Catching Up

Merry Christmas!

Well... this's been my longest gap between updates since last winter. It's not that I haven't had anything going on - there's been quite a bit on my mind lately. At the same time, I haven't really been that busy, either. I suppose that the greatest reason that I haven't re-posted is because I still haven't had a change of heart from my last letter back in October. I'm not nearly as frustrated as I was about my situation anymore, but nothing has changed, either.

~I'm eligible to take the Virginia Licensed Surveyor-in-Training exam once I have 3 years of on-the-job experience next April. The exam itself isn't until next October, which is kind of a pain, but they only hold the test but twice a year. At least that'll give me time to study. After all, it couldn't possibly be as tough as the Engineer-in-Training exam... right?

~My roommate is getting married this coming February. I'm in the process of finding a new place to move into sometime in late Jan./early Feb. Do I find a room with friends, or do I find my own place?

~My brother just graduated in Computer Science last week! He's back at home for the holidays before he moves closer to DC to start his job. In the meantime, it's nice to have all 3 of us kids together for awhile.

~I'm taking some time off around January 28th to fly back to Longview for a few days for Jayson Keidel's wedding. I plan on calling on a few old friends from my church, and see what's new at LeTourneau. I even hope to visit my grandparents who live out near Wichita Falls. My plans are still pretty open, aside from the wedding, of course.

I'll try to post more regularly as things come up.
