My last statement’s balance was 800 bucks. A desk, a bookshelf, a bed, mattress, sheets, bathroom stuff, all kinds of crap. Added to that — I spent 15 minutes of my first day in the apartment locked in my bathroom (apparently you should never close a door that doesn’t have a doorknob) before I busted through the door. I also spent the next day after that locked outside of my room (my absent-minded landlord didn’t have the key to my room so “Ramon” had to come the next day and drill my doorknob, resulting in a day without my room doorknob and my bathroom doorknob).
Too much stress.
At least my classes are pretty slack. The only thing I really have to worry about is Operating Systems, Graphic Design, my IBM job, and the MS Student Partner stuff. I had to drive to RTP today for my orientation and IBM laptop. I think in the next few weeks MS is sending me a tablet PC too.. and a Treo with a free data plan. Crazy. So I’ll have three laptops, my desktop, a Treo, and the Cingular 2125 I have now. Not really sure what i’m going to do with all of them yet…
Yesterday I bought an audio cable with couplers and finally got the surround sound working with the PS2… I think my ears (and my neighbors’ ears) are bleeding now. So classes are going well and my car is awesome.. still have to get used to directions and the bus schedule, but eh, it’ll happen eventually.
The apartment as a whole is looking pretty nice now. We got some bar stools, a bar set, and a painting to hang over the bar. Pretty much all we need…. Andrew also brought a flower-print living room rug to match our pink carpet. Thanks, Andrew. Just kidding.. I guess it makes it looks cozy.
Oh, I also got my Snakes on a Plane poster today.
Now I have to go watch the movie.
