Kind of a busy old day! Class in the morning that wasn't too very exciting - statistics and microeconomics. Microecon is actually getting more interesting while statistics is getting less; we seem to cycle in and out of very familiar material in stats so some days it is challenging to keep up and other days it is challenging to stay up. I did get some good academic news from the school, though, as my waiver request for OMS552 (Operations) has been accepted. This means that I have a core slot open in the winter semester for some other interesting class...potentially a more advanced operations class.
After class I did some school work at home, which is never a good idea because home is where procrastination happens. I cleaned dishes, I emptied trash, I piled newspapers, I read irrelevant articles in the Journal, and I organized my Outlook inbox, but very little tangible work got done.
In the late afternoon and evening, though, things cranked up again as Jenelle's search for a car came to its joyful end. After some frenetic internetting and phoning hither and yon, we decided to set out in haste for Bowling Green, Ohio, where a silver (technically Satellite) Pontiac Vibe lay waiting. She'd been looking for some time and this particular car seemed like too good a deal to pass up, so we drove the hour south and took care of business. At the end of the night, she had a car and I had Waffle House hash browns. Deeeeeelicious!
It's shiny and practically new - just 28,547 miles on the ticker - and loaded with a moonroof and stereo and powered interior niceties and keyless entry. It was and is pretty much exactly what she wanted.
