Life has been busy. But what's new? Who isn't busy? No excuses.
I'm finishing my last semester (kinda) of my BS degree. That would be Bachelor of Science, not the other one. I'm graduating only kinda because I will "walk" still needing two classes before I am awarded an actual degree. I'm short my science credit and a general education business class credit. It's no problem, I'll be able to take these two classes in the fall of 2009 and get the degree in the bag. I've been thinking a lot more about NTS and their in-service program. I think I may take a few classes and try it out... make sure it is something that I'd like to do before some other greater action is taken.
I'm coming close to that magical time that I am lame-ducked in my position with SGA. Elections for the year of 09/10 happen the first week of March. NSLC is here on campus the first week of April, too. I'm excited for it, despite not getting to travel to another school. I've had my time at Olivet, and my time at Point Loma twice, so I guess it is only fair that the group gets to come to us once.
Before you ask, no, I haven't found a job yet. I'm pretty sure that as soon as I graduate I will just be an indentured servant to Marty and his garden. However, I have foiled an eveil plan set in place by Marty and Robyn to keep Cher and I here in OKC. They keep lending us appliances and services! They lend these to us so often that I believe that we have become co-dependant on them. I can just imagine this conversation:
Me: "Hey Cher, let's move to Kansas City."
Cheryl: "Okay. But what are we going to use to keep our food cool? And how are we going to keep our clothes clean? And what if I have the car, but you need to use a car?"
Me: "Crap."
See? Before we can move anywhere, we need to either buy a fridge, or get some money for a fridge, find a good place to do laundry, and move someplace where I can bum cars from people. Plus, this summer, I have a feeling that Cheryl and I are going to become dependant on the garden that is going to flourish in the backyard of M2R2 Properties LLC. See? Our hands are tied!
In other news, we are going through Financial Peace right now, too. Dave Ramsey is smart. He is smart because he is now a multi-millionaire telling people what common-sense decisions to make. We are working our way through the baby steps, and doing pretty well at it. We definitely are not as bad off as others in the class/on the videos in the way of debt and other bills. Of course, I am not saying that in a way that is "above" them, just in a way that is hopeful for our financial situation.
Lastly, I am excited that Andy and Cesiley are moving in exactly one block away from us! That means the Whitesides, Zochs, Morschs, Bousemans, and Michelsons are all within three blocks from us! It's like the dorm, but better.

We are in the "dorm" but we see each other less than if we were actually living in a dorm together. whatever. Dave Ramsey is a genius, but sadly his ideas work and save you money. We did the class and thought we could handle it without using cash and envelopes. Then I wasn't able to work and then I wasn't making any money and then we went back to the envelopes. It works much better. :) NEIGHBOR!
I hope you stay... I would love to be able to come over to your house and talk with you... I'm going to miss you not being in the office- HARDCORE!!!!!!!
Blog more. Study less. That's an order, Mr. Indentured Servant!
xoxoxo - Robyn (& Martian!)
I'm sure you'll find people wherever you move to bum off of since you guys are so nice. Or maybe you could become a free apprentice to someone in exchange for a fridge and a car every now and then. Or you can just form a co-dependent syndicat!
