Well, at least I found out

Yesterday was quite a day. Went into work in the morning to let one of my crappier employees go. Ended up firing him and three good employees. So that's a total of four employees, right? Well I only had seven. So now I'm down to three. Completely out of my hands, but still totally shitty. Then, of course, I found out from the University of Chicago, and I didn't get in.

Talk about getting kicked when I was down.

So this of course means that I'm working all weekend and quite a bit next week before I go to Hawaii, that's assuming I still get to go. I should know by Monday if I'm going to be able to get enough help at my store to be able to go. So much for having a nice relaxing two week break from school.

I just wanna know

I should hear back from the University of Chicago today or tomorrow. I'm going to be majorly disappointed if I don't get in, but it'd be nice to know.

Sarah has decided that she would like to leave the country, which makes me want to get into U of C even more, since I could go overseas for grad school. I'm leaning towards the University of Edinburgh or the London School of Economics. I don't really want to live in London, but it is a crazy good school.

I took my last final yesterday morning, as far as I know I kept the 4.0 for one more semester. Sweet. Two classes this summer, microeconomics and calc 2. I'm seriously a giant nerd. How am I celebrating my break? Going to the bookstore today to buy a book on economics that I can read while I'm flying to Hawaii.

Oh yeah, Hawaii. I'm going out to Hawaii for some national guard work. 13.5 hours in the back of a cargo plane. Thankfully, at least on the way there we're splitting it into two days. Which is also nice because of the way travel pay works-that's definitely some extra cash because of the extra time. Nonetheless, out of the 16 or 17 days I'll be gone, 4 of those will probably be spent in travel.

As the last piece to my ramblings, I've decided to start posting my writings on this blog. Unfortunately, most of my writings as of late have been about economics, which will probably fail to excite anybody. I would like to try and interest some new people to the subject, so if you see something a little dreary come up, read it and let me know what you think.
