Making a Change:

So I am sick and tired of this whole internet showdown. SICK of it. The people upstairs have been very unhelpful and refuse to let us help. In the middle of the week last week I had just had it with them and I texted them asking if they needed me to call comcast because this situation was just making me more than a little frustrated.

Each week I have about 20 hours of work at Pier One, 7 at Metro Brokers, and most of what is left is either sleepy-time or me going to school (though I admit, as of late I've been blowing off homework to play sims... bad Rachel). Personally, I can't work around the Library's schedule so that I can sit down and have some quality internet time. [for reference, the library is open 8am-9pm every day

After Michelle and I texting them over and over they FINALLY got this router up. Username: cuntnugget. Password: doucheface. Don't care that I'm giving this out over the internet. First off: CLASSY. Secondly: if you live in my area, take advantage of the crappy internet! Though, if you high performing computers, don't even think about trying to access the internet. My connection times out before anything even loads and I don't even have that great of computers.

Lately I've been taking to getting my assignments and required readings online, saving the pdf, and printing at home. Honestly I COULD live like this, but I'm paying them for internet. I should be able to have internet if I am PAYING for it. Thusly, as of the beginning of July I will be moving into Pi Beta Phi. They have internet there.

In other news, my best tv is totally ruined. Cindy, Ryan, Sean, and I were watching a movie and all of a sudden we heard popping. The screen started going fuzzy so we turned it off. A couple minutes later we turned it on and it continued popping and then died. RIP my lovely TV. Let this be a lesson to you all: NEVER EVER even THINK about plugging in ANYTHING without a surge protector. I thought it'd be okay until I found one later, but nope. Ben said he'll help me pay for a flat-screen or something. Anything that will play dvd's on a screen that's at least bigger than my head. I'm actually thinking about trying craigslist... you never know, I might get lucky and find a nice plasma screen for only a hundred dollars! If I can secure one of those I'm going to try and get my hands on a Xbox 360. Still want one, yes. Maybe Xbox will come out with something new and my brother will just give me his when he buys the new system. I can hope, right?

On a more positive note: I found this absolutely incredible bread at safeway! It's wheat with chopped nuts baked into it. It is just SO good. Makes for some of the best peanut butter and jelly sandwiches that I've ever had (besides the kinds with my dad's jam, obviously). Also, Twinings Lady Grey Tea is amazing! The other day I needed some cash so instead of going to the ATM (which charges about the price of a box of tea to withdraw money...or at least last time I did) I went to safeway to actually get some tea and they just take money out if you put in your debit number. ANYWAY. I tastes like a lighter version of Earl Grey (possibly why this is LADY Grey) but has this kind of cookie aftertaste. You know those...vanillaish keebler cookies where you have the two vanilla cookies with some sort of really sweet, creamy stuff in the middle? Kind of tastes like that. Made me crave those like no other!

Also went to the Farmer's Market. Bought my Dad some of this Salsa which, until July, is some of the spiciest salsa on this side of the country. That is his father's day present from me. The lady was really nice and actually gave me her sample bag of roasted peppers to go with it. She told me he won't have any hair by the end of it.

Also bought some a-sparrow's-guts and a basket of cherries. The cherries were awesome and are gone now, though I haven't had time to actually cook myself some of the asparagus (sp?! goodness I'm lost without spell-check).

Anyway, I better be off and actually get my thermo homework done so I won't have to do it on Tuesday (my only day off for another week).

Cheers
