I haven’t posted a non-computer entry in a long time, so here we go. I’ve been relaxing over Spring Break, despite my 11-point list of things I wanted to accomplish over break (I’ve done 4ish). But, I feel much better than I did over the past month or so; passing ME 410 definitely made this week much more awesome than it was originally. I moved out of my studio apartment that cost $515/mo. to a much cheaper one – I’m shackin’ up with the girlfriend. She has plenty of space, and splitting the rent will save a decent chunk of money. So far, it’s gone quite well and I’m finally getting the apartment cleaned up after all of the mess around moving.

I hung out with Tammy the other day and went to a birthday party, both were pretty nice; it was good to get out of the house that I’ve been in for most of the week. Basically, my plan for the near future:

  • Coast through my last quarter at OSU
  • Find an apartment without seeing it, via housingmaps.com
  • Do the graduation thing, yadda yadda yadda
  • Pack up all of U. and my things and put them on a truck bound for Seattle
  • Say goodbye for the summer while U. goes to Dresden, bummer.
  • Get on a plane and fly to Seattle
  • Start working for Microsoft

I did find out several of my friends will be in the area over the summer (or permanently!), so that’s pretty awesome. I’ll at least start out with more people I know in Seattle than I had last time, which will be good. I’m still not looking forward to empty apartments though. I will however enjoy finally starting the next part of my life instead of langishing in the current one – that will definitely be exciting. And new. Excitanew, if you will. Now if only I can convince Crazy Timmels to teach in Seattle I’ll be good to go.
