Never is so soon

Why, hello there.  Fancy meeting you here.
So, how is it going?
Things have really taken off these past couple of weeks.  School is really kicking my ass and also creating a social life for me.  This means that I am spending a lot more money than I normally do, but somehow none of this matters.  Mainly because I am now a manager person at work, which means a raise and a bigger discount.  It's funny how things work out sometimes.  It's all so crazy these days, but I wouldn't trade any of it.  I am loving every minute of the stress, the laughter, the good times and the bad.  I realize that by saying how good things are going I am pretty much cursing myself for some massive downfall, but who cares.  It will still be a good time. 
I just dropped a bit of money on this SEXY portfolio.  As advertisers we have to show our 'book' on interviews.  This book is usually big and made of leather.  I was willing to spend the $90 on one, but I just wasn't feeling it.  I heard someone say that your book represents you, so pick out one that you like.  After over an hour at Artmart I was just settling on a typical black fake leather book.  The real leather ones were over $300 and I refuse to pay that.  I walked over to a different section of the store and BAM!  like an avalanche there it was, my book.  Not exactly mine, due to difficulties I ended up ordering it off-line, but it's still the same one I saw in the store.   I think it was one of those intuition things.  My instinct told me that we were meant to be, and come 5-7 business days we will be.  It might not seem like a lot to you, but to me, it's sexy.
I am trying to find a way to spend next summer in Thailand.  Webster has a Thailand campus and I will kick myself for the rest of my life if I don't go.  It's proving to be tricky.  See, I only need 3 classes to graduate.  But I need 13 hours to be a full time student.  So I am going to be taking random classes to fill up my schedule as is.  There is pretty much no way to postpone graduation till August.  But, I am still meeting with my adviser to see what she thinks.  At least I can say that I tried.
I am still researching the possibility of a maglev system across the US.  I already have the ad campaign for it ready to go, so I would greatly appreciate the government and private business to hurry this process up. I did find this interesting report written in the 1990's about the possibility of a maglev system.  You can read it all here..  It's a hang on by the edge of your seat read, so don't say I didn't warn you.

Have a good one kids.

OR

As my friend Brad says, have magical day.
