So given that the US is a republic, much like that of Rome – are we at the beginning of our “try to be an empire and spend all of our money” phase or at the end of our “tried to be an empire but spent all of our money” phase? I might be blowing smoke out my rear chute, but I can barely wait until I can ride my bike into work.
Well, I took the test. I can’t say anything else about it, because I’m sworn to copyright by ETS. I got a 570 and a 740 but I won’t know what my writing score was for a little while. I don’t think those numbers are good enough to get into UW’s masters program so I’d better get to studying. Oddly enough, I actually enjoyed myself. The 50 mile drive to the testing station was pretty annoying though.
For sale. Needs a good home. Will run great and provide new caretaker with hours of fun and exciting maintenance games. Is spontaneous and creative – wilse to role play the “just a piece of scrap metal” role. All in all, a great companion. Buy now. ;P Eriko, sooooooon.
Things may slow down a bit as I have more things to do and less time to write. I am enjoying my new job, my new commute is long, and I am looking forward to a new trip to Japan. ;P I will see my Eriko in 51 days.
My first wet commute. I can honestly say it wasn’t so bad – but it wasn’t so good either. ;P I tried a different bus route which took me right in front of the office. Quite nice. Unfortunately, I have to walk a distance to get to the bus – about the same distance that I have to walk from the other route to the office. I think I’ll start looking for that apartment soon…
