Emancipation Proclamation of 2012

So, I am proud to announce that after some time-spatial negotiations, Mr. Williamson and I have finally agreed to meet on Dec 18th for my day of passage into the world of mortgage lending. In the past couple months I’ve had to exercise extreme persistence in contacting schools for SIFE projects, dishing out thank-you notes and queries to my interviewers, and guilt tripping tennis players to scheduled matches. So, I have to say it is a bit of a mind-bender when James Williamson, VP of Fairfield Production, somehow finds the time to respond in a timely, polite, organized manner to a lowly, slovenly freshman still trying to make his way in the world.

"I Can't Guaranty Precision?"

Blasphemy! Or maybe just grammatically correct?

*Fun fact*: At first I thought Guaranty was a very unfortunate name for a bank, almost on the level of "Mikenomics" and "Mammoth Erection Scaffolders." Now, this was based on the assumption that "guaranty" was just a bad spin-off of the popular American English form "guarantee." Apparently, I was misinformed. Although a little out-dated, "guaranty" was once the distinct noun form, while "guarantee" was set aside for use as its verb counterpart. Despite this, British and American writers commonly used "guarantee" interchangeably, eventually restricting today's use of "guaranty" to legal documentation. :D

So, yesterday I was officially inducted into Fairfield Mortgage for their "Intern for a Day Program." Basically, I have been given a super lucky contact who will take a day out of meeting sales quotas for food and shelter to attend to my needs and general collegiate curiosity.
