Been a while
I should probably post an update? Let's see here...
1. I've finished my semester. It wasn't the worst one yet, no mono for one thing, but it was probably the most draining. I blame UMKC for that one, and I still intend to see if I can squeeze the money they owe me out of them. This leaves only the summer course before I graduate, a prospect that is beginning to excite me. After that happens, you're all free to call me "master" I promise not to be offended. Oh, and if anyone is having trouble sleeping, I'm still bursting at the seams with advanced matrix manipulations and would be happy to bore you into unconsciousness. Just give me a call. No, seriously, I'm even doing the damned things in my sleep now. And I don't mean that vague "I was a secret agent" kind of feeling you often get in dreams, I mean I was actually doing the calculations. And speaking of sleeping arrangements...
2. Kate and I are officially in a relationship. It says so on facebook, so it MUST be true. In case anyone is curious, we're doing what Kate calls "emotional monogamy", which seems to suit us both best at the moment. So I'm still semi-available if anyone needs any OTHER help getting to sleep. My only complaint about our relationship is that she lives in Lawrence. But, considering situations like some of the folks on my friendlist have to deal with, that's really not bad. We like a lot of the same things, she's nice and mellow...and profoundly kinky. And let's not forget the tattoos! So yeah, she's got a lot going for her, and we're having a great time.
3. I'm beginning to get nervous about finding a job. I do have a job, but it's limited to 20 hours a year, and I need about twice that really. So I'm looking for another teaching job, possibly two. I have a few places in mind, and my prospects are good, but job-hunting is NOT something I'm experienced at, so it makes me just a wee bit angsty.
4. I'm STILL in the process of learning to drive a stick, much to my frustration and embarrassment. Next lesson is tomorrow, hopefully now that I'll have time to actually devote I'll make progress faster. I think part of the problem is that I'm actually an excellent driver on an automatic, and the thought of being bad on a stick is humiliating to me. But there's no way to skip over that period and go straight to mastery, or even competence. Hell, I'm a teacher, I know that. Sigh.
5. Gilbert is moved out, he has just a small pile of stuff left here. Janet has expressed an intent to move in at the end of the month, but I haven't talked to her in a little while...which means nothing, Janet being Janet. Still, I need to get ahold of her and get her to sign that lease.
ummmmmmmm....that's all the news I can think of actually. Summer is indeed coming, so I'll be having parties again before too long, though they might not be quite as lavish as before until I land another job. Student loans you know. See y'all soon!
