That’s my credit score. Not bad, but not as good as I could have wanted it. I decided to check today (using freecreditreport.com), just out of curiousity. If I’m going to Grad School, I`ll need a loan. I`ll also need a place to leave regardless, so I really should start manninng up, saving money.

The $1000 was the school was a blessing. I used it to pay off all but $300 on my Discover card. I was planning on canceling my never-used CITI card, but the report said it was a good thing to have 2 cards listed. What’s hurting me is that both my cards haven’t been opened but a couple of years or so.

God I feel mature.

Good day

Posted by emielli on Tuesday, September 9, 2008

I just discovered that the degree I am absolutely applying for (liberal studies), does not require taking the GRE.

The school just paid me $1088 in the leftover financial aid money, which I will use to take my boyfriend to the 42nd Street Oyster Bar tomorrow for his birthday (we will finally be the same age, if only for 1 month and 2 days).

I got paid on Friday from work $164.14.

It’s been a good day.
