Rollin’ Rollin’

It’s been a pretty productive evening for me. I’ve just ordered two skins from DecalGirl.com, one for my new laptop and the other for my iPod. I picked up the “Drama” skin for my laptop and “Her Abstraction” for the iPod. I also did some shopping on Amazon and picked up a new protective sleeve for the laptop as well. My laptop bag is WAY too big and I wanted to be sure that this new computer has absolutely no dents, dings, scratches or smudges.

Yes, I’m one of those anal retentive people that likes to keep everything nice and clean. Granted, you couldn’t really tell that by looking at my room right now but it’s hard to keep things in ship-shape condition when you have two people living in a small room. It’s been my goal, for quite some time, to get myself motivated enough to do some cleaning but that just never seems to happen for me. It’s really just the matter of straightening everything up, it’s just a lot to organize and I don’t personally own enough containers and a label maker in order to get the job done to the degree I’m interested in.

I called my old high school today to request my transcripts so I could get things squared away with Phoenix, since I waited 8 years to get back into school they’ve had to go to the archives. The lady I’ve been speaking with is very helpful and seems happy to help as well. Hopefully this will get me back on track considering the hiccup I’ve had to deal with over the course of the past couple of weeks.

FYI to anyone even remotely considering picking up ANY kind of degree from Stratford Career Institute (scitraining.org) or Penn Foster (pennfoster.edu). These are both BULL SHIT schools and any degree that they provide to you can not be used to further your education ANYWHERE ELSE. Prime example – My sister recieved her high school diploma from Penn Foster and while they claim to offer associates degrees after high school, their diploma is not valid to ANY OTHER SCHOOL ON THE PLANET EXCEPT FOR PENN FOSTER! The exact same thing is going on with my diploma AND certifications recieved from Stratford. So I’m trying to get everything squared away with my physical high school here in town to see what I can do to get the transcripts and call it a day. I may wind up having to go back to complete like one course but for the most part I don’t see that as being much of a problem at all considering I’m motivated as all holy hell to have that Bachelors.

In any event, it’s getting to be that time when I’m sick of looking at a monitor considering I’ve been looking at a computer since 9:30 this morning at work. I also have to consider that this one is much smaller than the one I get to use at work (20+ inch wide screen set on the maximum resolution available), needless to say my eyes are SPENT.
