Well, my beautiful MG was being courted pretty heavily last week by a gentleman named John. In fact, we took the MG to a friend of his’ house, where it was prompt jacked up and drained of fluid! John wanted me to part with her for $3500, when he knew my asking price was $4000. I told him $3750, and since then – the cold shoulder! I’m not worried, however. I know my baby is worth it.
OK. If only I could concentrate, I know have a book on Lisp, an autobiography of Linus, Donald Knuth’s Volume 1, Perl 5 in 21 days, Taking the GRE, and Learn Japanese. Come on, Nick. Concentrate.
Well, since I’m not employed, I might as well make use of some of my time. Being an alumni of my university enables me to audit one class (for free) per semester. Therefore, I will be auditing Japanese 101. This is practice. I rushed through college, eager to get into the workforce. Now that I’m in the workforce, I find that nobody wants to know who I am, just whether the alphanumeric string on my resume matches what their data mining algorithms are looking for.
Tomorrow I will ask for permission to audit Japanese 101 at UPS, my alma mater. It is disappointing that I have already taken 201, but that was long ago. I won’t be too hard on my poor brain – especially after what I put it through. ;P
Well, it is not my favorite Tom Clancy novel, but I have finally finished it. This is my second attempt at reading it, and it was successful. I do have follow-through. I can show discipline. I can enjoy it too.
