Lettuce Ketchup

Over the last 2 months I've:
Returned home to KS. It's good to be back.
Started school.
Loved school. I'm only taking twelve hours (or 4 classes) and it's amazing. I'm actually doing all the assigned readings, and really getting into the classes. I hope I never have to take more than 4 classes again. But in order to do this I'd graduate somewhere around 2020.
Not Found a Job. The reason I'm taking less hours is to find a job. And I can't find one. Emporia is a wasteland for employment. The only place I didn't try was Dillons, and that'd be a huge step backwards for me. I worked there for a year and a half, I worked my way up the totem pole from bagboy to fuel clerk, I'm not about to start down that path again. It'd be like redoing high school, you know?
Decided on a Halloween Costume. I'm Luigi and my brother's Mario. Finally, an excuse to buy overalls.
Started Writing Satire Pieces for the School Paper. I'm calling it "A Series of Emporian Events". Do you think that's clever enough?
Become Hardcore into Politics. Can you ever get too into the election? I'm debating that as we speak.

Life has been grand lately. Today my brother returned to KS after a month in Seattle visiting our sister. Turns out he likes it so much he's moving there for good. I'm bummed that he's leaving Emporia after only living there 3 months, but I don't blame him. He wants to figure out his path in life, and I know that journey can't happen in Emporia.
Ok, more to come soon. Promise!
