Death of a Cell Phone

Mara the dog decided my cell phone would be a cool chew toy. Left it on the coffee table for like 15 minutes, found it in its damaged state laying on the dog bed. Surprisingly, it is still functional. I just can't access all the useful features...because the screen is shot to hell, basically blue but with a tiny gap of the "forest lane" background still visible. This means that I have a tiny window into my list of contacts. But all the other features are unusable now. No alarm clock. I can't see who is calling me. I can't verify if the number I've punched in is right...etc.

So, eventually I think I'm going to see about a free upgrade at the Verizon store. I'm pretty sure I can get a free phone if I sign a contract for another year or two with Verizon. Oh, I'll be glad to get out of here.

Today was surprisingly hot out. Lovely really. Time to get the shorts out. I ended up driving to campus twice, because I had to deal with the freaking Great Dane this morning as Jen and Tommy weren't back yet. The second time I flat out missed the bus. And since I'd already parked in district A for two hours, I perused Orchard (like the only unlabeled city parking anywhere near campus!) which of course was full. So, I ended up parking way the fuck away from campus and being late for my lab. BUT, oh well. No big deal. Just a tad bit frustrating.

Oh yes, I had my wetlands midterm today, which I did well on. Studied sufficiently. Next up is botany on Friday, which I will begin studying for tomorrow. Joy!

But hey, it's week 6.
