I think my iPod is dead. I'm devastated. Especially since I only bought it last August. It just spontaneously decided to not work. It constantly resets. I can access the physical hard drive just fine in the brief intervals between it booting up repeatedly. I just cannot fathom how I'm going to fix it and as much as I'd like to get a new one I don't know that I want to spend $250 on a new mp3 player.
It's just going to be very hard to not have instant access to my entire music collection all the time.
So I'm at Josh's watching the kids (who are in bed) faced with only his collection of music which is very lacking in folksy, bisexual singer/song writers which is what I am usually listening to this time of night. So I'm resorting to Pandora and it's just not sating my desire for early Rachael Sage at the moment. Though the songs it's spewed at me so far haven't been half bad.
Josh went hunting today for new musical devices and I may end up getting a Zune, as much as I hate Windows Media player, certain features sound really appealing.
I'm so relieved to finally have an answer about school though. I'm sick of being in limbo and not being a matriculated student. Plus 3 of the classes (all of which I need for my major) I wanted to take are still open and don't conflict with each other. And there are still openings in creative writing courses. Which I think would be really good for me.
I just finished reading Dog Days by Jon Katz yesterday morning and I didn't expect to really get into it much, but my grandmother insisted I get it when she and my grandfather took me to the bookstore during their summer visit. I'd recommend it to anyone who has ever owned a pet. Honestly even though it details the life of a man on a farm it's quite relatable. The book is much more about his animals than anything else.
I'm hoping the family will be home soon.
