Damnation. I am burning through money. I just got through putting together my new computer…

When you finish Peace Corps there are two main places you get cash. One is your readjustment allowance which you accrued at a rate of $220 a month during your service. I've only gotten the third of it that you get in country at COS and that was $1800. The check was cut in expectation of my COS in September, so my two thirds ought to be a little more than $3600, maybe $4200 or so. The other money is you can get a check in lieu of the money they would have spent to fly you home. For me that was right at $2000.

My post-reentrance travels have already burned through $600 and I gave my dad $700 for his car tonight. I just about matched that with the $1100 I just spent on my new computer. It isn't even all that fancy:

I wanted to fly out the 23rd, but the plane was full. I'm beyond caring at this point though. I'll still be about 650 miles from home, but that's a good bit better that the 4500 I am now.

In the interim I am running myself ragged trying to get everything done.

music: Nelly - Hot in Here

I am home once again. The road to get me here has been a long one. I'm gonna try and recount it. Unfortunately the only thing my memory is renowned for is its feebleness. Well, no harm in trying…

music: Ying Yang Twins feat. Bone Crusher - Take Your Clothes Off

Ahh, all done: one, two, three and this is four. A grand total of:

Jesus, I'm long winded…

mood: calme

music: Sean Paul feat. Fatman Scoop - Get Busy (remix)

Almost to the end of this. This one is about as long as one and two; it's amazing.

mood: contemplatif

music: Faithless featuring Dido - One Step Too Far

Here is a continuation of the longest entry ever. I really don't expect anyone to read this, I just want to get as much as I can down so that I'll maybe be able to recall something in ten years. It is an amazing amount of info in general; I suppose the fact that each day began at 8am and went till around 4am gave quite a bit of time to cram stuff into.

music: No Mercy - Where Do You Go

Ugh. I've been pulling long days trying to get caught up on work a bit. If it is possible to work oneself dumb, I'm pretty sure that's what I'm doing, or at least blind; everything seems blurrier than normal. Maybe it's like with working out, and it'll make me stronger mentally in the long run to have stressed my brain a bit. Probably not.

In any case, I wanted to get my basic outline from WAIST recorded before my goldfish memory wipes it away. This is really long, to the point where I had to break it up to get it to post. Here's the fist bit:
