as a clam

well, everything has been sent to UT.
just waiting for a reply.

i was mostly worried about my essay's, but im pretty sure it's just me.

good news is, BookBee decided to keep me even after rush,
i think im the only temp who became more than a temp.........
............
coming soon to theatures,
a temp who became more than just a temp,
he became........
STAFF
(rated R)

so that should be cool.
o yea so my new laptop.

this is how it went down.
one day i get home from school and say, "mom, having a laptop would be a big help for school."
"well, we were going to get you one for christmas" she says, " but if you needed it this semester we could get it now."
that was easy.
mom i need a new car....for school.......

they were going to buy it this weekend anyway because of labor day sales what not.

next thing i know we are at circuit city looking at this fine piece of work now subject to my phalanges.

but first, i go for the gold. that untainted, pure as honey, silver as silver notebook called
MacBook

"see dad, i have 700 dollars right now, if i saved 400 for school next semester then i could contribute 300 to a MacBook and finance 200 then we could split the cost!"

i pitched every fastball that came to mind.
but in the end it was,

"son, that money is to be saved for school, if you spend some of it on a laptop, we will end up giving you the money you should have saved on your own. besides you dont need to be in debt right now. just wait till you graduate and then buy it."

well,
here i am.
and i really like this notebook, although Vista is the devil
its a colorful devil.
its so cartoony i like it.
so who knows, maybe i'll switch to Linex in the future,
but for now,
im as happy as a clam.
=)

we just got vista at work, with our new dells. they have given us at least a hundred problems in the last ten days. but it is quite bubbly, though, what is with the lack of solitare? other than that they're not that bad and they're quite fast as work computers go.

see you!

Hey, this is the random girl from the library.

I told you that I'd give you the link of a short story "Funes, The Memorious", and here it is: http://evans-experientialism.freewebspace.com/borges.htm

I hope you enjoy it; by the way, did you check your email already?

Have a not-so-boring Sunday!
