And slowly but surely, my jostled life is getting back on track. Student loans are figured out for the most part, Draper is figured out for the most part. It looks like starting up classes in about five weeks won't be all that difficult. Thank god.

Decided it was best for Drape to stay with my dad while I'm at school. It's just too hard to care for a very needy dog and get everything done that I have to. I mean, in order to graduate in a year, I have to take 20 hours a quarter, plus classes during the summer and December mini-quarter. Awesome. Great. My favorite. Actually, I'm not too worried about it, but I definitely wouldn't have enough time to take proper care of Draper, and go to school, and work. Social life, well, I'm not worried about it. I like to go to bed early. But it wouldn't be fair to Draper being alone at the apartment as much as he would, so this is a good compromise. Dad has the time to dedicate to him, and can take him on the road. Drape loves going in the car. And, once I'm done with school, I can have Draper back living with me, assuming Draper isn't happier living in Princeton.

And, on top of all that awesome, I just found out one of my favorite teachers is still at DePaul. I had heard he was just serving as a mentor for seniors and graduate students, so the fact that I can take classes with him while I'm there is pretty exciting.

All in all, it was a good day.
