Acceptance

So yesterday I'm rushing home from work because I was going to go to the Draper Temple open house. I saw that there was mail in the box so I decided to pick it up on the way inside. For weeks previous to this, I would check the mail and find my hopes preserved but my patience growing thin when I didn't see a letter from any university. But yesterday I reached inside, grabbed the wad of letters, and low-and-behold there was a letter from the University of Utah on the top!

I was so excited! I rushed into the house so that I could open it. As I reached for a knife I thought that the letter seemed a bit thin... I expressed this outloud and my brother responded with, "It's only an acceptance letter. How thick could it be?" Thanks, Dav...

So I open it and the first thing I read is, "It is our great pleasure.....". I didn't need to read anymore. I was in! Success!! After rejoicing, I then continued to read the letter. I wasn't offered any scholarships or anything like that, but we'll see what happens when I apply for financial aid.

I'm sick....

.....and I hate it. I feel so lazy and worthless when I'm sick. But oh well. I'll just stay home and do nothing. haha

Getting a new phone.

So I've been thinking about getting a new phone lately. I just came up this week as having $150 towards a new phone with Sprint. I've been looking at lots of phones. The Instinct is cool cuz it's a touch screen, web capable, email, Sprint TV, music, and a bunch of other stuff. But, I decided I wasn't a fan of touch screens. I was looking at a Blackberry for a while, which would have been pretty cool, but it costs a lot more due to the specific Blackberry plan.

So here is what I'm looking at: the Sanyo Katana Eclipse. This is about two steps up from the phone that I currently have. It's also got lots of features: web capable, emails, GPS, music player on the outside, AND! there are two strips along the sides that light up with flashing colors (probably one of my favorite parts).

Since I work for Sprint now, I'll be on a dealer plan where I only pay like 20 bucks a month for this phone. It would have been about the same for the other phones, but since I know that I won't be with this job forever, I was thinking about what my rates would be after I got off the dealer plan. I think this is the best option for me. Plus, I really enjoy having a phone that actually looks like a phone, instead of a computer.

I'll probably order this next week. I'll let you all know how it goes!
