JS from London is here visiting. We went out last night and drank it up. I don’t do that anymore, and I’m paying for it. Whatever. I’m officially unemployed now, so who cares? I even got my EDD paperwork in the mail yesterday. That was fast.
I also got my FitBit, and it’s pretty cool. It’s the cutest little thing, so small it could get lost, but it’s unobtrusive and fun. They have a great tracking system that is persuasive without being preachy. It makes me want to go walk 10,000 steps a day. That’s crazy talk.
I’m registered for three classes in the fall term. Yay for me. I am stepping things up a little to get this shit over with. I have been stringing it along and it’s time to make it work. I just woke up, so my composition skills aren’t exactly warmed up, but I have a paper to write, so I needed to do something. It should be a good term, and after this one, I think I have three classes left before I transfer out. I should hit the CSU in Fall 2011. Wow. That’s pretty damn awesome. When I started this in January, I thought I would be stuck at CCSF for another two or three years, but since I’ve made the commitment, it will be easier. More work, less time, harder and easier. Whatev. I can’t wait to study French all day every day. I can’t wait for an excuse to spend six months in France studying French with the French. I can’t wait for a chance to live and work there full time. Go Secret, go!
Looks like I’m gonna be working for RJ again soon. I e-mailed them last week offering my services, and they accepted the offer. I swore off being a contractor so many years ago, but this time, I have a more clear vision of what it’s all about, and even forcing myself to save half of what I earn for taxes only, I’ll be able to make it work and survive in the city while I go to school. If this does turn out for me, I could do it all the way through school, so I can go full time, day classes and everything. It’s a win/win for all of us, really, so why not?
That’s all.
