Being Productive

It's been raining a lot the past several days, so I've been productively passing my time by doing the following things:

1.  I signed up for Obamacare!

2. I've been working on my parents' BINGO card.  I'll publish it once their on their way here, just to keep them in suspense.

3. I've been working on my resume and looking for summer and school year jobs.  If anyone in Raleigh knows anything random and temporary I can do for the summer let me know!!

4. I've been drinking a lot of mate and eating various pastries the cook has been making this week.

5. I've been skyping and catching up with various friends.  There used to be a 2-hour time difference with the east coast, which meant that when I finished work at midnight it was only 10pm, so my friends were still up.  But now midnight here is 11pm, and everyone is asleep, which means I have to get up early and Skype them on their way to work.

6. I just started looking at apartments/townhomes/houses for rent in Raleigh for when I get back.  Emily, Joe and I are looking for a 3-bedroom near 40 if anyone has any suggestions!

7. I've been reading about the missing plane. Some people here seem to think the US is behind it (as we are behind all that goes wrong in the world).  Possible motives - 1. We hijacked the plane, will blame the Taliban, and go back to war in the Middle East.  2. We hijacked the plane because we owe China a lot of money, will somehow use the plane to destroy China, therefore eliminating our debt.  3.  We hijacked the plane for some reason relating to the Crimea/Russia conflict since we hate Russia and want to destroy them.
