I made a trip out to Office Depot yesterday and I picked myself up a laptop. It's a Compaq brand (which apparently has been bought out by HP because they had a bunch of HP info in my little info packet) and I haven't really been able to use it yet because I need my mom to help me change the settings and such from whatever Office Depot had it set to to what I need (since it was the floor model). Once that gets done, I'll probably be on the lappy all weekend, provided I actually get to change everything over this weekend.
My other purchase of the evening yesterday was a really cute purse that I saw on the Kohl's website but I wasn't sure it if would look as cute in person as it did on the site. So, when I saw it in the store and I saw that it was marked down even more than it had been on the site, I decided to get it. I'm really happy with it but now I need to buy some clothes that I can "wear" it with. I guess that's okay because I have some clothes that I should probably throw away (because they're starting to look pretty bad) and I have some things to drop off to Goodwill. So I can make room for new stuff now, I guess.
Clothes really aren't a priority right now because I just spent almost $600 on my lappy, so I'll probably have to wait for another paycheck or 2 to come in before I buy myself clothes. Plus, my car is probably in need of an oil change and I definitely need to have money to put into the gas tank so that I can get to and from campus 4 days a week...hooray...
Maybe I can talk Jess into going along with me because I really don't have any other friends that enjoy shopping (because most of them act more like guys, lol!). And she can spend some more of her imaginary money. ;p It's probably going to be a couple of weeks before I can go, so that should space out the shopping trips enough that she'll be able to spend a little more money by that time. :D

P.S. I really hate working and taking classes during the summer! I didn't think it was going to be bad because I would have money and I would be getting classes out of the way. And maybe it's the combination of having both at the same time during the summer, but it seems like I'm never able to do anything fun because I'm either stuck on campus until about 7:30 pm or I have to get up early the next day and, therefore, can't stay up/out too late the night before. It's really crappy!
I'm sure you just miss the idea of a break. I can't imagine taking classes right now, my spring quarter was so stressful, I probably would have jumped off the Lane Ave bridge by now.
ReplyDeleteThe zoo is okay....Columbus still has the best zoo around, IMO. Cleveland has more animals, but Akron isn't too bad.
