Also I bought a 1 gb minisd from buy.com for 20 dollars after rebate. Although they are sending me a free one after I remain with tmobile for 3 months. So total cost of the phone was only activation: 35 dollars. not bad for a decent camera, music player, video player and wi-fi deal. It works really well with the mobile espn pages. I'm pretty impressed. In the 4 or 5 days I've had it it has locked up 2 or 3 times but i think it was more due to the extreme heat than anything else. also it starts to run slow due to opening up different programs (they keep running in the background just like regular windows) but luckily there is a task manager included so you just you need to close windows everyonce in awhile. Biggest perk: wifi and music player and cheap memory expansion. Biggest blow: small buttons. Although I got used to the button size after a couple of days its not really a big deal unless your a text nazi, which I'm not. Call quality is pretty good and I really like the speakerphone. there are better phones out there for sure but this has such good extras its hard to pass up, especially when its free. And i just had to ditch verizon has they make you pay for thinking about putting music on your phone. I've already made several file transfers and they went fairly smooth. I was able to access most web sites and all my email although several sites which require sequre logins I was not able to access: my college and my banking info. Anyway all in all its got flare and it will surely knock your socks off.

thus i wrestle with sanity

Troy woke up this morning at 7 am and took 3 quizzes. Then Troy went to class at 10 am. Class ended at noon and Troy worked until 2.15 pm. Troy went to his mentoring session with his cell bio professor from 2.15 till 3 pm. He then worked until 5.30 pm.

I'm trying to make more frequent posts. I'm also trying to make them as boring as possible. Troy is good. Troy is fun. Watch Troy run. Watch Troy bask in the sun. Time for bed said Troy to himself as he typed his last words of the day and thought about all the complicated intricacies of life and all that saying something like that implies and says about who said it who masks himself behind his true persona behind words and mumbled phrases because he is afraid of letting out his emotions and becoming a vunerable man child. Yes, man child go to sleep. Sleep little padowin.

my 4th

I went to bed at 9.30 pm. And I took a 2 hour nap today. I'm addicted to sleeping. Time for bed.
