The past few weeks have been hectic.
I moved out of the house I lived in last year, with Jared, Eric and Britt, and into a new house with Ian Nelson. It's funny how attached you can become to a physical place. I had no idea that I was so comfortable in that house until I started packing up my stuff and preparing to move. Isn't it amazing how much stuff you find that you have once you start packing? I looked around the house and thought to myself, "This is maybe a two or three trip process. Then I think I'll be done." Ha! Seven or eight trips in the Maxima later, and with plenty of help from B-rock, I was out of the old, and into the new.
A week or so before I moved out of that place, I received some rather exciting news. I applied for an MSc in Innovation, Creativity and Enterprise Management at Newcastle upon Tyne in Newcastle England. I was accepted, they sent me an 'Unconditional Offer' to attend for the 2009-2010 school year. These past few weeks have been full of me dreaming and trying to plan the logistics of how I could make something like that work. I don't know if I'll be able to attend because of how much it's going to cost, but I'm gonna try my hardest to make it happen. Suggestions? Anything will help at this point, seriously, anything.
Working out has been tough lately as well. I got back into it this morning with a routine called a Tabata. Essentially you go as hard as you can for 20 seconds, and then rest for 10 seconds. We did six different excercises for a total number of reps at 8 rounds a piece, and then did the whole thing again for 6 rounds a piece. It was tough, but it feels good to have this familiar soreness back throughout my shoulders and quads. And even though I had a terrible week of eating last week, junk because we were on the road for work, I'm still down in weight as of this morning. Hopefully I'll reach my 250 pound goal by measurements next Wednesday (I'm gonna make this thing happen!).
I have some more stuff that I'm thinking about, but it's just not ready for the world yet. More to come in the next couple of days.

That sounds like an awesome opportunity. I've never heard of that kind of degree before.
I wonder whether a certain pipeline inspection position would be open once a certain guy is too married to continue in said position?
Otherwise, you've got a year to save, right? I guess it's a 2-year degree?
Hi Andrew. I know what you mean about not realizing how much stuff you have until you start packing to move. With every move I've made, I still am in awe at the sheer volume of crap I have.
I actually miss the HD workouts, but I have been jogging a lot more since finishing the last challenge. That workout you described sounds like a typical Brad-Buster workout all right!
Studying overseas sounds like a great opportunity. I have an Air Force friend who is married to an English girl, has recently spent several years in England, and owns a house in England. I'll ask him about the house location, rent possibility, etc., and any kind of local info you may want. In fact, I'll get his contact info and pass on to you and you can correspond with him if you like.

Leaving the brown house is going to be tough. Not because I'm attached to the place, but there is just a lot of stuff there. Let's take a trip to England and see what you think. We can go to a Liverpool game while we're there.
