I’m one module away from completing school and I can’t wait. I’m not overly happy with my Science grades, but I’ll get over it. The first two tests I got an 80%, which I guess isn’t too bad considering the fact that Science has never been my strong point. The third test, however, didn’t work out so well. My sister was itching to do something, so I let her do the last test. If she showed that much initiative to do homework in high school I think she would have graduated…but anyway.
She managed to get herself a 50%, something I wasn’t happy about. Now, you have the opportunity to take the test twice. The highest you can get on the second try is a 70%. So I told her to do it again, and do it right; If she could have only used her brain the same way the first time, because she got a 95% on the exam the second time. It only counts as 70% in the end though. That’s better than a 50% damn it. The next one to come in is English and that won’t be here until sometime around 3/13. That’s not bad though, considering I have a lot of work to do this week.
I’m very, very happy to report that I’m officially DONE with the Stein account. After a very rocky weekend, I get paid Monday. That money will instantly be moved to my savings account and remain untouched until April. It’s my goal to have an extra $2500 in savings by 4/01; which is complete possible considering all the business I’ve been doing lately. That’s going to go towards my laptop and other accessories.
The build of the laptop is going to run me about $1700 (w/tax&shipping). The mouse and router will be another $120. I’m also going to get myself one of those As Seen On TV: Tables for those cozy nights in the living room, so that’s another $40 (w/tax&shipping). The rest is going to remain in savings until the beginning of May. That’s when Dad and I are going to borrow a truck and head over to Wal-Mart, Maces and Home Depot. I’m going to be doing some remodeling on the patio this spring so that I can enjoy my work environment. Right now, as you could tell from previous pictures taken outside, it’s very bare and in need of some serious work.
I’m going to get a new table and chairs, a bench, dad’s buying a new BBQ, and we’re going to get lots of plants and flowers to put some color up there as well. I’m also going to make it a point to let both neighbors know that their kids and them aren’t allowed anywhere near ANYTHING. I don’t want cigarette burns in my table, if I see a pot fall over it better be from the wind and not the little bastard in the end apartment who can’t keep his hands off anything; He’s broken TWO doors and walked away like he did nothing wrong EACH TIME! AND if I see one of those kids fucking carving the table I’ll kill them myself. The children up here are 8, 10 and 15. If they don’t know by now that they shouldn’t put their hands on something that doesn’t belong to them, then obviously their parents aren’t beating them frequently enough.
With the nice setup of everything I can easily invite Heather, Christie and John over for a nifty summer night BBQ. It’s my full intent to actually have one this year, being as I’m finally in the place where I can actually do it. Maybe I’ll even invite Sean if he’s on the island visiting his aunt :heh:
In any event, it’s almost 3am and I’m starting to yawn uncontrollably. Considering I have to wake up early I guess it’s time I get some sleep.
G’Night all.
how come you didn’t invite me!? biotch!
K, now, I told ya that you are NOT gonna order the router and mouse through HP!!! $120 for a mouse and router is NUTS when you can get them in retail stores for quite a bit LESS then that, even after tax!!! Don’t make me smack your bottom silly little one… 😛
Yay for almost being done school! As for the As seen on tv table, CVS was carrying them for $20 about two months ago, you might want to check and see if any of them still have any, you’d save some money. 🙂
Rachel – You never showed up the last 4 times because you were always with Robby. So I figured it’d be pointless to ask.
Joe – I’m not ordering the mouse/router through HP. I’m getting them through Microcenter. But I’m getting the Wireless Compaq Keyboard/Mouse Combo which was $55, then the router which is another $50. Then you have to factor in tax and shipping…duh?
Ashley – Thanks I’ll look there. I usually make it a point not to go to CVS considering I spent hellish amounts of time there heh.
Well, like I said, I’ll give ya my brank spankin’ new Logitech EX110 wireless keyboard and optical mouse cause I have big, fat hands and you have little, fat hands… :-X
LOL – My hands aren’t that fat though. I have skinny fingers…oddly enough. But yea, they’re much smaller then yours.
Hmm no tax in Delaware gotta love it LOL. Yes that Stein account you deserve everything you get and then some. Sometimes you need to beat the children yourself, so go on get to beating.
Line ’em up I’ll nock ’em down haha.
yea well robby and i are over now. i wanna come!
Hi, Krissy! I was just wondering if you got my email today about the domain?
Krissy: I’ve already emailed you, check your inbox.
Ooh! Sounds fun… summer BBQ’s are the best thing out!
Especially as you’ll have nice, new furniture.. I can understand why you’d want to protect it!
Well I wanna come too darnit! Long commute though. I want one of those as seen on tv tables as well. I think they have a cheap knock off version at our CVS or something. Our house is small and I need a craft table. It’s hard to scrapbook on the couch and it’s harder to keep Sydney out of the kitchen while at the table. We have wine bottles in our wine rack for looks. Those suckers need to go. I’m so happy you are almost done with school. Keep your sister away from the final module though!
Thanks, Krissy! I just checked, and it will be in the mail for you tomorrow 🙂
