My goodness! These past couple of days have been busy, yet productive! Since it's the last week before Spring Break, I have been buckling down and actually getting work done. I made a reading schedule for my history class and yesterday I stuck to it! But today, I didn't have enough free time to read so yeah... I guess that defeats the purpose of my schedule. But I was impressed that I actually stuck to it for at least one day. ;-)
Yesterday I downloaded the iTunes player and I got a free song from my Pepsi bottle! Very cool. I got another one today from a girl in my history class so I'm going to download something spiffy in a few minutes. The player is cool, but there are a lot of things I don't like about it. The thing is that you can't play songs you download from the website on any other player so I was kinda forced to get it. And then I had a buttload of songs that I imported from my CDs onto my PC and they were Real Player files and now I have to reload all of them because iTunes doesn't accept .rmj files. Gah! Annoyance! I am seriously considering signing up and paying the $.99 a song because I'm so sick of that other method of getting music. The quality of the songs at iT is AWESOME. The files are smaller I believe (they're AAC files I think) and I know I'm getting the right song and the complete song. Of course, some months I will download more than other months, but I went all this past month without downloading at all. I'm just weighing the costs (paying the fee) and the benefits (better quality, correct files, quicker downloads...etc) and I'm still deliberating. I know some people will think I'm foolish when I can do it for free, but it is SO not worth it when you have a 56k modem. It's not fun when you wait 30 minutes for something and then it turns out to be crappy. Can you feel my pain?
I thought I had a lot more to write, but my mind is blank. Gotta study for an econ quiz soon so I'd better download my song and do that.
Night, all.
