Its been a lot harder taking the online classes at Baker than I thought. Its been sucking up most of my free time and money. I'm slowly making progress though. Just 10 more courses and the bachelor degree will be mine.

I haven't had enough time to do the physical conditioning I wanted to do. I guess I'll have to accept that fencing will be on the backburner indefinately till I finish this up and figure out a way to not have mandatory overtime as part of my employment.

Its interesting watching Michigan spiral downward economically. I think we're at close to 20% unemployment and people are kind of fleeing the state.

The state government says they want biotech as our new industry. I kinda have my doubts thats going to create a lot of jobs.

I'm getting used to the mortgage processor job. I'm not perfect at it but I'm getting better at it. Some of my coworkers are floundering pretty hard. I'm still seeing a lot of attrition among people I've known. Guess it doesn't matter we're all on our own in the end.

My younger brother seems happy in Florida. Its still weird seeing him being married and with a family and everything.

My older half brother seems out of the picture. Not sure what happened with that. Maybe a falling out of some sort.

I've been thinking lately I should consider trying some travelling in the future and see more of the world. I think part of it is the working 7 days a week is getting to me and I want to be as far away from where I am now as possible. I'll have to give some thoughts to where a good place in the world to visit would be.
