it was about money

Today it became clear that the older students got to show more of their work at this art show, because they "need to sell" it. Nicole is a first year student and this is why they would not allow her to show her work. It was a money thing. Her professor even said this was so. The older students need the exposure and money. Lucky for her money is not an issue. She could sell her painting, but will hold on to it for now. And the fish jumped out of the toilet of “finding Nemo”, so she is bringing them home. It is for the best. And I'm going to see the show later in the week. Juergen goes to America in the morning. He will only be gone for a few days. I would rather go to the show later when the other classes also have their stuff ready to show.

I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.

The Opel Agilia

I think I don't want to spend the money for the VW New Beetle. It's a very cute and safe car, but cost about 17,000Euros new. I can find it for 13,000Euros (this is the most basic model) but that's more then I would want to spend. I don't really drive that much. I'm pretty cheep at heart. I need real value for my money. I keep thinking we really should take advantage of the money Germany is offering to trade old cars in for 2500Euros towards a new car. If I buy a car that's around 10,000 Euros, then the Government is actually going to pay 25% of the cost of that car. That's really a very good deal. Since I know I will need a new car in the near future, I feel I should get a new 10,000 Euro car. The Opel Agilia is around 9,900 Euros. It's got 5 doors, and room for 5. It is pretty safe, and comes with a 6 year warranty. I would not call it my dream car, but I could easily afford it. I'm trying to be wise here. There are other cars in thi
