One more credit card down, one more to go

I'm halfway through paying off my second credit card, and I'm excited looking at my bank account. It's a feling of relief. I feel like "I'm going to make it!" I had a credit card with 0% introductory APR, and it's year of 0% APR is ending next month. I've kicked into high gear, and I've forced myself to pay off it's remaining balance as soon as humanly possible. If I didn't, the deferred finance charges would kick in, and I'd owe immensely. That can be a scary situation, but I'm glad I've paid attention to the bills that I come across.

My barber was talking to me about credit cards, and how he has $20k in credit card debt. He has 3.9%APR on it though using some balance transfers and such. Things could be worse for me. I'm on the right track. :)

And just imagine what a second job would do for me. It would be explosive. I picked up applications to about 5 different restaurants in Valencia, annd I'm going to fill them out later tonight. Monday afternoon, I'm going to take work off early to head back up to Valencia to hand them all in between 2-4pm. I'm not done there though, I also want to make callbacks to every single place I gave an application to try scheduling interviews, too.

I feel as if I've completely changed my lifestyle in a matter of days. Change can be instantaneous. I'm excited about the next week, and the weeks to come. I wasn't pushing myself before, and now I'm realizing my potential.

I even had some time to contact a couple DJ companies. I can't give up on my dreams just yet. You can't succeed if you don't try. I'm going to make things happen for myself.

And of course, school decisions about Spring 2009 from UCLA and CSUN should be arriving any day now. Mid-October is what I heard from UCLA. :)
