Update Season VI - "A New Day Dawning"

[Joe Biden 2020]

You've got what on your tablet?

The app.

You've got what on your tablet?

The app.

It's a GPS-based app.  You're not going to carry your tablet around when you walk, are you?

[Joe Biden 2020]

Alright, the app is installed on both the phone and the tablet.  I'm not sure what kind of time I'll have tomorrow, as I'll be at church pretty much all day except for maybe an hour or two in the afternoon, but I'll see if I can get some time in.

No, but I installed it on the tablet for the heck of it.

[Joe Biden 2020]

I just did a couple quick test walks with the app.  I marched in place in my bedroom very softly to see how it works.  I managed to burn 7 calories.

[Joe Biden 2020]

I'm about ready to leave for church this morning.  I've got a busy day ahead of me.  I'll be at church from 9:45-12:30. After church I'll be going back over to my grandmothers from 12:45-15:30 to watch the first half of the Final Round of the Master's.  From 15:30-17:30, I will have another Kenya Meeting and then I'll be at church again from 17:45-19:30, so I probably won't be home until 19:45-20:00.

How does one go to church for an entire day? A service lasts an hour or two. Maybe lunch and chitchat with the people there for another hour or so.  That's not an entire day.

Our Dear Friend is now using "military" time? Yes. Oh, yes.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Our Dear Friend is now using "military" time? Yes. Oh, yes.

He selectively uses it.  I think it was from his days in Ameriscam.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

I love when Bushie talks about marching in place. It always make me laugh!

Read my post again.

I'm at Grandma's getting ready to watch the Masters. We're getting a late start on purpose so we can skip the interviews and commercials.

I've always been fond of military time. I really started using it in Kenya.

[Keystone Phil]

I really started using it in Kenya.

Yeah, that's what I figured...

Kenya 2013 Update:

The plane tickets should be purchased this week.  The deadline to have the down payment of $1500 is due tomorrow, 15 April.  I should have an email with the tickets and flight itinerary this week and, of course, the writers will let the viewers know what the itinerary looks like.

The other notable update is the dates may have changed ever so slightly.  It looks like we're leaving Friday, 21 June 2013 and returning Monday, 1 July 2013.  The reason we are doing that is we like to have church with the kids at the Orphanage on Sunday Morning before we leave for the Kisumu International Airport beginning our journey back to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

[Joe Biden 2020]

So, here are my plans for tomorrow. I will be leaving the house about 10:30 to take my Compass Test at Metro Technology Center on South Bryant Ave in Oklahoma City. I will begin the test at 11:30, and should be finished by 2:00 or 2:30. When I get finished, I will meet with the counselor and officially get put on the waiting list for the Computer-Aided Drafting - Architecture program. Then, either tomorrow evening or Tuesday, I will start filling out the FAFSA for financial aid.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Is getting this degree worth the debt you will take on? Can you really see yourself in this field? How much will it cost?

[Joe Biden 2020]

Is getting this degree worth the debt you will take on? Can you really see yourself in this field? How much will it cost?

To answer this properly, I will address the points in reverse order.

It will only cost ~$2,500 including books, and I'm going to apply for financial aid either tomorrow evening or Tuesday after I'm officially on the waiting list, but either way, it won't add that much to the debt.

I have always had an interest in architecture and as a teenager, I played with the software TurboCAD some, so I'm excited.  Eventually, I would like to go into full blown architecture, but this is a great start.  It will be something I can take with me to Africa in a few years, I would just have to learn the Kenyan building codes.

I think the reward is definitely far greater than the small investment.

[Incipimus iterum]

Bushie, why are you going to Kenya again?

[Joe Biden 2020]

I'm going because I fell in love with that place last year.  I will be moving there in 2016-2017.

Buy a round-trip ticket.

[Joe Biden 2020]

I will be heading out for Metro Technology Center in a bit to take the Compass Test.  The test is at 11:30, so I want to be there by 11:10 to find the testing center, so I will leave about 10:40 - 15 minutes from now.  I should be finished about 14:00 or 14:30, so I should be home between 15:00-15:30.  I'll probably watch some baseball tonight from 18:00-00:00 and get started on my FAFSA tomorrow.  If I can find time this afternoon, I may go out and walk for a bit.  I'm not sure what the 2 1/2 hours between 15:30-18:00 will look like, yet, but if I have time, I will get outside and walk for about 30 minutes, and if I do, I'll use the app so Inks can confirm that I actually did walk.

Is watching baseball for 6 hours not even slightly boring for you?

You should come to Thailand - it has all the positives with few if any of the negatives of Kenya, plus you can get a job very easily, unlike there.
