Piggybanks and Dreams

If there was a piggy bank for every person and a dollar for every piggy bank, how much could one save?

I got my roommate a piggy bank for her birthday and ever since then I have been thinking of what they mean.  Have you ever noticed that when you put money in a piggy bank (especially a cute one) that it tends to accumulate and stay there? 

What dreams could we fulfill if we were to simply save our money in them?  I could take that trip across country that I have always dreamed of.  My roommate could go visit her brother while he is stationed in Germany.  One could use it as a down payment on a car or just in case a rainy day comes along.  

Either way, it was a good investment and as I continue to ponder perhaps more inspiration will as well.  Ciao!

    

Spring Semester at College

I have officially completed the first week of spring semester.  Dang.  This is definately going to be a hard semester.  I am taking 18 credit hours which is the most that most people can take.  My roster includes:

Political Science-State and Local Government

Critical Reading, Thinking, Writing-Intensive Writing class

Microeconomics

Statistics

Media Writing-Another Intensive writing class

Spanish 201- Intermediate level

I am glad that this week is over.  It is definately going to be the hardest semester that I have yet taken but my teachers so far are really good.  I definately lucked out with them.  Thank heavens for Ratemyprofessor.com- If not for it and advice from friends, I would have chosen some hard and bad professors.  

Unfortunately there is a large amount of homework that must be done.  The pain and aggravation is worth it if it means that I can get a good job that I will love. I will do the best that I can and work hard this semester to get into my major.  Wish me luck.
