Deuce on the Random Ramblin'

Hello again everyone. This is kind of different, two Random Ramblin's in a row. I guess its not so bad doing so many of them, after all, it does make my entries a little bit longer. I have a few things to write about today so let's get started.

I know last time I said that Christmas had come and gone for me since I got my new Dell system, well it hadn't. A few week ago, mother let me order a new Dell DJ MP3 player.

I have to tell ya, after I ordered it, I thought I had made a huge mistake. You see, I am like a kid, I will mess with new gadgets for a while and then it will sit and collect dust. I considered sending it back and getting mom's money back. She told me that I shouldn't because once I got it and started using it, I might actually use it more than I expected. It is a pretty cool little "toy" and I love it. It is sure better than using a portable CD player. With a CD player, you have to carry CDs around with each CD holding up to 20 songs or so. With an MP3 player, you don't have to carry around CDs. MP3 players hold a LOT more than a CD. Basically, its a mini-computer with music and its all slim and compact. Much easier and more enjoyable to use. I am really enjoying it and I think that it just might be used quite often.

I am now going into my final week of classes for this semester. Tomorrow and Wed. I just take finals in my classes and I am done. It is quite a relief because I am starting to get burnt out on it all. It doesn't help that Indiana is seeing the winter weather now. Its hard enough for the ambulatory people to get around, let alone someone in a wheelchair like me. In the wintertime you have to worry about putting on a coat and things like that. it is so hard to get coats on me and still being able to operate my chair afterwards. Since that is the case, I am taking the Spring semester off since its all during most of the winter. The weather isn't the only reason that I am taking a semester off. Financial aid is still a problem. All of the resources that we have tired for financial aid are falling through. On top of that, Federal aid cannot be re-applied for until January and I have to be registered and paid for by then as classes start in January. Registering and putting a hold on paying tuition is to risky in the event that I am denied financial aid again and end up being stuck with the bill. So, I get to take a break and I am sure its going to be a good thing.

In the last few days, I have been listening to a song by the 1980's and 1990's country band, Restless Heart. The song is called Dancy's Dream and its a great song. Its about a man that has a dark secert that is haunting him many, many years later. For those interested, you can see the video by clicking here.

That is going to wrap it up this time around.

'Till next time.
