Scattered Thoughts

At 8am this morning, Will and I went to look at a house for next year. It was pretty nice. It has a large backyard and a garage. It's a nice cozy two bedroom with colorful walls. The people who lived there last semester had a dog that they would just let run wild in the back yard.

Where is this house, you might ask? It's at 902 South Vermylia Street, just down the street from where Michael and Neil live now and where Tim and Kyle will live next year. The rent is fairly cheap ($650 a month / 2 people if I remember right) which is far less than what we pay now ($1250 a month / 3 people). It has it's own washer and dryer and basement that we didn't see because the power was off. There is currently nobody living there because they moved out at the end of the semester, but the lady didn't seem too rushed to lease the house.

A few considerations.

• It's right down the street from Hoosier Courts, which has turned into Drama Central. All I know is that if we move into that neighborhood, there will be no Drama allowed past the first step up to the porch. I mean, honestly, why do people still cause this drama? It's ridiculous.
• Street parking instead of visitor parking, definite bonus.
• It's a bit of a hike to campus, but if I buy an E pass, I can just drive to the stadium and take the X bus.
• IT'S CLOSE TO BRYAN PARK!!!

That's about it.

That's all the news that I have for you all today. We took some photos, I'll put them up in the extended entry as soon as I get home.

Peace out all!

It's been a long time since I've just flat out updated you all on my life, so here goes.

Tomorrow is my birthday. If you love me, you'll send money or buy me beer, or something. Money is the best option

I think my semester is off to a good start. So far, I've missed only three classes, two of which are optional and one of which I didn't want to wake up because I had a rough night. I'll find out how well things are going tomorrow after my first exam of the semester.

Things on the girlfriend front are good. I love her more and more each day. Things keep happening between us that make our relationship better and better.

Financially things could be better, and this is where the title comes into play. The last couple weeks, I fought with Fifth Third Bank over some overdraft fees; fees that should never have been debited from the account in the first place. Needless to say, the bank won, so now I have taken a vow of poverty in the mildest of senses. The main reason is that I want to get a good amount of money stored up so I can end up purchasing a 12″ PowerBook to compliment my 20″ iMac G5. There are a couple of reasons I want a PowerBook

1. I want to have a smaller laptop than the one I currently have (15″)
2. I'm ready to completely make the switch to the Macintosh, especially since I got Virtual PC working on my iMac
3. The PowerBook is the sexiest laptop on the market right now, and I like sexy

So there it is, I've said it, I'm completely making the switch to the Mac. The switch should be complete about mid summer.

If I can live on $20 a week for the next two weeks, I'll be well on my way with a $400 start toward the PowerBook — hence the vow of poverty "in the mildest sense".

Ice climbing this last weekend was a lot of fun. Our group of guys worked together well and had a lot in common. I feel like I've known a couple of the guys on the trip for more than just a weekend. The actual climbing was just ok, but the group interaction was awesome. Don't get me wrong, I had a lot of fun, but I think I built up my hopes just a little too much and expected ice climbing to be this amazing thing. To be honest with you, I like trad and sport climbing a lot better than ice.

I think that's about it for now. I'll update on more things later if I remember them.
