I'm moving to Milwaukee and going back to school, and those are things that are particularly positive in my life at this juncture.
In other news, Charles is going to China until December, and I'm considerably less thrilled about the prospect of that.
Right now everyone around me is playing Dungeons and Dragons and they're all staring at me because I'm typing at such a constant rate.
I'm going to live with my cousin Adam in Milwaukee; I think it will be most agreeable, especially because he will usually be in Beloit for half the week so I'll have all kinds of glorious solitude in which to ponder the nature of the universe and deep things like why anyone would paint a house lime green. I feel it will be productive.
I'm taking Chinese. It's a five credit class, but the entire semester covers what I learned in the first 3 weeks of class over in China. A's are eagerly anticipated.
The rest of my classes are media-related and I hope to derive a comprehensive amount of enjoyment from them.
Milwaukee is crime-ridden; I've been thinking about which gun to buy. My cousin found a pistol that fires small shotgun assault rounds. I feel that might be a good idea. Kabam! Quite.
I'm not sure what I'm going to do for a job when I get to Milwaukee. The job market isn't amazing, but it's not the worst either. I'm hoping that my previous work experience will qualify me for something that doesn't suck donkey balls, and that I will be able to adequately cover my various expenses while attending university.
After living in Madison for so long, rent seems obscenely cheap in Milwaukee. I'm seeing huge two bedrooms for around $600/m, which probably would cost around $1000/m in Madison. This is indeed a fact to celebrate.
So it's a draw, leaning towards positive. I can live with that.
