Good Idea, Bad Idea
Good Idea:We went ahead and pulled the trigger on a laptop for Jie last week. It came in yesterday, and it's very nice. Not only that, but it is approximately as good as my laptop in every way, save size and weight, and it costs less than half as much. If we ordered it this week it would be about $250 more expensive.
Bad Idea:I went with 40 other members of the section on an all-night trip to Foxwoods Casino last night. We left campus around 6:30pm and arrived back at 7:30am this morning. Including the cost of the bus, dinner, and my gambling losses those 13 hours of entertainment cost me $155. Not as bad as some, but it sures seems like I would have been better off hanging out here and getting more than 3 hours of sleep.
