Hello readers!
Well, the hubby is back - and guess what? So is my good mood. Lol. *rolls eyes*
Anyway, we FINALLY have a location locked in. We'll be going to . . . *drum roll* . . . Fort Bliss. That's in Texas, barely. It's also right on the border between Texas, New Mexico, and Mexico.
Oy vey.
I really did NOT want to go there, but Brock is desperate to 1. get the heck out of this unit before he snaps, punches an upper, and loses rank and 2. work the roads like an actual MP. If the first hadn't been so high up in his mind, we might have gotten to go to Germany . . . but the report date isn't for another year, so it was kind of out of the question. Damn. That would have been fun.
Well, there's always the next time.
So now that we have a location, and a date, I can get around to planning school. Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of choices in El Paso. It's either UTEP (the University of Texas at El Paso) or University of Phoenix. I'm leaning more towards the latter. Mostly because, while yes, UTEP is extremely cheap for a four year, and it offers not just bachelor's degrees, but also master's. It also has bad reviews in terms of the academic quality, especially the accounting department.
We'll see.
Got a call from the mother-in-law yesterday. She is very worried about us being so close to the border. Mostly me. She doesn't want us to live off post because of the very high (75%) Mexican population there - she doesn't believe I will be safe. Maybe I'll take a karate or self defense class out there. Because I really don't want to live on post . . . there are some really nice houses in El Paso.
Anyway, right now I just have to focus on school. Which is what I should be doing at this very moment (I have a paper that is due today that I have yet to start), but we all know I'm very skilled at procrastination. :)
Haven't worked on my book in a while, but that probably has more to do with me reading my favoritest series ever (yes, I know that's not a word). That, as well as the lack of readers on the other blog lol. Much as I talk about writing to myself and talking to myself, even on this particular blog, I still see that there are some people reading it. Not so with the other blog. Lol. So I won't be posting my progress and excerpts on there, just mentioning it every now and then on here lol.
Anyway, it's almost eight, and I really have to get started on my paper.
Song of the day:
The Show by Lenka. :)
Ta for now dear readers. . . whoever you are lol.
