Snow Days

Well, one of my classes was cancelled today, but not all of them. Either way, that gives me three hours with nothing to do but work on my homework, which I'm nearly done with, and play around on the internet.

Last night I got a message from my dad on Facebook about a website called WebValuer. He said that he found it and typed in joshlaughlin.com, and guess what? My site is worth 322.50! If I sold joshlaughlin.com right now, which I'm not apt to do, I would be able to make a quick three hundred dollars.

Either way, that got me thinking: how else can I make money on this site that I'm paying each year to upkeep? I decided to look into ways to advertise on my site so that I can actually make bring money in since I'm paying for the website.

I was pretty excited to hear that joshlaughlin.com, which is a newer site and made by me, an amatuer at web design at best, is valued higher than Laughlinsinpa.com, my dad's web site. In fact, laughlinsinpa.com did not even show up with a value!

Either way, I spent a lot of time last night bringing my web site up to speed so that it would look better and be more likely to be approved when the advertising companies look at it to decide if I can advertise on my site. In fact, I was up until after three working, and didn't fall asleep until nearly four. I woke up today just in time to get dressed, pour a cup of coffee, and run out the door for physics.

Speaking of coffee, I'm quite literally running off of coffee right now. I've had three cups, and without it I think I'd be dead asleep. I'm going to crash tonight. Early bed time for Josh.

Hm, did I mention yet that I got a 4.0 GPA last semester? I was very excited, and I dove right into my classes this semester, just to get out of the water right away and go home for Megan's birthday on January 18. I put myself really behind on my homework, and it took me the rest of last week to catch up. The good news is, though, that I'm basically caught up now, so I'm not as stressed. However, this week has been stressful in that I've been unable to get a good night's sleep and have been getting up late. Then I feel rushed, which is when I start forgetting things. I've locked myself out of my room twice already this week, and I missed lunch on Monday because of it. My meal card is attached to my keys, which I left in my room, and without it or them I could not eat. Darn.

Either way, I know it's been awhile since I last posted, but, honestly this time, I think I'm going to get back into this for a little while. I've got a little bit more free time this semester and I should be able to post at least once a week. The stories may not be that interesting, but who knows? Cool things happen to me all the time that I never report.

Welp, that's all I got. Thanks.

Later,
Joshua
