Goal Number 1

Okay, so today has been a ridiculous day. I finally broke down and bought a stupid computer case, because I have been just carrying it around, and knowing my ability to walk... it's just not a good thing. I  can't afford a new computer.. so I decided to buy a case so I don't have that problem anytime soon.

I bought it based on the measurement my sister took for me. 17 in. I thought, hmm... that seems big.. but I trusted her knowledge, because I had no reason not to. Found a bag for $30 on sale at Best Buy, and thought, well, that's a decent deal, but it's ugly and huge... but if that's what fits then I can somehow make it pretty. I got home only to find that my sister was wrong. She measured from bottom left to top right of the OUTSIDE of the computer... when to get the measurement, you're supposed to measure the bottom left to top right of the inside screen. So... I was frustrated because I had seen a cuter case that was only $5 more of the right size, had been almost positive that it would fit my laptop but didn't want to chance it because I trusted her... Two hours later I returned to Best Buy, exchanged the bag for the cuter and right size one... had my laptop with to test it just in case, and now I have protection for my laptop. It was just a 4 hour affair.

My goal for this month.. because I don't think a week will be long enough.. is to learn Sound of Silence on the Ukulele.. because.. did I mention that I got one for Christmas??

Potential video to come of the song... if I learn it successfully.

9 days til I return to D-Town.
4 months and 5 days until I leave D-Town and move home for good.

Scary.
