Online shopping could easily be the death of me. Seriously. I am a sucker for advertisements and sales! My record has been improving simply because I did not need anything...but when I discovered I needed a graphing calculator for one of my classes, my ebay quest began. Not only did I need a graphing calculator, but my cell phone decided to be unresponsive-thus I need a new one of those too :) RIP 1st generation BlackJack!
Success is partially mine at this point. I was victorious in my ebay bidding for a new BlackJack that has awesome reviews. The funniest one to me was about the color of the phone. I chose red, simply because I like color and my previous black BlackJack was boring. "The two available models are striking for different reasons: the black version has a lacquered finish that makes it eye-catching, while the burgundy color is just plain sexy and unlike any other. There's another difference between the two devices, besides just the color. The burgundy BlackJack has a textured finish on the back that makes the phone easy to grip, while the black version does not, so it's somewhat slick and prone to smudges, but that's not a deal breaker." Yes, this reviewer used the words sexy, and deal breaker in a cell phone review. Whoever the author of this review was, thanks for the laugh!
Hopefully I can claim victory over the graphing calculator soon, and no longer be the student my professor calls on to answer the question knowing I do not have a calculator. Oh, that will be the day!
