I got two out of the three things I wanted to set up set up today. *looks at a screw sitting on her keyboard* Okay, one of three. Anyway, they were to finish putting together the vacuum, setting up the DVD player and setting up my computer speakers.
In order to accomplish these things, I stopped at Rite Aid on the way home and bought a screwdriver and a power strip.
Then I attempted to set up the DVD player. The wires provided are worthless to me. The video wire fits way too loosely into the DVD player. While I was testing with Spirit, I had to hold the damn thing in place just to get a picture. I also had a problem with the audio wire. As in there were two plugs on each end. The DVD player had 2 audio jacks but alas my TV only has one jack. You would think that Toshiba would make their own products compatable, no? Hopefully will be calling their tech support about that tomorrow. As both products are made by the same company, I think they should provide replacement wires.
Then I put together the vacuum. Except not really, as there is a menecing-looking screw sitting on my keyboard. Then I cleaned my room so that I could actually try out the vacuum. I spent a lot of time under my desk trying make all of my wires not as messy. I am quite proud of how neat it looks right now; amazing what rubber bands can do. Then I vacuumed. I love my vacuum: it actually works! As in I didn't have to run over my hair a few times to see it still not be picked up as was the case with the Valencia vacuums. It also fits nicely into the bathroom for storage.
Then I set up the speakers (whoops, I added two wires...) and enjoyed singing along. I think I will test the absolute loudness of my music tomorrow afternoon ]=).
Oh, yeah. So before any of this happened there was school and work. Despite the pretty much cramming of Psychology, I think I did okay on the test. Definitely more confident about that than my Sociology test that I had on Friday (note to self: check score tomorrow). For Sociology, I was suppose to have my critique due. I had the article and read a little bit of it but didn't start writing. I was originally just going to say "screw it" altogether but I decided to work on it because 1 point is better than no points. I was surprised at myself. I wrote a one and half page summary, double spaced sans name area, of my article in 3 hours and 20 minutes while working. Considering that I tried to do the same thing for the last critique and only got it to be one page plus 2 lines with everything double spaced (including the header). Then I went to boring Sociology. So glad I get to miss it the rest of the week. So now all I have left for summer school is 2 essays and 2 finals.
