There is a good chance that the State of Michigan could close up shop on October 1st. We are in horrible debt, and unable to finalize a budget for the following year–or something like that. I guess it’s a good thing that I’m leaving the state on Monday. Maybe I won’t come back. Whatever the outcome, I’m sure it won’t be nearly as interesting as I would envision it. You know, mass chaos, rioting, the burning of the capital, the police being overrun by locals who are tired of their corrupt ways, looting, shootings, the uprise of the Michigan Militia and other such things. Maybe Michigan will become the first state to become disowned from the union.
I’d find and link some articles here, if I wasn’t horribly tired and in the middle of studying for an exam that I have tomorrow / today.
UPDATE:
I decided to stop being lazy, and went in search of a link.
In other news, you should be happy to know that I can now solve a Rubik’s cube in approximately seven minutes.
Instead, I decided to upgrade to the newly released WordPress 2.3. The upgrading process was as short and simple as ever, so I decided to relive the moment by upgrading Geoff’s blog as well (lets see how long it takes him to notice).
Next Monday (October 1st) I will be leaving for Japan with my father and my next-door neighbor. I’m bringing my MacBook along for the journey, and plan on blogging as much as possible in between taking pictures and doing some homework. I’ll be in Japan over my birthday (The 7th) so everyone who would normally celebrate with me, will just have to wait until I get back.
Really, I have. It started around 12:00 PM EST, and will continue at least until 11:30 or so. I’m working ahead as much as possible because of my Japan trip that is quickly approaching. I basically need to get every homework assignment, quiz and exam done through the middle of October. It’s doable, but I’d really rather spend my time doing something else.
Thanks to my Wellness class, I am now riding my bicycle again. The goal is half an hour after work every day except Thursdays (because of a night class) and Sundays (because I’ve been doing homework all day). I hadn’t realized how much I missed riding. Not that I am a pro or anything like that, but it’s the only form of exercise I’ve found that I actually enjoy, and it provides me a much needed break from the computers that I’m around for the majority of the day. Last week was week 1 and I rode approximately 37 miles total.
I bet I’ve listened to more music today than at any other time in my past. Seriously, it’s been going constantly since I woke up.
I meant to get out and take some more pictures today as well. Maybe this will happen tomorrow. Speaking of pictures, I had some prints made from shutterfly, and they as usual do an awesome job. I’m especially a fan of the 20×30 print of this picture: (dA link) now I just need to find a cheap frame.
