Update and this weekend

Update

I think most of the banking stuff is resolved. The only thing I still need to do is change the address when I move to my permanent address and cancel the old account. One thing that may be a problem is that it looks like my application for a secured credit card was turned down. I didn't even know it was possible to get rejected for a secured credit card. So I'll need to deal with that.

School stuff... I've confirmed that as long as I do graduate before my year at the job is up, a later graduation date is not a problem for my employment. Even if I never graduated, they would just retroactively reduce my salary. So if I need to take an extra term to graduate, and my school will do that, I can. But I'd really rather not.

This weekend

I have two social opportunities before me this weekend:

1. A Faerie Festival about 35 minutes away from here. Would cost $10 admission, and I wouldn't know anyone there, but it could still be fun. I just might be tempted to spend money. Which is not evil, given that I now am gainfully employed, but still not always a good thing. I figure going to this is better than staying in and watching TV all day.
2. A poly picnic on the beach north of Chicago. An hour's drive if there's no traffic, plus the cost of tolls. No admission other than food to share, and built-in social foo. But I need a new bathing suit, as this is sadly not likely to be a clothing optional beach.

Lately some of the Chicago beaches have not been swimming optional.

Yay for getting the banking stuff resolved.
