no new updates really.

gonna try this new format of typing, inspired by http://www.aricwithana.com/

he's a great guy, also from oklahoma somewhere in between egypt and ethiopia right now. hopefully he makes it all the way down to south africa.

there is a blizzard today and it is beautiful. i didn't mind that my shoes and pants were sopping wet after walking to the bank.

didn't like how i looked like tammy faye bakker when i got home though (must buy ski goggles). then i hung my coat in the shower to drip dry and it scared the living daylight out of my roommate. she thought it was a person in there.

here are some pics that show my neighborhood today, thanks to http://www.newyorkshitty.com/






went to a testing center yesterday to see if i could get a census job.

don't think i can be an enumerator (those people that knock on all the doors in the neighborhood when everyone is sitting down to dinner).most of the neighborhood residents are polish and i can only imagine what i would think people with thick accents are saying with my hearing loss. i mishear my own friends' words all the time.

took a standardized test (btw, i love standardized tests. i also love being the first person to finish their test too). made a 98 on it. thank you christian heritage academy for having us constantly take the iowa standardized test.

hopefully i get a nice office job and can save up some money to take some courses at FIT or do an internship somewhere.

anyways, miss all of you guys and love you. i'm livin on a prayer and a depleting budget, keep me in your prayers.
