That’s where I see myself in ten years. Hopefully less than that. But you know, out of state fees are $40,000, so after UCSB I’m moving to facking Iowa. And I’ll stay there and work in misery for as long as it takes for me to be considered a resident. And then, my friends, that’s when my life will begin. Well, sort of.

Attention real life friends:
So I said I’d learn the Diva Dance from the Fifth Element this weekend, and I’m currently working on it. BUT IT’S NOT GOING AS WELL AS I’D HOPED. However there are signs of improvement.
