You can't tell but I am typing to you from a new computer. If you didn't heard I "fried the mother board" of my old laptop! Who knew you had a mother board in your computer and that it is so vital to the existence of a computer....any hoo... it broke the week before finals no less. Thankfully I had saved all my files for school on a separate disk! Let that be a lessson to you all. Save. Save. Save.
I had been researching them for a couple weeks before I made my decision, which really isn't bad for me! Right?!
I purchased a Gateway M-1617 Notebook (I only tell you this now so your first reactions can be made out of my site.)...it has lots of features that I am excited about included a 1.3 webcam that I haven't figured out how to use yet but should be fun. My wireless is working without a problem which is wonderful! I couldn't package a computer online for the price I got so I am happy for now. I have to remember there will always be bigger and better deals coming along! Oh well. I almost let my ego get in the way and purchase a 17" screen but I came to my senses and put my money in twice as much memory and hard drive (as consumer reports mentioned!). Whew, close one!
I am pumped to have the Geek Squad available to me at a moments notice as well! Today my assistant Matt was hot so there you go. Hot Geeks! ha!
I would like to thank my roommate for dealing with me and my computer needs during the time of my transition! Let me know how I can return the favor at any time. Loveya.
Happy Birthday Grandpa B! Love ya!

I am a nerd...
so many things to blog about but only one thing on my mind....
WHEN WILL THIS SEMESTER EVER END?!?!?!
So the horrible weather got in the way. Not that I wouldn't mind a snow day, but not at the end of semester and not for the final! Enough stress at the end of semester no need to delay that! For real!
First the roads...those weathermen...They freak out of the slightest of events. The roads never even iced in Wichita! The roads were safe for all the kids to jump in the rain puddles as they passed the long hours free from school. Don't get me wrong I am happy for the small children and their hard-working teachers (shout out Holly!). But WSU I expected better! During finals week no less.
Second..I guess the weather wouldn't have really mattered in my situation. My professor had an unexpected death in the family and informed the class she will not be in to give the test the rest of this week. This only creates a problem if you fly out of town Saturday and will be gone for the week. I have planned this vacation to Arizona with my family for months. I am not missing out on sunny Arizona and family and friends, especially for a Patho final. Is it kosher to call the Prof about my schedule dilemma in her time of sorrow? I am praying to get something worked out this week! Any time.. I will work all night then take the test even. I am not complaining. I hate to drag this mess any longer! Can a Prof fail me cause I can't make the make-up date of the final? Will I lose my spot in the nursing program??? Ahhh...headache!!
Third... I have never have met more of a nerd then myself! Who gets so worked up about a delayed final? For real!
THE END!
