From Sleepy Shifts to Sleeping In

Dear Blog,

I overslept today. I slept until 1pm, and I had my lab start at 12pm. I ran to my building (via Bearline) and made it to my classroom to find that no one was there. I waited for a while, and then realized class was probably let out early. Isn't that my luck? The first early release lab and I don't even attend. I'm kicking myself for sleeping in. How will I complete the assignment if I didn't do the experiment? How much will my grade fall for missing one class? Why didn't Steve Jobs call my iPhone to let me know that the iPhone was set to vibrate and I couldn't hear any of my alarms? So many (as of yet) unanswered questions! Blah.

Other than that hiccup, my life is pretty cool at this point in time. On Monday, we had our S'Mores N'More program here at Kentwood. I spent a lot of time with Bridgette (Sunvilla RA and third member of the program group along with Blaire and me) and got to know her better. The program was a moderate success, so I am glad about that. I imagine we'll have a lot more people for our Water Balloon Fight if the weather remains this hot.

My laptop is currently at ResNet. I spilled something on it and the keyboard started acting up. And by keyboard, I mean just the 'U' key. They cleaned it Friday and let it dry Saturday and Sunday. I went Monday to pick it up, and evidently, half the keyboard didn't work. So they are now cleaning that glitchy half of the keyboard, and by Wednesday, I should have my laptop back, keyboard and all. If the keyboard is still malfunctioning, I will have to buy a new laptop keyboard. I'll order the replacement and ResNet said they will be able to install it. I can still use the computer, by plugging in a USB keyboard, so no worries there. I'd just rather have a normal notebook keyboard for my laptop.

I'm still thinking about the new Xbox 360 Slim. GameStop.com now offers a bundle pack for $370, which includes the 360 Slim system, plus a data transfer cable and an additional black controller to match the 360 S. That's $60 more, but still a great deal. I'll have to ask local stores if they carry the same deal, and if I can trade in my current Xbox for that bundle.

I think that will wrap up this blog. I don't have too much to add, and I have some Classical Mythology lectures to watch. First lunch, then lectures. Yay for me!

Until next time!
