Ooooh, I bought a shiny new alarm clock today! I know that doesn't sound very exciting, so here's some back-story:

The night before I moved out of the dorms, Jill and I were lowering my bed down to a level that was deemed "appropriate" for leaving it alone in a room for a summer. Because I didn't want to set my alarm clock on the floor and risk stepping on it, I did the other logical thing; set it on the bed springs. As I pulled the spring support out of the head posts, the clock went flying and slammed into the ground. This in turn made the face plate and the dark tinted glass fall off. Also a few knobs. So uhh, yeah, that was great.

I was able to fit most of the pieces back together, like the knobs and whatnot, and it looked pretty cool without the face plate on it.

A month or so ago, Dad fixed it so the face plate stayed on, but the tinted glass fell off. Last night I accidentally hit the radio button, and then it wouldn't turn off! I just had to turn the volume all the way down. Then this morning when I hit the snooze button, it just sitched over to tell me how many minutes I had between snoozes, so it never went off again. I almost missed class. Whoopsie.

So now I have an alarm clock that has all the same features of my old one: dual alarm, CD player, wake up to a certain song on a CD, wake up to the radio, "Grad-U-Wake." It's pretty cool. AND the CD player works, unlike the old one, AND it has a blue screen instead of green, AND it's half the size and half the price.

Okay. I know that's totally nerdy. But I gotta make it to class on time, right?!

And I bought some chocolate and Doritos. Yum.
