Wow!

I just spent a lot of money from Brendan's computer!

I came over here around 11:30 to show off my new little backpack/purse... it's Harry Potter! It was my splurge purchase at Walmart. I really need a new backpack (the zipper on my current one is broken) and I was looking through them at Walmart. There was one I REALLY loved in style and use of pockets (I need to be able to say, "My calculator will go in this pocket, and my pens in this pocket, and...") but I am kind of looking for a backpack that has a padded laptop area. There was one of those at Walmart, but I didn't like its style and pocket availability.

Whoa, tangent. Anyway, I came over here and everyone except Brooke and Jon were gone to Elk City. I asked if I could get online and they said it was fine, cuz no one else was using it. I got online and updated my budget, then... well the computer sucked me in. I've made some important purchases though.

I found a backpack I -really- liked from jansport.com, but it was $100. Yeah. So I searched around some more, and found a perfect solution to my Walmart backpack problem... a laptop sleeve! I found one that fits my computer for $20.. so I can get the neat Walmart backpack and have a padded case for my laptop to carry around in. Yay solutions!

So then I looked online for textbooks. It was great. I found all but one of my textbooks used for cheap prices (and the one I didn't find is only $9.95 anyway). My discrete math book, instead of being $35, is $25 used from Amazon, Div, Grad, Curl, and All That I found for $8.95 used instead of $26 new (also Amazon), and Revolutionizing the Sciences, one of my History of Sci books, was $8.95 from Half.com instead of $16.95 new. Even adding shipping costs, the books cost less than new. Hooray!

But I stil spent a lot of money. I think I will update my budget one more time with these new expenses, then cry at how much money I'm spending and go home. Well, I think I'll stop at Walmart to get my new backpack first. ;)

If it goes on your ass, it's not an asset!

Boy, I had an eventful morning at the dentist. I got 3 cavities drilled and filled! There were two on the upper right side of my mouth that didn't hurt at all, but the big one on the lower right side REALLY hurt - the needle stung and the tooth was super-sensitive while he was drilling. I was as numb as I could get, though, so there was little anyone could do. Oh, well.

I have my new backpack. It is beautiful and wonderul. It has a calculator pocket and a pens/pencils pocket and a CD player pocket and a Game Boy pocket and a schedule planner pocket! And a big books/computer pocket. I will try to get pictures of it. :)

I need to find some client for the Mac that lets me play with Excel spreadsheets so I don't have to use Brendan's computer to look at my budget. I'm going to look for one later today.

Hmm, almost time to take some aspirin for these teeth. yucky :(

messed up

This is so weird.

So I called OU tech people (325 info) and talked to them about my web page. The guy I talked to said that they had "caught up" to the fact that I was staff (after a year and a half) and now I was listed as staff and there was nothing I could do about it. So I hung up. About half an hour later, I realize that if I'm staff, I can change my directory information. I get on and try and do that but I can't connect, so I call them back. I talk to a different guy now, and after being apprised of the situation, tells me that I -can- be switched back to student status. He wrote down my cell number and is sending a ticket to the appropriate people.

Sigh.

I just hope SOMETHING is resolved. Or maybe like Logan said, it'll just fix itself in a few days. Blah.
