Upon looking at my degree audit for school earlier, I discovered I have 16 classes remaining before I can graduate. 5 per semester, and hopefully one during winter intercession, and I've got only 3 semesters left. I'm already halfway done with summer classes (and by that I mean one of them is completed and the other isn't).
One of my roommates moved out in May and the other is sort of moving out now. I say sort of because a couple weeks ago she was here packing up all of her things, and she hasn't been here since. But there is still a lot of her stuff laying around. She also left some empty boxes, so I've started just putting her things in a box when I find it. I think tomorrow I'll put it all in her room (which she left unlocked) because the manager of the apartment complex told me that if [manager] didn't hear from [roommate] soon [manager] was going to have the locks changed. I don't know what they'll do with her stuff when they do that but if I put it all in her room at least then they'll know it's hers and they'll deal with it, instead of leaving me to figure out what to do with all of it.
Anyway, I guess I'll have new roommates come August. August 14 is move-in day. I think I'll write a letter to my roommates and put it on the fridge in case I'm working or something when they move in. You know, introduce myself, lay some ground rules, encourage them to do the same, etc.
I've been meaning to write a post for a while and only just now got around to it, but unfortunately it has to be a short one. I have to go get ready for work now. Bye!

I might start this up again...
Surprise! A post. I'm sitting here eating lunch and thinking, "you know, I have things to say and nowhere to say them." Then I remember, yes. I do have somewhere to say them. I've just neglected it.
My inspiration? Lima beans.
There are so many foods that I never ate growing up because Mom or Dad didn't like it, and so I've never bothered to try them. I just default to "I guess I don't like that either." Brussels sprouts? Love them. Sweet potatoes? So good. (A sweet potato made its way into a pot of chili I was making last week and I took pity on it and let it stay there. I think that's the best chili I've made since I came back from the Netherlands.)
A couple weeks ago I was stocking up on frozen vegetables because my bank accounting was quickly emptying and frozen stuff lasts a lot longer than fresh. I grabbed a bag of baby lima beans; I'm not really sure why. I acknowledged that I had never tried lima beans and maybe some day I should.
Today while trying to figure out what to make for lunch, I was digging through the freezer and spotted those beans. I didn't do anything special with them; I boiled them for a minute or two to thaw/cook them a bit, then dumped them in a pan with olive oil and a chipotle garlic grill mix. Gave them a stir, fried them a little. That's it.
They were delicious.
Last Thursday I applied for a job at Walmart. Monday afternoon they called me for an interview, Tuesday (yesterday) evening I went in and did the interview, and today they called my references. All a good sign, right? I put off applying for Walmart for so long because I didn't really want to work at Walmart, but in the end a job is a job, and a little extra money to spend won't ever hurt.
