Oh my God! A post! No fainting, please...
Okay, okay. So it's been...er...five months. But I figured I'd give a brief synopsis of where life stands.
Moving to the East Bay: Well, hopefully, at any rate. Targeting March 1st to be closer to both work and school. Currently focusing on craigslist to try and find a place, but I'm a little nervous since I've lived with good friends for the last, oh, six years. Unfortunately, while I could probably afford my own apartment, I'm trying to hoard a bit for the inevitability of full-time school. Speaking of which...
School: Have full-time planned for next January. Still waiting to hear if I'm going to get an interview for the doctorate program. Which reminds me, I need to check to make sure they have the right address on the application. See, I submitted the original application for the masters program around the time I moved. When I submitted the doctoral app, they said I didn't need to turn in another form. I didn't think anything of it at the time, but then I recalled the timing. I'll go do that on Friday when I take my 2 credit weekend class. The Psychology of Coaching. Looking forward to it, even though there will be no relaxation this weekend.
Tech-geek stuff: Ordered an Antec Sonata case for my server this weekend. These things are supposed run at about 20dB and I was getting tired of falling asleep to the sound of a jet engine (okay, it wasn't quite *that* bad, but...). Can I just say that this case is sweet? Yes, yes I think I will. Really nicely designed and about as quiet as advertised! It doesn't hurt that it's also got sleek black styling. It arrived on Monday (paid for three day shipping, got it overnight...woohoo!) and...here's the real bonus...they shipped me TWO. And I only got charged once. :) So both the server and my Windows box got upgrades. Shield your eyes, for the white man dance beginneth.
And finally...a shout out to all y'all on the east coast, you know who you are. I shall be back to visit soon...
So, until I am possessed to post something again (which could be a while, considering trends :), I ride off into the sunset.
