RIP iPod!


The weekend is coming up and I’m really looking forward to the hockey game. Last weekend I went out with my friend and had American breakfast. I had pancakes, maple syrup, sausages, scrambled eggs and bacon. It was a lot! I didn’t have to eat anything more for the whole day! I love the breakfast in the States. They definitely serve the best breakfast on the planet!

I also went to Queens Mall with my girlfriend. I bought slippers and we ate Texas Barbeque there. It was great! I’m in love with the food here! I’m happy I’m working out though. There are a lot of calories in these dishes. You only live ones though!

After our shopping tour in Queens, we went back to Manhattan and checked out Century 21. It’s a great department store. They have great brands for the best prices. It was President’s Day this Monday so there were a lot of discounts everywhere. Great day for shopping!

I have a midterm coming up next week. It’s in accounting and it will be the second one this quarter. I don’t think it’s going to be very hard, but I definitely need to review some of it this weekend. We are also getting closer to our final speech in oral communication. I’m getting better for each class in making public speeches. I didn’t feel that nervous today. It’s a very good class and you learn a lot from it.

I did a terrible mistake this weekend. I have always been dropping off my laundry at a Laundromat. However, this weekend I decided that I was going to do it by myself. I will save some money on that. The problem was that when I opened the machine to take out my laundry, I noticed I had forgotten to take out my iPod from my pant’s pocket.

The worst thing wasn’t that I lost my iPod, but the fact that I had to go back in to school and redo a lot of assignments. I had to do my Excel work, my English paragraphs and my oral communication speech. Funny thing is that when I got up the next morning to go to the gym, my iPod was working. The screen was flashing but it was working. However, when I arrived to the gym it died again, and that was the last time I saw it alive.

I’m looking at it from a positive perspective. At least I learned how the laundry machines were working, and now I can do my own laundry. That will save me around $6 a week. I only need to do my own laundry for 42 weeks, and then I have saved enough money to buy a new iPod. Kidding! I will probably buy the iPod Shuffle instead. It’s better for me, especially when I work out.
