Apple’s products are always designed to be so damn sexy….

I stopped into crossgates mall today and picked up a swagger pair of new kicks. Check out the Diesel - Remy @ Journeys.com.

These sexy cats will look good in jeans.

It’s 1:00am and I need some sleep. My insomnia and nerves probably will prevent me from getting any amount of decent sleep tonight. I leave for RPI at 10:00am - 9 hours from now. I’ve got all my stuff packed and ready to go.

I don’t know what to expect. I am excited, nervous, anxious, eager, and joyous to start something new. It’s a whirlwind of mixed emotions but mostly I’m bewildered at the thought of the forthcoming hard work and train ride of new acquaintance. My thoughts are scattered and my expectations are unknown. I cannot predict the immediate future but I envision that in a month I will be settled down and comfortable in my dorm room.

Anyways, that’s enough of my random thoughts. Without further ado, I must make an attempt for some sleep.

Finally! A summer vacation! Woo! 10 Days long and going strong!

So I just finished my pre-calculus final exam today, which I happened to kick some serious ass on. I now have a whole 10 days before fall classes start at RPI. How do I feel after a summer full of hard mental work? Exhausted and burnt out to say the least. I really wish I could spend the next month relaxing and letting my brain idle at 5% work load.

What are my plans for the next 10 days?

• Travel to Plattsburgh until Tuesday or Wednesday
• Visit family and friends
• Fix oxygen sensor on my car
• Go swimming in the lake
• Do a little fishing
• Consume enough alcohol until I mercifully lapse into a stupefied coma
  

Okay, maybe not the last one (*goes back to scratch that off*). I’m just excited that I’ll be able to spend time outside and be homework free… even if it is only for 10 days.

I move into my dorm at RPI on the 23rd. I’ve been assigned a double on the second floor of an upper-class residency hall. The dorm room is 230 sq. ft., and “Each room has a private bath and is divided by a wardrobe into semi-private living areas… The first floor has a well-equipped kitchen and lounge.” cool… better than living in a 188 sq. ft. freshmen dorm. I’m actually really excited to see my room, meet my roommate and hopefully find las sexy chicas.

Ebay
In other news, I’m selling a bunch of clothes on ebay which I don’t wear anymore (I really need to downsize before I go to college). I’m totaled @ $194.30 with 1 day 08 hours remaining. Have a look.
