Hurray for impulse buys!

July 15th, 2005

So now I’m like $450ish poorer because I decided I wanted a Dell 2005FPW, a 20 inch wide screen LCD. I’ve been waiting for the price on this thing to drop… for about 2 weeks. Haha, I really wanted to wait till it was under the $400 range, but looks like it’s not going to happen anytime soon so I bought it now. It will go nicely with my computer coming tomorrow! I still need a video card for it… Anyhow, mom is pissed at me for spending $450 on a monitor because her sole friend in the world got a complete system for $200 and here I am spending over double on just a monitor. I admit part of it is a waste, but to me it’s worth it. She was all like we haven’t bought a house so there is no one to impress with your monitor. I was like WTF of course, certainly didn’t buy it to impress anyone. If I did, I would have sprung for the 24” LCD… Anyhow, the value of money is different to everyone. Time and time again I get into arguments about how terrible my spending habits are, but like I said, the value of money is different to everyone. For me, having the monitor gives me greater benefits than having $450 to spend on other things. Or really more in my case to pay bills. On the same token I feel like I must mention I rather have the 8K in my bank account than going to get me the best car 8K is going to buy me. Actually I have more than that to spend on a car, but really I rather have the money especially when I have a car that drives for now. I really want my next car to be something with amazing power. I want that thing to accelerate quick!

Been thinking as well, I’m feel like I’m for sure going to take the full time position and do full time school right along with it. Kinda plan on moving out to some place in Newark to be closer to well school and work and everything else in my life. Also, should make some plans to talk to financial aid and see if I can get anything else, maybe even something like a subsided loan. With my scholarships and cash, I only have about half of what I need by August 1. Plus I ‘m going to have to buy those darn books. Even expensive when used…

Anyhow, never made it down to the real beach. I settled for the fake beach, got a bunch of pictures, 2 of them are in my coppermine picture thing (see link to the right).

Money out my ass!

More accurately bills coming out the ass! I just paid off the car insurance today :). However, still owe DelTech that like $4xx.xx. Which isn’t bad because I can kind of pay them whenever and it’s not a big amount. That’s all not bad.

The bad thing is UD wants almost 4k from me! The cost of tuition and all their stupid student fees for things I don’t use. Parking fees aren’t included in the cost either! I’m sure they have increased like everything else this year. UD freaking expects me to pay the amount due in FULL by August 1. Lovely, give me about 2 weeks to pay a 4K bill. Thanks a lot you fucktards! Glad to know the huge salaries paid all year long to the top administration at the school gets all their cash in a 2 week period.
The second aspect of their bill that miffs me is that I still have received no schedule from them!!!! I mean there was that back door way of seeing what classes I was registered for, but no way of telling the exact section of the class I got. I mean for all I know, they scheduled me for classes that have conflicting times, but it will look like I’m registered for an additional class. It’s highly unfair! I mean they could just be giving me shit classes and they want me to pay them 4K anyhow without seeing if they are shit or not. I mean, what if none of the classes work with the schedule in mind? I have to pay 4K to find that out?

And a really dumb biatch!
