Confessions of A Working Girl

The Staples near my house was having a “free pc checkup” type thing, so I thought “why not?” My computer had been really slow and stupid lately. So I dropped off the computer. Two days later, I get a phone call saying they checked it—and it had major security risks on it. That didn’t sound good! I use my computer to check my bank balance and credit card balance and stuff.

They said that they could take the security risk stuff off—for $89. I was like O.O Plus, they couldn’t do it by Saturday anyway.  So, I decided to bring the computer with me to school anyway, and see if IT will fix it for less than that–or for free, which, of course, would be even better! I still have my old one too. That I’ll bring in case the other can’t be fixed. Because, much as I’d like a new computer, I really don’t have the $300 or so it would cost.

On a happier note, I go back to school tomorrow! My mom and I are driving up tomorrow, because the dorms open at 10:00 am on Sunday. It’s a 5 hour drive, so there is no possible way that I would be waking up early enough on Sunday to make a 5 hour drive. Therefore, my mom and I go up a day early, and only have a 20-40 minute drive to the school the next morning. Plus, that way I will hopefully be all unpacked by my 8 am class Monday morning.

Oh, and I got a new roommate! So far, I’ve only talked to her on the phone, but she sounds really nice. Maybe she’ll stay longer than the other three roommates did?

I had the “cast party” for the summer play yesterday. I’m always surprised when they give me things–they don’t have to. But it’s sorta nice. I got a couple of giftcards, a couple of candles that smell like ceder (a very good scent, I think) and a tiny mug that says “I (heart) my friend” I was like awww.
