More Condo’s, and travel plans

We saw some more condo’s last night. Lauren absolutely fell in love with the first one we looked at, and I thought it was pretty cool as well. So we are going to check into some things, run some numbers and try this again. This one is a little closer to Jeff and Q’s (something like 4 or 5 blocks) and a little further from campus than the one we liked close to Hiawatha. (This should be a link to it’s listing MLS# 3021683) Lauren figures if she never gets used to being able to walk to class it won’t bother her to have to ride the bus. I was thinking that is probably true, because I expected to not have to ride the bus after living in the dorms, and whenever I did have to wait for the bus it was no big deal…I just expected to not have to.

So, other than that we looked at some uber-yuppie / rich old people building, that was waaaayyyy worse than any of the other ones we looked at in terms of expensiveness, and yuppieness. It was super nice with fountains outside, a pool, mirrored walls on the elevator, security and all that jazz….it was just way to wierd feeling inside of it…too quiet and too nice…too many rich people trying to live downtown.

On a different note, Aarons wedding is a week from this sunday…August 14th. So I’m leaving here on August 12th to fly down to Indy (the wedding is in southern IN) for a family reunion that is capped off w/ his wedding. Then late in the afternoon on Monday I’m flying back. Dirk needs to come to this wedding….otherwise I will kick him in the nuts.

Also, I need some new legal copies of Win XP. I had one, but I can’t find the media anymore, and Aaron wants a legal version for his wedding. So, what i was thinking is that I have some Mac lover friends in the ECE department….and the ECE department will give you a licesnse and let you make a copy of the media you borrow, and you can get a second license and a copy of the media for $5. If a certain mac lover *cough**cough* would be willing to grab up one of those from Josh Potts on the second floor close to the east side of the building, I would be much obliged.

Anyway…I lay over on the plane ride home in Chicago for something like an hour and half. I was wondering if anyone thought that might be enough time to hook up for a pizza if they are in the area. Thoughts, comments, and promises of deep dish are all welcome responses to this pondering.
