Hooray, Finished School! And Turtles..

So, if the turtle is in the bathtub, does that mean he is taking a bath?
This turtle REALLY looked like he was having fun.

Put yourself in the turtle's shoes: that bath tub looks a lot more exciting after being in a tank all week. This turtle belongs to my landlord. He was zipping from one end to the other, diving and turning like a kid released into a playground. I imagine he was playing "airplane" or something like that. Among other things, this turtle has managed to escape its tank on a couple occasions. The old "jumped the wall" excuse just doesn't seem to hold the same weight in this case. I am taking the position that, logically speaking, without any other explanation we really can't discount that one so quickly. I will stand my ground until someone has something better to offer.

I finished the stock trading program. I can't wait to get myself set up to start mock trading, and once I have established a consistent record of wins, I'll be trading live. That would be in three or four weeks, I think. Trading will end up being my main source of income. So, I am really excited about it. I was able in class to anticipate price changes and take advantage of them. On my last day I made a net gain of $0.74 per share, which means if I had 1000 shares, I would have made $740. All before 11am. A single morning's work. That is the kind of income I can expect doing this.

Monday I have to see if my laptop is fixed, and if I was approved for the platform. So I still have setting up to do before I can mock trade. Meanwhile I am supporting myself with clerical work. I hope to have my rent all paid off this week.
