"I need some old times"

It's been a blogging hiatus of late...not by intention. I've been learning how to simulate scenarios and determine optimal solutions given constraints. While I did not really enjoy my statistics course as whole, I feel really clever knowing how to do a bunch of Excel stuff, that I have no intention of using in the future. But perhaps my career will surprise me. Or maybe I can optimize our savings or determine the risk of us getting in a car crash and needing money for a new car or something. All this knowledge and no place to apply it...maybe it'll be useful next quarter in Finance or Accounting.

So I just finished taking 1 of 3 finals. I think it went well. I predict a 95%ish, unless I really missed something. Still a humbling experience, as there was stuff the Lord just made work that didn't seem to be working previously. Thanks be to Him if I can get out of here with an A or a B, and therefore be refunded by the Company.

I've been on a huge Margot kick of late. Can't get At the Carnival out of my head. They have so many great songs. I wonder if/when I would have discovered them if it weren't for Parliament pointing us in the right direction?! I think they might be moving into my top 5 favorites. We'll see if the new album and new lineup next year matches their warranted high expectations.

Holidays are coming soon. Hip hip hooray. I'm tired.
