marenziOh man. So last night, my computer DIES. Only turns on to give me a glimpse of really weird code, then shuts down again. I copied it all down, e-mailed it to my dad (computer geeks FTW), and he told me it had worn out. Then I sat down and counted and realized it was 11 years old, so maybe this shouldn't have been so surprising.
Anyway, I've been worrying all day because between buying my car last year and paying for gas & insurance, no way do I have enough for a shiny new computer. EXCEPT. The people at Best Buy? Have no idea what they're doing. And between explaining to them why they are wrong & pointing out completely superfluous 'problems' with their floor models, I end up with a LAPTOP. For the first time ever, and I am beyond excited, you don't even know. It's a Dell Inspiron 1318 and is really just perfect for what I want/need - was on sale to start with & I ended up paying $500. It retails for $900 on Dell's website. It is shiny & new & omg I am typing on it RIGHT NOW. :D
Between yesterday (YOU GUYS. THEY ARE STILL LIVING TOGETHER RIGHT NOW OMG.) & this laptop & SPN in basically ONE WEEK, life is freaking amazing right now.Except for that 30-page paper due Monday that I've been procrastinating on for three weeks, wot? AMAZING, I say.
