And I thought Kirksville was bad...

Ok when I went to college in Kirksville, MO (read: Farmtown, USA), we went to Wal-Mart a WHOLE lot. It was THE THING to do. We used to make whole Saturday afternoons of it really... There was a Sonic drive in across the street so we would go over there and get slush floats and then head over to Wal-Mart to "get stuff." Keep in mind that every good Wal-Mart in a town such as K-ville includes a supermarket section making it the ever wonderful WAL-MART SUPERCENTER. Thus allowing bored and poor college students the opportunity to spend ENDLESS amounts of time in this wonderful establishment. Then we would leave, go by the little tents set up on Saturdays outside and get ourselves a bag of fresh kettle corn. Ah, those were the days....

ANYWAY, you gotta read this article. We were never this bad but I feel like the thought of doing such a thing did cross our minds a few times...ah what boredome and a very large megesupermarket will do for you...

Brilliant timing....really...

Calling any and all Macintosh nerds:
Please Please Please help me! My computer is sick, I think. Last night it freaked out and did the swirly "please wait" thing and wouldn't stop. So everything was force quit and then the thing wouldn't come back on! Blue Screen of Death as I named it was my predictament last night. At that point I was freakin out because the eight pages of the 11 page paper I am supposed to finish which I had spent ALL day reasearching and writing was on my computer. Luckily, thanks to the Apple website, I figured out how to start it up in safe mode and got my paper onto my flash drive. The best piece of advice I received at that point was "Let it take a nap. You are tired. It probably is too." So I shut it off for the night and woke up today and it is sort of working. It's on but I'm very afraid the whole thing is going to shut down at any moment. I'm thinking it is possibly some bug in Microsoft Word. I have a relatively old version of it and I think that that might be it.... The problem is that I MUST have Microsoft Word in order to pass school and graduate and I cannot afford to purchase a new copy. This is an issue.

So is this my problem? And how do I fix it? Please, someone help me!!!!!!
Oh and I was gonna take it to the Genius Bar but it's Saturday and it's crazy crowded there on Saturdays and it's not like I don't have anything I'm supposed to be doing... UGH

I'm a slacker

I looked at the date on my last post and apparently it was almost a MONTH ago! I am officially a blog slacker. No that I have that many readers, but still, I'm a slacker. But for good reason, I tell ya! Life has been super busy recently. I spend the large majority of my time with iBaby, she knows me best, we spend the most time together. She helps me to write my papers, get info on the web, plays me some tunes...all the things you need as a grad student ready to finish! So, here's to you, iBaby!!!
SO, I have two months of school left and from here on out it's pretty busy every week. My plan is go "get by" with enough to graduate and never show my transcript to anyone ever again. Sounds about right to me huh? :)

Anyway, since the last update, much has happened. We went to Sara's 24th birthday party (5 year old birthday theme, complete with party hats and blowers...) at a karaoke bar. That's right, Sara, Nikki, and myself all sang Whitney's 'I Wanna Dance with Somebody.' See below:


Also, I decided that in celebration of graduating, I am going to treat myself to a trip to Europe! Sara and I decided that it is well-deserved and booked a one-way ticket to Dublin (only $195!! A deal!) and then later a one-way ticket back to NY from Ibiza, Spain. So the plan is to be in Dublin for a few days, then go to France and then Spain. Three weeks total. I'm extremely excited!




On other notes, I'll be in St. Louis for Easter so if anyone wants to get together just give me a call! Love you guys!
