Jake’s Life

…on a few fronts. I got a new place squared away. It’s up in Lake City (not sure if that’s moving “up”, but it’s in a semi-nice area of Lake City at least). I met with new roommates who seem pretty cool, both younger vets who served in Iraq. I’m not too worried about dodging bullets if they have flashbacks, but if it happens then oh well. If you’ve been through something even remotely similar you would be a changed person as well. The rent’s great, the room’s huge, lots of closet space (including built in rifle storage no less), big multi-tired backyard with deck, and a projection TV in my bedroom. Yep, bowm-chika-bowm-bowm on that screen will be great.

I finished my finals…kind of. I had a lot of hours on my last paycheck (think over three weeks worth of work in two weeks), so my brain’s fried. I didn’t finish one of my finals, but I have enough credit that I should pass the class, unless the professor has some ridiculous rule of automatic failing for the assignment. It bothers me a bit, because I went from between 96-98% in each of my classes to mid-70’s. I know I am capable of much more in school, and my education means a lot to me, but I don’t have the luxury of focusing on homework alone.

Gammy is moving back to Seattle soon. She’s moving back in with my uncle, which bothers me twofold: She left his house last time for a reason; And this means I have to have contact with him.
