How big is my tank anyway??

I used to think my car had a 12 gallon gas tank ’cause I never got more than 11.6 in even after running on E for a week. Last time I filled up, though, I got 12.7 gallons in, and today I put in 12.91. So maybe it’s 13 and I was really close this [...]

Yay Tracking Numbers!

I have 3 tracking numbers for the 3 parts of my computer that are coming. So I’ve been staring at them on the computer. Wednesday wednesday wednesday…. whee! So I have to drive moonlight tonight. woo. hope I survive :-P

New computer fun, but getting expensive.

So I dove in and am getting the parts to a new system. I was initially gonna keep the cost down below $400, and finally configured one for $430. Then I got a really good deal on a hard drive so it’s up to just under 500. Now I’m thinking it would be nice to [...]

There goes money.

That was almost an impulse buy. Well I’m tired and… ‘ya know. So I went to DSM and got my hard drive earlier tonight. And I just placed an order for the case and chip on newegg. All that’s left is memory and I have a brand new computer system. Yeesh that was quick. Ah [...]

squirrels and bugs

Interesting bussing today. I hit a squirrel. :-( but it was already dead. Although it’s interesting to note how you hardly feel a small furry animal squish under your bus tires. Just a soft, little "bump," and that’s it. I also saw a double-padidle (sp?)-beetle. It was missing one headlight and the opposite fog light. [...]

Okay week.

I think this week will be okay. Sometimes I get really stressed out about things, but when I can relax and take things easily… it’s so much less stressful. I have a CprE211 exam on Thursday, but it’s not over interrupts, so I should be fine. My Math 307 quiz was pushed back ’till next [...]

Yeesh….

Capital One must like me. They doubled my credit limit again. I’m now at $3K with a 9% fixed interest rate. Current Balance? $0.00 And planning to stay that way. Heh. I’ve never had more than $400 on credit at once, so it’s kinda funny. Ahh well. At least that means I’m in good standing…. [...]

Is this an obligation?

My Crazylife client just popped up on my comptuer while I was doing homework. I programmed it to do this so I would remember to update, but now I’m updating instead of studying! um, well…. Saturday I took a 5.5 hour shift and ended up almost killing a blind guy. (Yeah I went all GTA [...]
