general update
I haven't posted in a long damn time, so here's an update.
I moved into my new place on the trendy east side of Milwaukee at the end of December, and it's great. Chris will be moving in with me in mid-March (assuming the rental company accepts his application, but there's no real reason why they wouldn't). He's still the best boyfriend ever in so very many ways, so there's not a lot to add to what I've already said about him. :-)
I crapped up the semester at UWM, so I'm taking this semester off to try to get a job and just get away from academia for a while. I would have dropped the classes I knew I was doing poorly in, except that I needed to be considered a full time student in order to be covered by my parents' health insurance. Thankfully a law was recently passed in Wisconsin so that I will have insurance under my parents until I'm 26 so long as I don't get my own personal health insurance or get married, but that previous requirement really crapped up my college career.
And tomorrow I turn 21. I am not entirely prepared for the idea that I'm reaching this milestone. But now I can buy booze and go into bars. I'm going out to karaoke with a bunch of my (and Chris's) friends tomorrow, so hopefully everything will go well. I don't know if I'll be in a drinking mood, but at least I'll get to hang out with friends and do some singing, and that's all I really want for a birthday party.
