So this was an interesting week for us! For one our gas (at least in Lansing) went up to almost $6 a gallon (until police started reporting gas stations for price gouging) but as of now it is still like $4.50 a gallon which sucks. It has rained non-stop for like 5 days now which is another downer.... and I got pulled over for going too slow by a dumb Michigan State Trooper. I in all honesty wanted to punch him in his face (but I refrained).
On the job front... Matt got an interview with Roush (sp) to be an NVH engineer. He put the application in and they called him within an hour which is a good sign. He has two weeks left :) It is only a part time position meaning he will not get benefits but he will still be getting paid well and working at least 35 hours a week so no worries there. After the contract runs out he would be hired full time (hopefully.. that is what the hiring manager said). He got some more callbacks and did some more phone interviews and now one of his profs is helping him out with his search now. So we are just waiting on somebody to give him an official job offer.
I have some exciting scholarship news but I want to wait until it is official before I share it with yall! Hopefully when we come home for Christmas this year I will be able to tell yall for sure.
Ahh last thing... I got my placement information for next year for SW. I have a couple of agencies to choose from but at this point I will be working with the Ingham county court with kids that are going through the courts!! YAY! I hope everybody has been having a great week :)

YAY!!!! boo about getting pulled.... but yay about everything else :) how slow were you going??????? just want to know for future reference. love ya
Daddy says, no way did she get pulled for going too slow. He said, I was reading it wrong.
Listen yall... I was going like 55-60. It was raining so freaking hard and then that dweeb got out of his little rudolph car (you will understand that reference when you come up here to visit) with his dudley doright hat on and asked me "young lady why are you going so slow" and I very kindly responded..."umm because it is freakin raining" and he perceded to tell me that there was a minimum speed limit (which was not posted and when it was like 15 miles down the road it was posted at 55 so he can just blow it out his butt). But yeah he gave me a lecture on safe driving in the rain and I nodded and then he got back in his car and went to harass some other scared college kid lol! He was not very nice and I think he was just bored! I personally believe that the idiots passing me doing 85 (in a 70 when it is pouring rain) should have gotten pulled over...but it is michigan :) So yeah... do not do below 70 on the interstate in Michigan lol
hahaha you think THATS bad... wait til u come to PR! :) the cops have their lights on 24-7 and they don't pull people fast or slow. well maybe i should say very rarely. they make their own rules 'round this place :) Road Rage was born in PR.
