Airport!

Something interesting...and it seems to keep popping up more than usual. I have this whole airport thing going on this week. It's everywhere. The other day my dad's friend called and ask if someone could come pick him up from the airport since he wouldn't be able to get a ride until several hours later. Alrighty, no problemo...sounds fun. It'd been over a decade and a half since I'd been out there and I've been wanting to drive out there and kind of learn my way around (yeah because I had the mindset that it would be ridiculously complicated to navigate one's way while driving around...so wrong!) since I expect for my lifestyle to include trips to airport (though I still want to roadtrip to L.A. at least!!!). Anywho, yesterday I went to the library making my rounds for all kinds of millionaire-related books. By the way, fun fact: Warren Buffett, who was ranked #2 under Bill Gates on the Forbes 400 in 2006, drove (hopefully still does, heh) a 2006 Cadillac DTS. Man could have any car in the world but he chose a current Cadillac Deville (DTS). He's my kind of guy. ...though I still prefer a Cadillac XLR and intend on driving one soon. Back on track now...I was flipping through a biography of Rockefeller that I had checked out, and came across some objects that someone had left in the book. They were two boarding passes...with "26 DEC 04" stamped on them. My 20th birthday! I think that was around the same time (it was probably on that day) that I decided that I wanted to be a millionaire by age of 24.

Now for some fun!

Lesson Learned

Well I learned a little lesson the other day but it really was a reminder that LOA is actually working. A little over a month ago I had my first test in my marketing class. I knew that I had made at least an 80 or a B on it but there were enough questions on the test that stumped me, but I really wanted an A. I spent some time, especially before the teacher handed back our tests focusing on receiving a score of 90 or better. Received my test back and I had scored 92 which of course was an A. Then we had our second test just a couple of weeks ago. Oh boy, this one was tough test. I knew I had at least made a 76 on it...but that wasn't good enough for me. My Spring Break started right after I had finished taking the test and the break lasted for about two weeks. I decided to put aside the test in my mind during the break so it wouldn't haunt me too much while I tried to enjoy my mini vacation. Our first day of class back from the break was the other day, so I started thinking in my mind again about scoring an A on the test. I thought that it would be great if I made a 92 or better. But then I had these worrying doubts in my mind. I thought that a 90 would be great too and then I thought that maybe I should be more "realistic" about the grade so I jumped down to getting an 88...then skipped on down to an 84. As he was passing the test back my mind was trying to push down the "negative" thoughts and I started focusing on getting a 90 or better but right before I got my test I decided that I would be happy with an 88 because that was the lowest grade I could receive while still maintaining an A average in the class.
Needless to say, I made an 88 on the test. I noticed that he had actually added points on my original score, which had been an 84. Now, a score of 84 was the lowest I had been willing to accept during that whole thought process, and the 88 was what I had settled on in my mind.
Next time I'm not going to even think about any grade less than a 90.
