Teddy and I bought our second car today. We'll both need one now that I have grad school. We got a silver 2004 Chevy Aveo hatchback. It needs a CD player put in, but other than that, it's pretty cool times. And we paid for it in full. They are doing some repairs and state inspection on it, so we won't physically have it for a few days. So now ( Read more... )

So, yesterday Teddy and I set out in search of a new or used Chevy Aveo LT, since we had liked to drive my old one and my mom had GM points we could use. Unfortunately, unless we wanted a red one, a car color we both dislike and one that I despise, we were out of luck. So, we started looking for a Toyota Yaris instead. We found some in North ( Read more... )

So, it still feels REALLY WEIRD that I'll be leaving Pittsburgh in just 13 days and be on a plane to Japan in 15. Seriously crazy ( Read more... )

So, I have to sell my car cause it's going to cost me like $5000 each year that I'm gone, and so it makes no sense to keep it, especially since I'll most likely go for 2-3 years. So, therefore, I present my car to you ( Read more... )

I got my car back today, so now I don't have to ride the bus!! (Let's discuss how happy THAT makes me... 15 minutes vs 45 plus waiting time, I can listen to music - I'm not allowed to use headphones according to my doctor, and no smellies ( Read more... )

So, on Monday, a construction truck thought it would be a plan to knock a rock into my car, so now from today until Wed/Thurs I am without a car so I can get the $750 damage repaired. I only have to pay $250 (rather than $500) cause the rock was knocked up from the ground rather than falling off the truck like the last time my car got damaged. ( Read more... )

Last week was my spring break, but unfortunately, for me that just meant run around even more ( Read more... )

OK, so I was supposed to go to see my first graders today, but couldn't since Pittsburgh Public Schools are reasonable and cancelled. Then, my last class cancelled before Pitt cancelled it, which was nice cause I didn't have to have school till seven. So I go out for my middle class (the only one I had today), and seriously, the roads really need ( Read more... )

OK, I really seriously dislike the cold. It took all of my might to get myself to walk from Thaw to Carnegie Library and to 711 to get money for parking (I had fucking 6 dollars and I needed seven. It sucks), so needless to say I did not go out to look at wedding dresses cause it is BELOW ZERO WITHOUT WINDCHILL. I don't believe in temperatures ( Read more... )

So, I guess because so many great things happened to me on Wednesday, Thursday felt like being a complete pain in the ass to compensate ( Read more... )
