It&#8217;s not much fun at all. But, it&#8217;s rather nice when I make it through a round of paying rent, bills, and balancing my checkbook, and still having $572.53 left in my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wamu.com\/\" title=\"Washington Mutual\">Washington Mutual<\/a> accounts. Plus whatever I&#8217;ve got in my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.akusa.org\/\" title=\"Alaska USA FCU\">Ak USA<\/a> accounts, which I&#8217;m not touching except for paying my <acronym title=\"Digital Subscriber Line\">DSL<\/acronym> bill once that starts coming in&#8230;I&#8217;m actually managing to get to a point where I really think I can survive down here on my own two feet. Pretty darn spiffy.<\/p>\n<p>Last night after I got off work Candice picked me up and we headed out to her college so that I could meet some of her friends and see the college band play. Was a nice evening &#8212; I got to put faces to some of the names she&#8217;d been telling me about and take a look around the campus, which was neat. One really funny thing &#8212; one of the girls going to her school is someone I was in German class with back at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.asdk12.org\/schooldetails.asp?ID=800\" title=\"E. L. 'Bob' Bartlett High School\">Bartlett High School<\/a>. I don&#8217;t think she ever recognised me, though&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>So that was about it&#8230;home by 10:30 or so, in bed about midnight.
