Since I got home Sunday night, I’ve had a pretty busy week.
Tomorrow will dawm upon me while I’m sitting at the MUB waiting to pick Kim up. Apparently the MUB is the new bus stop for Houghton. I’ll help her move in and then, well… maybe I can try to relax for an afternoon.
It’s been busy, but maybe I’ll make it.
Well, I’m home again. I had a great time this weekend. Happy birthday again to my dad, he turned 51 Saturday!
Friday was pretty good, I played putt-putt for the first time in what has to be at least 6 years. I’m afraid that my score looked frighteningly similar to my bowling score (89). I also went to the Neil Diamond concert, which wasn’t as bad as I feared; it still is not my type of music though. Dad enjoyed it a lot though, and that’s what matters. Also, an old aquantaince has become a new friend, and that’s always nice.
I shot my dad’s Magnum .44 a few times on Saturday, I didn’t hit anything (I’d never fired a handgun before), but it was fun. We also spent a bit of time just hanging out and watching movies.
Now, I’m back in Houghton looking forward to a long week of work getting ready for the upcoming school year. Today saw the first freshman parent enter my office trying to sort things out for his son. It looks like Wads is going to be fun again this year. I really wish that we had a better way to handle which side of the room student’s connections are put on. Also, East Wads isn’t back up from the renovation yet, hopefully it gets done before orientation week.
Future plans:
Well, I’m back in Rose City, MI for the weekend. My dad’s birthday is Saturday so here I am. Tonight we’re going to a Neil Diamond concert, I don’t know how fun that’s going to be, but I think my parents will enjoy it.
Today, putt-putt golf (for the first time in at least 6 years), picking up my car and Neil Diamond. Tomorrow, ???.
Sunday, drive back to Houghton.
Monday, Profit.
This weekend Kevin and I drove to his house near the Minnesota border and we took a trip to the Mall of America. Let me tell you, this place is mind-boggling huge. It’s so big that it even has repeats of some of the major chains. It’s ridiculous.
The mall is so huge that it even has a theme park on the inside. The rides aren’t that great, but there’s only so much you can do in an enclosed place.
There was even a LegoLand there, let me tell you, I have a new dreamjob.
Other than that, not a whole lot to tell about the weekend, lots of driving, lots of relaxing.
For an update on my life in the job realm, read this.
This weekend, a few of my housemates and I undertook a project to install a fishtank into the bar in our kitchen. The hole was already there, so it was pretty much a process that consisted of:
We don’t have any fish in there yet, the water was far too cold and was only up to 65F this morning. We’re planning on going shopping this weekend after payday. We’re still not sure what we want to put inside.
Here’s a picture taken next to the pool table. You can find more pictures here. (That page will be updated as we put the fish in and periodically thereafter.)
