Here's the drain: I decided to take this entire school year off and work, take online courses, and keep it real (in Seattle) and then take three quarters of school at SPU next fall, winter and spring, leaving me being a college graduate. Now, you might be thinking "aw, Tommy, that sucks.." oh contrare my good friend, this is actually the most brilliant plan of the 21st century. We are working the system so hard it won't even know what hit them. I'll be able to graduate with only three years at SPU and one year working and taking a couple of anonymous online courses for credits...that's at like twenty to sixty bucks a class. So, although, yes it is too bad I will have a year off great professors and constant intellectual stimulation, but, in such economic times I believe I just made the best choice yet.
So, while all my homies have been going to classes and doing homework I've been frantically searching for some full time jobs; applying to places such as: PCC MarketPlace, Theo Chocolate Factory, Space Needle, Irwin's cafe and bakery, Flying Apron Vegan Bakery (i'm not vegan), and to be a 911 switchboard operator. So far I've got nothing, but we'll see what the rest of the week brings.
The house is settling quite nicely. We have a lovely meal/food system set up, we'll see if we're able to make it last!
Mom and Dad are still jeepin' in Moab- so jealous.
Cynthia go
t a bike! In fact, she got two bikes! haha, she is doing just about exactly what I did with some guitars quite a few years back: got a bike, found a better one for cheaper and is now selling the first one. The one for sale is a super slick ten speed if anyone is interested. I've been riding it because one- my bottom bracket is shot and two- the extra bike i've been riding received a popped tire when I was downtown yesterday (leaving me to walking back across town with a broken bike).I suppose that's about it for now. I guess i'll keep updating this site for a bit longer, even though summer is gone and fall has come, just to keep ya'll updated with all that's going on.
Here is a picture of my roommate Nate studying.
