Got It!

So I finally got it! PC3980 is mine! But it was like a maze trying to get it! Here's the story in brief:

- Had the title overnighted on Monday (to arrive Tuesday)
- Called at noon on Tuesday to check if it got there
- Called the credit union to get the tracking number - sure enough it had arrived at 10:16am at the Wilmington DMV
- Called the DMV back - they gave me a run-around, telling me that they couldn't discuss the title with me, blah blah blah. It was VERY frustrating.
- I had to get the credit union to fax the DMV a letter stating that both my name and the credit union's name was on the title
- It turns out that the STUPID woman at the DMV wrote my name down wrong - she put Joseph, Jordan. Wow. Way to go.

I met Mr. Redding at the DMV and we did the transaction. However, when I went outside to remove my tag, the left screw wouldn't come off. I was with Greg D. and Brent du P. all day so we were all trying to unscrew it but it wouldn't come off. What happened is that the fixture that holds the screw in was broken - the nut inside of the fixture was spinning with the screw but we couldn't get to it. We went to Tom's house to ask his dad's help. He whipped out a little saw and - voila - it was fixed! My old license plate is all severed and bent up - it's a mess. Here's a picture of the new one:


We also saw this on the way back from KOP - incredible sighting!

It's 12:30pm and I'm about to go upstairs and eat "dinner". I have to leave at 1:30pm to meet Krista at St. Anthony's to rehearse from the 4pm service. I also have the 7pm and the 10:30pm services at Hope. Woohoo. I'll see you all soon! Merry Christmas!

Awesome Picture of the Wanamaker Organ

What a monster. Over 28,000 pipes, 6 keyboards, and a rank of 64' pipes. That's a seven-story pipe. I HIGHLY recommend going to the Macy's in Center City Philadelphia to hear a mini-concert ASAP. It's an absolutely incredible, surreal experience.

OH. MY. GODDD.

So I saw this ad on Craigslist for PC3980. I was reading it and thought to myself "Wow I bet this is expensive." I get to the end - it's $1,000. I email the guy and offer him $800. He counter-offers $900 and throws in the stainless tag so basically I got it for $800 and he saved me the aggravation of waiting a month to get a stainless tag! Pictures to come later...

DONE!

DONE COLLEGE! I'm off to work now - more to come later...

One More...

Well this is it. One more final. Tomorrow at 10:30am I will take the last final of my educational career. When I hand that baby in to the professor I will be officially done college and on vacation! This is really, REALLY exciting!

I've been spending way too much money, but what else is new?

Applebee's is good - haven't really been working much, though.

Mike is good. :]

Next time you hear from me I will be a college graduate!

Two More Days...

Well, two more class days, at least. It's Saturday, December 6 and I only have two more class days until I am done college forever. Wow. I never though this time would come haha! I'm really excited to move on with my life and basically just start the next chapter! I am about to apply for housing at Greenville Place in Greenville, DE (obviously) and I meet with my manager next week to discuss some final things and sign some final paperwork. Scary!

I have three finals this week and two the following week: BUAD100, HIST200, and PHIL204 this week and PHIL303 and CRJU301 the following week. I also get to enjoy Gary's company at the King of Prussia Ruth's Chris a week from tomorrow. That will definitely be a great time. Alsoooo, Wednesday 12/17 is the annual Christmas party at Elsa's house. That will also be a good time! Mike is coming down today to come to the Choral Celebration that I'm singing in. One more day of choirrrr.

Applebee's is good. I feel like I'm finally part of the work community there. In other words, I really enjoy going to work now :-) Last night (Friday 12/5) I went in at 4pm and three of the five computers were down. The Carside computer was up but Carside had to use it so that essentially left us servers with one functioning computer. The technician came in around 5:30 and fixed two more but there was still one broken. Grr! It's all good though - I made $84 with 11 servers on.

More to come later...
