Helloooo Wisconsin

I feel like there is a song about Wisconsin. Can't think of it though... I have to say, I was spoiled by my trip last week. I was in the Gulf one day and the Atlantic the next. This week I'm in Appleton, WI, Baton Rouge, LA, and Bloomington, IL. It was pretty cool though - yesterday as I realized I couldn't prolong packing and getting ready to go to work any longer I got online and checked my schedule. They had canceled my first round trip. So instead of rushing into work at 1pm, I didn't have to get there until 7:35pm. Then all I did was fly up to Appleton. This is my seventh day of work out of the last eight, but I really can't complain. I had a lot of the day off on Saturday, all day Sunday, then a good part of Monday off. Also, for the most part, I've really enjoyed the people I've been working with. That makes a big difference. I met some interesting people on my trip and ran into a few that I'd met before. You know the world is getting smaller when there are several hundred thousand people going through the Atlanta airport every day and within a month you get the same person on your flight twice. And speaking of the world getting smaller, I just saw that Delta has been awarded service to Shanghai. I know that will make my life a lot easier in the future when I want to visit Israel.

Yesterday I refinanced my loan. Now I will be out of debt much earlier and since my interest rate went down by 3.25% I'll be saving a lot of money. It makes me really happy and hopeful. Debt is the devil. I can't wait to be rid of it.

I think I'm going to flatten down my hair and walk across the street to the mall. (Speaking of debt...) No, it's the only place to go around here and I can't sit in my room all day. We don't leave for Atlanta for another 3 hours.

Oh yeah, I just finished The Grapes of Wrath. It was a really good, sad book. It tells the story of a family who lived during the Great Depression and their struggles. I highly recommend it.
