Advising is fun and house-hunting is not

I met with my first advisee today to go over his four-year plan of classes. He had well-defined interests, so it was easy. But, then I tried to set up his schedule in the system, and had to juggle classes around until I could get it all figured out. Initially, it was stressful, but then it felt like a puzzle. After I got his whole 4-year schedule set in the system, I had such a huge feeling of satisfaction. It was actually very fun.

In other news, house-hunting has become very frustrating. We have been searching for three months now and we have not found the perfect house. I thought one of the houses we saw last weekend was satisfactory; it fulfilled all our needs. But, for some reason, my fiance is not sold on the house. I think it's because the basement isn't finished and thus, no man room. Also, it's close to a highway. There is a huge field to dampen the sound, but he seems concerned about his allergies, mice, and snakes. I'm beginning to think that it is not actually possible to find a house that we both like in our price range. I've decided to give up on the house-hunting thing for awhile. I'm thinking now that maybe we should just rent.
