Currently, I am working at my new, second, very part-time job. How is it that I can be at work and blog at the same time, you might ask? Because I work at a kiosk. In a mall. Selling jewelry. Not the most taxing or exciting work. Plus, I have a nifty iPad at my disposal and I am working that, if not the whole jewelry biz.

I keep coming up with things to add to my list (my list of things to do before leaving Minneapolis/before Minnesota falls into a sinkhole) and of course I don't write them down, so can't remember what they were. One thing was brought to my attention with the announcement of single game Twins' tickets going on sale - baseball! Baseball season is right around the corner and I hope to make it to a handful of Twins' games, at the very least, and by god, if I do nothing else this summer, I will go to a Saints' game. So help me.

Pittsburgh it is?

So, I had an interview last week for a placement with the library at the School of Engineering at UPitt... a placement where I'd get 3 credits a term for 10 hours/week work.  Or so I thought.  I got the official offer on Thursday and it's not only a salaried position (which isn't going to be a ton of money, obviously, for 10 hours a week) but I'll actually be getting 6 credits.  6 credits per term.  Which adds up to 18 credits.  The degree requires 36 credits total.  Do the math with me, people.  Let's break it down.  Divide 36 by 18 and what do you get?  2.  Half of my credits.  Paid for.  By working 10 hours a week.  I think my decision is made.
