Blog Post #2

Summer has just begun and there's a lot to talk about, but I have to catch up with the beautiful spring Horizonia had, first. Completely contrasting the harsh winter, the snow melted, the sun came out and the rainy days just made the flowers look nicer. Business is in full swing now, and I'm gathering clients by the day. I've been doing prenuptials, notary, and overlooking contracts.But, I'm staying on top of it. Although, I do need to catch up with my bills, and soon. All in all, this first half of the year has been pretty great, and a great start to the rest of it.  I look forward to what else this year has to offer.

Town Self-Reflection #2

Clearly I'm very behind on my blog because this post was supposed to be made last week, along with the others I'm working on right now. The in-role part of town started last week, and it's even more work than I thought it would be. I'm trying to work on balancing business transactions and working on the other assignments. I haven't yet bought some key things. I haven't furnished my business, bought groceries, clothes, a car, or made a mortgage payment yet. That's the part that's overwhelming me the most. Just trying to balance personal assignments and business assignments is what's getting me behind. However, I've drafted out all of my job research answers and applied for all my loans and mortgage, so I'm not completely behind.

This past January, there was a brutal snowstorm. I was just on my way to work at 33 Main Street. The snow was billowing down and wouldn't let up. The traffic went on for what seemed like miles, and there was no way out of it. I wasn't even close to Main Street, and it had already taken me 20 minutes or so to get to the intersection at City and Jonah St. I realized there was no way I was going to get to my firm in less than an hour, or even longer, and neither would my clients. Suddenly, coupled with the snow was furious hail pouring down from the sky, that even left small dents on the roof of my car. I called my paralegal and secretary to tell them I was closing the firm for the day, and I turned around and went home; there wasn't so much traffic heading back. The year has been pretty good so far. I recently incorporated my law firm, which will save me a lot of money in the future, and I hired a secretary this year, which is making my business run much more efficiently. Hopefully the cold weather will clear up for a nice spring and there won't be too much rain.

Pre-Town Self-Reflection

Town is going to start on Monday and I'm finally getting everything together. I've almost completed my bank applications (mortgage, business loan, credit card), I've started my business sign, done most of my rough job research, have scheduled my job visit, and have finished my business model. I still have a lot of work to do though. In time for Monday, I have complete all three of my bank application, finish my business sign, fill out both job research sheets in rough, create my inventory, and complete my biography. It seems like a lot of work, but I've started on most of it and have a good idea of what I have to do. Although it would've been better if I had prioritized my work a little bit more during the two week prep. period we're given. I'll just have to catch up with everything before Monday and I'll be fine. I'm looking forward to what the actual Town experience is going to be like and as long as I stay on top of work, I'm sure it'll be fun.
