I rarely buy myself anything, and when I do it’s the expensive stuff I couldn’t afford before. I always wind up feeling guilty afterwards, but only for the sum left in my checking account. But, then I remind myself that I have made payments on all of my bills and if I have a little extra, who cares what I do with it?

Today I bought myself a new keyboard, a new mouse and a tablet. My keyboard was so old and decrepid that a few keys didn’t work or got stuck. He never took care of my stuff and this keyboard had remenants of food, had drinks spilled on it, been stepped on, the chord chewed on by my old dog. The mouse had been thrown and the clicker on the left was bent. So, I figured if I wanted to be able to type better, faster and be able to function better, I might as well upgrade. Best money I have spent recently. I’m really enjoying my new keyboard, it’s quiet, smaller and best of all: the keys all work.

I bought a tablet, because I used to be able to draw really well. I’d really like to be able to get in to some digital media and be able to draw my own graphics (like this one). Also, for my photography, it will be easier to touch up the parts I don’t like as I’ll be able to get down into the pixel and modify it versus just using a big chunky mouse.

I also am rewarding myself because I actually got a 93 on this past math test that I was so sure I had bombed. The drive to work is what is really getting to me. I used to be gone for 8 hours and now I’m gone for 10 and when I get home I am so tired that it’s all I can do to just stay awake. I haven’t been doing my homework, or at least very well. This is one of those professors that takes random questions from the homework the night before and quizzes you on them. I’ve resorted to copying the questions on a piece of paper and then just doing them when I find out what numbers it is. This is cheating, I know. But I’m still doing the work, just not at home. I’m not cheating off of anyone else….okay I’m justifying my actions which is a bad thing. I hate my psychology class and can not wait for it to be over. This professor is very monotone and draws everything out, except when it’s time to take notes then she’s like speedy gonzalez. She flies through her powerpoint presentations (“but it’s available online guys!”) This still causes me problems (see vent above).

Anyway, I realize that I have homework to do and I’d like to actually get it done for once, so I’m out.
