I'm blogging. Oh my. It's my first time... be gentle.

It's Halloween. The doorbell is starting to irritate me. Half these kids don't know how to say "trick or treat." They just ring the doorbell and give you a blank stare when you open the door. It's cold out there, though; I don't blame 'em.

Things are good with me. Iowa is still here, in case anyone cares. I've got less than two months left here, though. That makes me happy. Hopefully I'll have my project done at work by time I have to leave. The superintendent of the refinery told me a week or so ago, "You'd better have your project finished by time you leave so I can chew your ass when it doesn't work."

I'm eager to return to school. I miss Rapid City, and everyone there. But, I'll be further away from my girl in Aberdeen. Ack.

I have a new idea of what I might do after I get my B.S. in chemical engineering... I've found from working at Cargill that I have an eye for safety (despite the fact that I'm continually hurting myself). But, I notice things when I watch other people work. The new engineer, Scotty J. as I call him when I page him, said some schools have a Masters program in Industrial Safety. I think something like that could compliment a ChemE degree quite nicely, and I think I'd enjoy it a lot. I'm going to look into it when I return to school. I pretty sure SDSM&T doesn't have such a program, but I'll see if I can find someplace cool to go for it.

That's all for now.
