Budget Challenge - good and bad news
So the good news is that your roommates did pay PART of their rent. Whew. The bad news is they didn't pay all their share, so you'll still need to cover more than you would have normally.
The Challenge ends on December 17th, so the end is in sight! Before then you'll HAVE to pay your rent, car insurance bill, credit card bill, and cable bill.
(You'll get a bill for your utility bill but it won't be due until after the challenge has concluded.)
Be sure to keep your participation up, pay what you can, and take whatever remaining quizzes there are. There's still time to get that engagement score up!

Week 6 budget challenge
So... we've had our first "unexpected event". If you never paid your renter's insurance bill, you're going to have to buy yourself a whole new laptop, is my guess. Regardless, the renter's insurance has a $500 deductible, which means that even if you have the better "replacement value" renter's insurance, you're still going to have to pay the first $500 of the cost of the new laptop. Bummer.
Anyway, there's a new quiz, as usual for this week, but I decided to be a dear and give you the answers. Pay attention, they flip around the orders on stuff so make sure you actually read the questions and answers before you make your selection!!

Resume & Letter Grades
Hey all, thanks for getting in resumes and letters. If you think you sent it to me but you still have a zero - send it again and make sure you're sending it to the correct email address:
LSVARA@NANUETSD.ORG Opens in a new browser tab -- note there is NO dot between L and SVARA -- and it ends in .ORG, not .NET
If you do have a grade and it's not 100%, your actual work was most likely just fine. You either did not use the correct email address when you sent the letter, and/or the subject of your email did not include your name and period number and just said something like "resume". The instructions specifically requested a certain format ("CFM5 - Jones - Resume" for example) and gave you the acceptable email address, and I specified that not following those directions would results in points lost.
If you were applying for a real job, and you couldn't type in an email address correctly or following simple instructions about how to word your subject line, you're already probably not going to get the job. That attention to detail (or lack thereof) can make or break your application. Even if you think "Ehh, good enough" the person on the receiving end of your email may strongly disagree with you. If someone takes the time to say "please do it this way" it is both careless and disrespectful to disregard their instructions and does not paint a positive first impression for you.
