Sometimes doing the incredible means ruining your credit
Hayley and I have pretty much come to the conclusion that I will be going to Paris unless all options are ruled out. So, as Sunday the 4th is my last day of academic atrophy, this quarter begins my hunt for thousands upon thousands of dollars from my financial aid department and someone to stay with Hayley and watch the house for three weeks when Hayley is in Romania. Preferably someone who she will not try and have sex with but that, at this point, is still negotiable. If you are interested please send your application to asmith36@students.depaul.edu and we will see what we can work out. Seriously, it is a good deal.
Though this is likely one of the stupidest decisions for us financially this is the only opportunity I have to do this and Hayley seems hell bent on my enjoyment of life. That is one of the nice things about marriage, finding out how many stupid things you can do with another person all the while knowing you are holding the other one over the edge of a very dangerous cliff with yourself tied to them. I know that if I were single I could jump a train and travel around for awhile, even if I am unlikely to do so, but when I am married the probability drops again. Still, when the person you love encourages this behavior it seems to take on a whole new meaning and one that seems to be a bit more dangerous and therefore worthy of enjoyment.
