So I've been here for quite a while now I suppose, and once again I am glad I do not live here. I have accomplished just about everything I hoped to while here.
I have played and beaten New Super Mario Bros. for the Nintendo DS. Not quite difficult enough I say.
I have purchased, played, and beaten The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess for Nintendo Gamecube. Also easy, but everything I suspected it would be.
That was pretty much all I planned to do. Now I have a whole other week and so many days to do other stuff.
And now for a story about the Nintendo Wii. On my second full day here, my mother had me wait outside of Target for 11 hours so I could get one. It wasn't so bad, and I got very comfortable while waiting. The end.
Wii Sports is a lot of fun. I have a Wii Fitness Age of 24. Rockin. I'm pretty good at the golf and tennis, ok at bowling and boxing, but less than spectacular at the baseball game. Alas.
Well, that is pretty much it.

Live from Saint Paul in Building 1, it's Monday morining!
I've got some busy times ahead of me for the next two weeks. First, but certainly not foremost, is the Christmas Party. As much as I am able to help provide for it financially, there is still the matter that I'm not allowed to keep food in my room under any circumstances, and I would hate for them to find and confiscate it. It is out of my hands quite literally, but I still wish I could do more to contribute to the Small Group.
For those of you who got the obvious reference that this entry's title makes, I will say there is a reason for it. I've recently recieved the opportunity to go to New York City to get an interview with Amtrak as a Clerk Typist. I'll be going out to inverview for this position on the 12th, which perhaps means that I will be missing out on House Church :( . This position is nearly perfect for me, since it requires all the things that I happen to be good at in life (i.e. Microsoft Office and typing fast). While I am no longer feeling anxious about whether or not I should go, I am still rather concerned for my safety and ability to survive in such an environment such as that. I think I will be ok in the long run though, assuming I do get the job (and since there will be at least four other people going for it, there is a decent chance that I will not).
I wish that was the only crossroads that I am at in life, but it is not. There is also a potential offer from my ever-generous Uncle to return to Texas and attend college with him paying for it. This possibility is especially tempting because it means being with my family again. However, it is also especially noxious for the exact same reason.
Furthermore, I have my first ever graduation coming up on the 14th, which is a bit exciting I guess except for all the potential work that has to go into it. Then again, I'll be in New York for most of it, so I guess it doesn't matter that much. Exactly one day after graduation I'll be flying on yet another plane home to Texas where I will spend the next two and a half weeks getting to know the people I am closest to genetically all over again. I'm looking forward to playing New Super Mario Bros. and having unlimited Internet access.
