I’m here.

I’d like to know why AVG blocked and deleted itself, but technical support won’t help me so quite frankly I will never use their product on any networks I help administrate, including my school system’s computers. Will be un-installing AVG and purchasing Norton for about ~600 machines in the county, if it gets approved by the superintendent .

Stupid kids, warez is for neowinians!
