I went to UPS for the third time today. The purpose was to “interview” with them once more, but the reality of it was that I needed to show them my passport and sign some papers. I wonder if I could have sped up the process by one week if I had brought my checkbook (for the routing and account numbers) and my passport. It seemed like I could have done everything that I needed to do at home right there in the office if I had those two things with me at the second meeting / first interview.

Wow; I’m excited! Apple has come out with a few cool new things that are affordable enough for someone like me to finally get in on all the fun. I have been oggling apple computers for a few years now wanting to be an Apple + PC user, but so far their products have been consistantly out of my price range.

This should have been an obvious next step, but it took me a few years after the first realization to come to the second. The funny thing is that I always knew that I did this.

This past Sunday I sat in a High School Sunday school class with Dr. Steven Meyer, Nate’s Dad. I am sitting in on two of his classes to see how he teaches his group of kids. After two weeks of watching I will be presenting something for them.
It was pretty interesting to go and watch this. I haven’t been around High School students in a long time. They are very similar to what I remember High School being like, but at the same time it felt really foreign to be with them.
