In twelve hours, I'll be standing on an airport, awaiting the plane that'll take me to the other side of the world. It's a trip that I've been looking forward to for a long time, and made me wonder, what do hubskiers look forward to? What are you eager to head right into? And is it worth the wait?
I'm looking forward to hearing if I've made it to the next round of the Foreign Service Officer application process. I should hear in a month or two. I'm also looking forward to getting the GRE out of the way. I'm eager for this transition period to be over so I get move into the next phase of life. I have no idea if it will be worth the wait, but I'm optimistic that it will be. Have fun on your trip.
The guitar is a Gibson Maestro, and I have no idea what the amp is. I bought the whole kit for $50. I'm approaching learning electric the same way I did acoustic, start cheap, get something nice once you're competent. (Upgraded from some off brand acoustic to my beautiful Luna Classical Performance Guitar with Woodland face.)
I am pretty happy where I'm at right now, but I will say that I'm looking forward to being on the other side of a big move I have ahead of me. We sold our house and have been frantically trying to find a place to live, hopefully by Monday. That's a fast turn around given that we started on Monday. So, 1 week to either rent or buy a house. -Crazy. I'm also looking forward to the birth of my son. If all goes as planned, that will be in late February. It will be nice to have another fella in the house :) My wife and I are about to watch the final episode of LOST tonight, I'm excited about that. After that I plan on going downstairs to my studio and making music, I'm really excited about that. I think I'll open a bottle of wine to help the creative juices -exciting. Mostly though, I'm pretty happy to be wearing headphones, listening to fuffle's new part with my feet kicked up on my desk in my warm office. -Life is good right now :) Safe travels veen, I look forward to your updates about the trip. Soak it in pal!
Going to tonight's coding session at CrashSpace in Culver City. I need help rooting my old smartphone so I can turn it into a test subject for geeky ideas. Paying off the older of my two credit cards. This old credit card was originally my Sears card before it was a Mastercard. I paid off my last car note in September of last year (three months ahead of time) and have upped my paydown. Our apartment is surprisingly cheap, so my wife and I are using the difference from market rates to slam down our respective pre-marriage debts. We now have a better rate and air mile buildup on a nicer card (15% APR instead of 25%). As soon as I've paid off the old card in roughly six weeks, I can redirect that monthly outlay on the new card and putting more into savings. Conceiving successfully. (Shhh!)
I'm looking forward for my end semester exams to get over, scheduled till next Tuesday, so that I can get back to working on avarld. I think I have to rewrite the whole backed code again. Currently it looks dirty and chaotic. Also looking forward for its good reception by people. I'm looking forward to my third semester, first is about to get over, in which the real course, that is teachings on computers, is said to start. I feel hollow. The first two semesters are common for every engineering student, irrespective of their course. I have enrolled in Computer Science and have no subject related to computers the coming semester. I'm forced to study subjects, like school, which I don't have much interest.
I'm looking forward to not having to worry about finals so I can finally settle down and really dig myself into Starbound. But not before taking a week long break from my computer, because all this homework is doing damage to my right wrist. This is a weak thing to look forward to, but I suppose it's the simple things.
The end of the school term, when I can sleep and feed my sudden craving for beef jerky and Disney movies. Only a couple of days left...
