Connected

I've never had good luck with wireless internet.

In high school, we always had issues. Big expensive router would not work when we needed it. When it did work, it was only because it had just been restarted.

In college, I lived in the "old" dorms/non-renovated room without wireless internet. I also went at least 6 months not realizing that my wireless was turned off on my laptop.

Later in college, The Reserves didn't have wireless internet.

Even later in college, we bought a fancy modem+router gateway....made by Linksys, so enough said. It stopped working after a week.

Then I went to France. No internet in the dorms. They later added internet to the main building. The same week my laptop broke. (FML)

I came back from France, and then I was poor. There was this major economic catastrophe in America, which you may or may not remember. I was stuck with the same modem+router that either needed to have an Ethernet cord or be restarted every 2-15 minutes.

Then, I graduated college. Poor again. Love the Ethernet cord stretched through my apartment so I could use my computer in bed? No.

Then, I had this great idea!!! I could go BACK to college, get an AWESOME assistantship to pay for school AND give me lots of money for living expenses. No job, just school. Lots of money saved up. THEN......

I COULD BY THIS:

Airport Express. Why spend $50 on a decent wireless router when you could spend $99 on one of the best wireless routers out there? Definitely worth the extra money. I love it. I'm writing this in my kitchen. No longer do I have connectivity issues. No more cables. Lovelovelove.

No Title Here

I'm so bored. I have nothing to do.

scratch that.

I have plenty to do, I just choose to do nothing this moment in time.

Yesterday sucked. I hate that outlook, but it did.

I woke up way too early, cleaned, and then I went to go get my car cleaned. I picked everything up and put it into a laundry basket (since I had been living in my car for the last 2 months, this size was necessary), then vacuumed it out. It was really cold outside, of course, and my legs started hurting. Being as tough as I am, I continued my mission to clean my car. I then put 3 dollars in quarters into the car wash station hose. !@#!@!@#!@# It was frozen. It was not frozen a week ago!!! It was not frozen right after the snow! But it was frozen the day I actually needed to clean my car. Nevertheless, I abandoned the car wash station. On the way home I realized that my legs still hurt. Without a current mission, there was nothing to distract from discomfort turned to adrenaline rising pain ALL OVER MY LEGS.

Since it felt like I was being eaten alive by ants, the first thing I did once getting back to my apartment was strip down. No ants. Then, I started scratching...WHICH HURT. Then I rubbed half a tube of hydrocortizone all over my legs. Then, I noticed the welts on my legs. wtf. I was having an allergic reaction to the cold. Yes, it happens. At least, I'm guessing this is what happened. I had large hives all over my legs, and it was gross. I took a benedryl, napped, and woke up to non-welty bliss.

To rest my body after the recent trauma, I sat on my couch watching E! for the next 3 hours. Then I bought my new computer to make sure that I would be happy with my decision to get off my butt.

As night fell, I really wanted to go out. I was about to start making plans...when...*gurgle.* My stomach kept me in (and up) all night :o(. You don't need any more details.

Needless to say, yesterday sucked.

But, I AMMM excited for a couple of things.

1. Dallas next week
2. Tucson next week
3. School starting soon
4. My new Macbook Pro!!
