Wow, this has been a busy week. I tried to stay on top of things, but some of my lazy habits really didn’t help with that :) It has been a really good week. I am constantly being made jealous by those people in China. I wish that I could be there having those adventures, but I guess I have my less cool adventures in the US.
Well Sunday was a pretty uneventful trip back home. It all went rather smoothly which was rather good. It was good to be back home and rest up.
On Monday I finally got my information for my tax returns! This year went the smoothest yet, I was able to get all the information I needed. I was able to get my tax returns filed quickly, and now I just have to wait for my return to show up. Yeah! Now I will be able to afford to survive for the rest of the semester! I also finally have enough money to pay back flagship if I don’t return to China. (Which isn’t to say that I won’t)
School overall is going really well. I am falling a little behind in CS 462, but I am getting faster in abstract algebra. My plan is to use this week to once again get ahead in all of my classes, oh how nice that will be.
On Thursday I interviewed at Qualtrix to make Jordan Plater happy. They have an OK company. Some things they do rather interestingly from the development side of things, but nothing too strange for a startup. I don’t think I would want to work there long term, but it might be an option if I choose to stay in Provo for my Masters degree. We will just have to wait and see how that pans out.
Thursday night was eventful. I finished up my part of a large group project earlier in the day. At night I could see that my teammates were getting their parts done, when all of the sudden we get an e-mail from one of the team mates saying that they were dropping the class and wouldn’t be finishing their portion of the project. Boo, no good.
Anyways, on Friday morning I finished up that persons part of the project, because I was the only person that had finished by then. Luckily everything did end up coming together which is good.
Saturday was the climax of the week. In the morning I went out with my uncle to go car shopping. We first looked at some Honda Accords and Civics. The Civics were a little underpowered for my tastes, but the Accord was really nice. The center stack is messy, but other than that I like the car a lot. We also test drove a Fusion, but it was pretty beat up.
We originally were going to test quite a few, but my uncle had a basketball game to go to at 2:00 so we headed straight to Woods Cross to check out the Fusion I wanted to see most. When we first walk in they told us they sold it. I nearly died when I heard that. Luckily they were wrong about that, and the car was still on the lot, so we went and test drove it.
It was just a wonderful beauty of a car! It was so much nicer then the other Fusion I had driven, and it was even cheaper. In the end I decided to buy it. There was one hidden fee that was a little nasty, but other than that buying the car went rather well. I am now the proud owner of a 2010 Ford Fusion SE, and I must say, it is a nice car. I really love the way that Ford has turned around in the last couple years.
So, that is what I have been waiting for for the last three and a half years. This whole time I have been saving up and waiting. It actually turned out to be a good thing to save and wait this long. It has allowed me to get something really close to my dream car, and I didn’t even have to go into debt for it. This though has made it so that I am back to being a regular poor college student. I probably won’t be able to clime out of this whole as quickly this time, seeing as I now have car payments to make, but that is life.
Well that is where I am at right now. Things are going pretty good. Now if I could just find a girl willing to date me 
Hope everything is going well for all of my friends in China. Who knows, before too long I might be joining you all again. I am starting to work with Jian Laoshi to get that all set up now.
