Feelings

I feel disconnected from the life around me. This isn't anything new to me, but none the less, I feel it in and around me. I can't make myself connect. Frustration.

Happy Jesus-Zombie Day

Ok, as usual not a lot going on, but some updates none the less:

School: Just finished up my Photoshop class and should be finishing up my Lightroom class this coming week. I should sign up another class at Newsroom, but I kind of want a break and Real school should be getting a bit busier from this point on in the semester. Real school (MLS) is about 60% and I have another paper to do this week. Ugh.

Car/Truck: The Nissan is running, but I've opted not try and renew the registration since it's blowing more and more smoke these days. I had to cheat the last time around to get it to pass smog and I know the rings are bit more warn after two years now. The tires are nearly bald and I know I should replace the fan, bearing and shaft at this point. I suspect there's about $2k in work needed to get the Nissan back on track. But I've opted not deal with it. Once I track down the title it will go up for sale. If you can find a good engine or know how to replace rings, then it should really cheap way to get a very good truck. Honestly I've had it for over 3 years now and it's been bullet proof to me and never caused me any problems. I've been pretty religious about maintenance is partially why and good about getting anything fixed before it became a problem too. But after 190,000 miles the rings have just worn out. Again it still runs and if you're outside of Portland you won't need to get it smogged either! So expect it to go cheap.

Work: Have a telephone interview this week for on-call library reference position at OSU in Corvallis. If I can land this, I'd say work wise I have what I want and need till I graduate. Now to land the work. Ugh.
