$$$$$$$$$!!

I got my 1st paycheck today.  Unfortuntley, I'm not swimming in cash (I only got paid for 2 days because I started paid training during the last two days of the pay cycle), but it's just enough to cover carfare for next week, and I was left over with some cash in my pocket which I put $15 of it in my savings account(I'd put in more but I had to have some money to eat and to do the laundry!). I almost had a little scare because they couldn't find my check at first so I had to wait. But an hour later I had my money in a form of a peice of paper in my hands. This is the first job I had in which I got paid the first week after I started working. In other jobs you'll sometimes have to wait a full two weeks before you get paid. That pulls the budget kind of thin espeically when most of that money goes to transportation. 

I also have to do computer classes for the next 3 days. The good thing about it is that this weekend I don't have to wake up before the sun does just to make it there 3 hours later.  I don't have to be there until ten which gives me more train options (and a extra 2 hours of sleep!). After 3 days of getting my eyeballs zapped by raidation, followed by 3 days off, Friday is the big day....

Now the next thing on my list is going back to school. I got the certificate of eligibility from the VA and now I can apply for school if everything works out I should be starting in sept.

There's something I've been wondering about for a while now, it seems like events either good or bad mostly happen to me on the 23rd. I don't understand why. Here's the list:

oct 23 1985-my mother dies in her sleep

june 23 1993 first job though summer youth employment

sept 23 1998 my first truck was rear-ended while parked. I was given 3,500 by the insurance company

(a few other things happened inbetween on the 23rd but I don't remember them all right now)

augest 23 2001 my grandmother dies(on her B-day)

may 23 2003 I graduated from army boot camp

june 23 2006 I got my first pay check from my new job after a little delay.

Sometimes I wonder what the #23 means. Oh well.
