Long time no blog

It has been a while since I blogged up here. I usually like to do it when the mood hits, but at least once a week. I guess I've been keeping myself busy. After the offer letter came, I had to send it back and get all that paperwork moving and find a place to live. My wife and I want to get a house; and we are neck deep into that process as I type. More details may come.

I graduated !!! I guess I'm supposed to feel all-of-a-sudden different, but I don't. This time life has sucked that feeling out of it. When I was in high school, it felt all-of-a-sudden different. Like something had changed. I was moving to a different state (after moving into a hotel room), and soon after I would start college 600 miles away from my parents. When I graduated with my bachelors, it felt different, but not that drastic. I stayed in town, at the same school to my masters. But I did get married and move to a new apartment. Now that I've graduated not much has changed. I won't see my new job for more than a month; I'm still going through the motions of my old/current job. I'm still living in the same place; it's been two and a half months since I've seen the house we want to buy (and we're too shy to take pictures). What has got me down lately is buying the house and completing the job offer; trying to coordinate all the forms, deadlines, sign forms, get told by the school registrar to piss off (don't get me started!!), and talk to an increasing number of people about a start date.

I suppose I would not be so stressed about it, if it didn't cost so much for me not to work. Starting as soon as I can has put the deadlines on. I believe it should be possible get the house and start in January.

Well, tomorrow I'll get a school form I need for start date. That plus drug test results should allow a date to be confirmed. Once I get a date confirmed (which I really hope can happen before Christmas), the bank will be able to close !
