Personal News

It seems like most of the time I find myself talking about current events that are reported in the newspaper or some current events blog. I have received requests from some readers to include more personal events. Normally I don't have anything to report. This time, it is different.

News Item #1: College

It has finally occurred: 3 schools, 5 majors, 8 years, and 133 semester hours later, I now have a 2 year degree! Ok, so I have two 2 year degrees. Either way, it is a significant milestone, and now I can pursue my 4 year degree. I'm thinking only one of the those, however!

News Item #2: Girlfriend

Now, before the jokes start, let me address some of them head-on.

    1. Yes, she is real - not imaginary
    2. Yes, she knows how tall I am (and is taller than I)
    3. No, she is not looking for a green card.

I've known Lauren for about three years now. We met over a game of Monopoly during a power outage. Since then we have played multiple games of Chess.

Right now we are geographically separated, but thanks to the magic of the VOIP, IM, and Web Cams, we get to do more than just send mail back and forth. We will be moving to the same timezone this summer. For now, we have to keep track of the hours of difference between us.

Here is a photo of her from her blog.


I'm sure there will be more news to follow!

Hi, I'm Lauren... Mac's girlfriend. I thought I would write a message to prove I exist and not a figment of Mac's imagination. :)
