Arizona

Dearest <you>,

So I live in Arizona now.  Officially I have lived here since 2009-08-13.  That is when I got my local driver's license anyway.   I am what the locals are calling a "live-in care-taker" for my grandmother.  If that were not the case, you see, I would not be allowed to live here.  My current residence is within a retirement community with a minimum age of, I believe, 55.

While I was visiting my grandmother, shortly before I got the license, she had a bit of a fall.  I think it was due to drowsiness from some medication.  The cause is hardly the issue however.  The point of the matter is that it was bad enough that I ended up taking her to the hospital, albeit a few days later.  I thought someone should stay with her, and called my brother to discuss it.  Since he did not offer to sell his house, quit his job, and leave his girlfriend, it was decided that I should make my visit permanent.

I am currently majoring in Computer Science at the University of Arizona.  I am taking a few extra math courses this semester, and plan to add Math as a major before I graduate.  At this point I believe I am a Junior, but I honestly have no clue what I need to graduate.

The purpose of this weblog is to reduce the burden of telling several people the same set of things.  It is a lot easier to write a general synopsis of my days here, than it is to answer real letters and electronic mails asking what is going on in my life.  I still enjoy a good letter now and then, but I am getting too busy to respond properly.  Not that I normally would respond properly, but now, I am also unable to do so.

Feel free to ask any specific questions if they have not been adequately covered.

Sincerely,
<me>.
