Waiting

I feel like I'm doing a lot of waiting today, and this week in general.  As I write this, I'm waiting for a call from the mechanic that Ali's car is finished.  The car is in for it's 60000 mile check up and an oil change.  When it's all said and done the total cost will be in the low $200s, which is less than half of what this service would cost at the dealer, so in this instance, I'm happy to wait.  Another thing I'm waiting on is my grade from my international business class.  Apparently grades were due to the school by Wednesday, but as of now, they still haven't been posted.  I think I'm right on the cusp of a 4.0 in that class.  If I did well on the final paper and presentation I will get a 4.0, otherwise I think I'm firmly in a 3.7.  I will be happy with either grade but I would really like to get a 4.0.  I think the waiting for the grade to be posted is made harder by the knowledge that I'm right on the boarder.  I'm also waiting to hear from my business stats professor about the next set of homework problems.  I've got the homework done for this coming Monday, but I'd like to get the homework for the following Monday out of the way as well because I don't foresee myself having much time to work on it while my parents are here next weekend.

Oh yea, my grade for my business information systems class was posted a while back.  I got a 3.7 in that.  I'm really happy with that grade because I really didn't care for the course, given the way it was structured and instructed.

That's all I can think of for now, until next time.

Quick update

The Vikings...*SIGH*  The loss to the packers two weeks ago due to inept coaching was bad, but now they just waive Moss?  WTF?  Are they trying to finish the season 2-14?  There aren't even that many intriguing first round picks...sheesh.

Not too much is new out here.  We did spend some time with friends this weekend.  That was fun.  Comet got to meet their dogs as well.  The meetings went much better than I had anticipated.  Hopefully we can take Comet on some hikes with his new acquaintance's.

My parents will be visiting next week and I'm looking forward to it.  My Dad wants to play a bunch of golf which is cool because I haven't been able to play in a while.  Plus he'll pay ;)

Anyway, that's all I can think of for now.
