Swirling mess

Life is so hectic these days. I have these three swirling messes, moving targets, that are all interdependent. Once I nail one down I'm sure the others will fall into place nicely. But there is just never time to do anything.

SM #1: Housing
Need to find somewhere to live. As I said before, we found one nice place, but the lease date is May 1, which is too early. However, depending on how the employment situation goes, we may be able to go that early. Or we may have to stay here as long as possible (July) so I can work as long as possible.

SM #2: Employment
Obviously. Alan has begun job hunting, but the tech jobs in upstate NY are slim pickings. We've also been looking for telecommuting opportunitites. If we could nail down employment though, we would have a lot more decisiveness on where we need to be and when. I think I'm going to tell my boss today (if I don't chicken out). There may be some telecommuting options here that would help solve this dilemma.

SM #3: Pre-reqs
On top of the obvious housing and employment, I also need to work in 3 more pre-requisite classes. I had a great plan for taking them at Binghamton during the two summer sessions, but when I met with my advisor last week she said no, no, no. Apparently all three conflict with each other!! What kind of goober schedule is that? She was nice enough to give me options (online, test out of some of them, local community college, etc.) I can also (possibly) take another one up here. Soo... what I take and where will depend on where we are living at the time. Maybe the solution is to decide on how I want to take the courses and register. Then housing and employment will have to be coordinated around that. Hmmm... it's good to write things done sometimes :)
