what a wonderful world

Technology is amazing. I take it for granted a lot of the time.

There was a slight fiasco with the phone being delivered to my house. I was at school when it came yesterday and totally missed it. I called to see if I could pick it up at Fedex. It's possible, but it wasn't under my name, it's under my sis-in-law's since I'm under her plan. Ugh, I really dislike the dudes at Verizon up here. Just a bunch of young guys who look like they went to school together and are huge pals and decided to open up a Verizon. They also talked to me as if I was one of those girls who's drunk enough to drop her expensive phone in the toilet. NO! That did NOT happen to me! I was being amazing and adventurous, and my phone fell in a LAKE when my canoe capsized! That's right! Blurg. Not that that's any better...Anyway...

So if I were to pick it up at Fedex, only she could sign for it since it's addressed for her. Whereas if it came to my apartment, it wouldn't matter as long as anyone could sign for it.

The guy on the phone at Fedex was really helpful and scheduled another delivery for today since that would be the only way the phone could get into my hands. The package could be here anytime from now to 7pm. He gave me a tracking number, and for the past 3 hours or so I've been tracking every move of my package which contains my new phone. Right now it's on a truck, scheduled for delivery. I only hope that the front door to my building is unlocked when he gets here so that he can come to my door. I put up a sign asking people to leave it propped open.

Honestly, it's kind of nice not having a phone. I feel lighter without it. I mean, now I only carry these things in my purse:

-wallet
-pen
-small Molekine journal
-lip balm
-pepper spray
-hand sanitizer

That's like pre-fantastic technology era! Before we even had cell phones! But for safety reasons, I do like having it around in case I'm in a jam.

I only have ONE FINAL left, and then my college career is over. How odd.
