Well, here I am and I am eagerly awaiting the start of the summer semester. I finally managed to locate myself a job so that I can stay up in St. Cloud for the summer allowing me to take classes during the first intersession. I hope to be finished with school by the end of the fall semester.

Other than that, not much is going on. My drama with my right eye is over for now, even though it is only around 70% of what it originally was but it is better than nothing. I just hope I never have to deal with anything like that again.

It has been great to see the animals at my parent's house. My cat, Alex has been doing his best to get into trouble at any opportunity. His favorite pastime is to shred the rubber lining on the interior of the front and back door whenever he wants to be let out or just to be a nuisance. Alex is a pain in the ass at times but he is also a very bright and interesting cat. I would never part with him for a moment.

As I am writing this, my dog (Joey) has taken his usual spot underneath the computer desk. It is amazing how a one hundred and five pound dog can fit in such a small space and why he would want to try. I think that his canine subconscious tells him that it is a cave that he can hide in like his wolf ancestors of old. I also think that he does it in hopes that you will reach down and pet him in between typing breaks. You have to be careful not to accidentally run into him with the rollerchair or accidentally step on him.

My father is still being Mr. Methodist so as much as I like seeing my animals again I am in a hurry to leave this place. My lease does not start until the first week of June so I still have a week. To quote that old Tom Petty song:

"It's the waaaiiting that's the hardest part!"
