June 2013: Plans, Plans, Plans

Calendar provided by www.free-printable-calendar.net
June has been an alright month for me.  I've gotten accepted into DePaul University, where I'll continue my studies in journalism, I made a conscience decision to cut out some people who aren't supporting me in my endeavors, and I pulled a muscle in my lower back.  I've been to the doctor and I have medication that will help me heal. 

I was able to go to a festival and the aquarium this month, which was really fun. I want to lighten up some of the photos before I post them online. I decided to list all of the skills I've acquired from every job and extracurricular activity and try to combine them all into a viable business for myself.  I'm doing some research on minority women-owned small businesses to get an idea of what niche I can fill in Chicago.

I also decided to look into timeshares. I would love to take a vacation with my friends (granted they actually follow through) to a place none of us has gone, sans computers.  I am looking into how timeshares work and which ones are worth investing in.  I also want to purchase a piece of foreclosed property.  I don't need to wait until I get married to do that, when I'm perfectly capable of doing so on my own. 

Would it be too much to get my business going, have the timeshare, a piece of property, and a kick-ass job all in one year? If Oprah can do something like that, I can, too.

I've done enough talking about my plans. I'm going to resume my research and putting these plans into motion. What's there to gain?
