Life has been very good to me lately. If you're my Facebook friend, then you will have noticed that I needed to get a car before school started.
I got a much needed Pell Grant and I used the extra money to purchase a car and a new laptop for school. They will both help me out immensely. The car is a 2001 Kia Sephia with 59,000 miles on it. There has only been one owner and she had it for 9 years. She got it when she was 16 years old and she never had any issues with it.
I am taking it to the shop on Monday to get it checked out and get the emission tests so I can register the car. I already purchased it, and that was because my roommate (who is a mechanic) came with me. He said that there was nothing wrong with the car and for a price of $1500.00, why not? So, I did.
I also bought a new laptop, and that is such a blessing! The last computer that I have had has been in my family for about 9 years. It only had 70 GB of space and 256 MB of RAM. So, it was amazing 9 years ago, but now...with a computer that has 500 GB and 4 GB of RAM, it is quite the amazing upgrade!
My life and experiences are going well, too. I have been keeping myself very busy which helps my thoughts to stay clean and focused on the Savior. I love the direction my life is headed and I am glad for the people around me who are there to help me when I need them to.
Love you all!
Both my dad and Aaron are impressed with the car. They think that that was a really great price for a car that is 9 years old with only 59,000 miles on it. I'm glad you got a new computer too. That will be really awesome for you!
ReplyDeleteJust upgraded my computer, too! It's fantastic, though you needed the upgrade MUCH more than I did... man 256 MB of RAM?!
