I may be moving back to civilization!

Having done nearly ten months in exile, an opening at my old house may be opening up in the next few weeks and I've got dibs on the room! While I enjoy living by myself, the need to scrimp and save combined with only being in driving distance of anything cool meant that I hardly ever went out and spent much of my time alone. Again, I enjoy that, but only to some extent and it'll be nice to live someplace where there are people to chat with downstairs, and things to walk to down the street. The MAX is only a few blocks away, even! It only takes me 45 minutes to get back from a Timbers game, not nearly three hours!

As you can tell, I'm pretty excited. In the meantime, I've got school to worry about and a week long hunting trip for which my dad is picking me up tomorrow at SIX AM. He lives a ways away, meaning he will have to leave his house at around 4 am. That's lunacy if you ask me.

My classes this term are all online. That's nice because I wouldn't be able to do this hunting trip otherwise, but they seem to require more work than an ordinary class. I'll probably have to take a hit on participation points this week as I don't particularly want to drive into some hick town, steal a wireless connection and do some bs just for a few points after spending ten hours hiking in the mountains. I get paid just as much for Cs as I do As.

Next term, I've decided to go back to PSU, change my major to geography and use up every last bit of benefits. And since the new GI Bill has gone through I now have an extra 12 months of those bennies! As much as I hate school and am bored to death of it, it pays better than a minimum wage job, and I've yet to get so much as a phone call about one of those anyway, so I may as well continue. Hopefully the economy will have stopped sucking by the time I'm done.
