I took the CLEP test in December for ENGL 1301 and found out today that I passed! Now I can take ENGL 1302 and be admitted to the professional program. This means 5 classes will be taken care of by the end of this semester!

It’s our last night in the old place. Most of our stuff is in the Uhaul truck ready to be delivered to storage and to our new place. It feels like de-cluttering failure to have a storage unit again. If you have to rent a storage unit to hold the “overflow”, it means you have too much stuff (clutter), right?? Besides, I hate paying money to store stuff that’s not even worth that much. We did get rid of a few things while packing but not enough. I know there are lots of things I could still get rid of and not miss. There’s always a point in packing however, where you just want the torture to end and you’ll throw anything into a box and put it in the moving truck just to make it disappear. The obvious problem with that approach is that the junk box always surfaces even if it’s not until the next move.
We signed up for Blockbuster’s online service after an initial trial period. At first it was great. Then, a few months after we joined, Blockbuster raised their rates while reducing the number of DVDs we could watch per month. Now they’re raising their rates again for the second time in less than a year. It used to be worth it, but not anymore.
