Splurge.
I like that word.
I splurged this week.

1-Bought one of those cool-spot things for the laptop. It's no longer too warm to have on my lap for more than 15 mins. No more using a muffin tin to give it room to breathe. :)

2-Bought the laptop a new carry-case. It's this foldy-thing that zips up the side. No shoulder strap ('cause I can't handle the weight on my shoulder anyways) and when I get to chick fil a, I just open it and the laptop stays in it, instead of digging it out of the bag and finding a place for the bag and stuff.

3-I bought a new pillow. Just like a little seven-buck deal, but yeah. I'm waiting until it's dark and then I get to go back to my pillow. I totally empathize with Ben in DA, his awe of the thought "We get to sleep as long as we want." Mmmm. sleep.

4-Aleve. Yeah, the little blue 12 hr pain pills. I notice I've been waking up when the advil stops working and my back/hip starts hurting. It's easier to keep from getting busy-brained and not-sleeping with the aleve, because my body's not distracting me from sleep with aches.

------------
Signed up for classes. Took forever. The college just went paperless with their catalog and so I had like 7 windows open, one for what classes I still need, one to search for classes available, one for adding classes, some others for I-can't-remember-what. Stupid paperless.

Didn't get as many classes as I'd like because they've got them scheduled over each other and they cancelled one at the LAST minute. Fuckers.

A warm welcome to the people who just friended me. Nice to have you aboard. Feel free to say hi and stuff. I don't bite, promise.

I'm taking seven classes this semester - my last! I can't wait for it to be over, although I'm gonna miss some classes.

Woohoo!
Good luck with that.
I'm taking 3 real classes and a 1-hr 'fitness' class (walking).

Even the recreational classes I wanted to take didn't work, schedule-wise. No photoshop for me this season.

I had a problem with my classes squedule and I almost had to spend one more semester in school due to one class, but things were solved eventually and I'm hopeful I'll be getting my diploma by the end of the year :)

That's excellent. I'm so glad it worked out for you.

Right now, I'm looking at a ridiculous long time to finish up. They only offer some of my classes every other semester, and then sometimes on top of each other. I can take History of Interiors II or Commercial Design I this semester, and the other one a year from now. It really sucks.

Is the cool spot thing working for you? I've been thinking about it (my tablet is asian hooker hot) but I've never known anyone that had one that could speak to their effectiveness.

It's working really great, but I'm using the heat-sink thing and the case-thing both on my lap. It seriously cooled it off though. It blows the heat off to the sides and back and puts another half-inch between the back of the laptop and my legs. It's not attached other than the USB cable, so it's not super-mobile. Like, if you were doing a lot of walking around with it, it'd get dropped a lot.

It was like $30.

Splurging is good.

It's very good.

Especially splurging on shiny new toys.


Aleve is the shit. It's a godsend. I used to be big on Advil, but Aleve works much better on really bad pain.


Sorry signing up for your classes was such a pain in the arse.

Best of luck with school this semester!

It turns out that one of my classes is 20 miles away from the one before it and after it that day. Suck. I'm gonna go talk to registration tomorrow and make them do something.

Aleve is my friend. I'd buy it a card on its burthday. Dude. It's just enough, y'know?
