Veishea weekend was fun and pleasantly uneventful in comparison to the last Veishea I attended. I wasn’t maced once this year! :) I spent Friday night in campustown attending the CD release party of Parallex, one of my favorite bands. I picked up their CD and a t-shirt. Afterwards, Dana, Kate, Lisa, Joe and I all headed to central campus to take part in the all-you-can-eat midnight pancake feast, but the line was several hundred people long and I decided cheap pancakes weren’t worth an hour-plus wait.
Saturday, Dana and I headed down to Karl Chevrolet to test drive a car. Specifically, a 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt LT. I liked it, as I figured I would (I did about 10 hours of online research first). I went to the dealer with very detailed specs about what I wanted on the car. He didn’t have one, and after a search, discovered there wasn’t one like it within $250 miles. So I gave up on the pretty blue color I had picked out and went with the black instead, and there was one in Illinois he can have shipped our way. So, assuming a lack of financing snafus, I should have a new car by the end of the week! :) It’ll be my first new-new car, so I’m pretty excited. The payments are going to be high compared to what I have now, but it’ll be worth it if I don’t have to dread driving to and from work every day. It’s a 5-speed manual with lots of standard features (air, cruise, airbags, power windows/locks, etc) and a few fun extras like a spoiler, moonroof, and fantastic 7-speaker system from Pioneer (4 6×9″s, 2 tweeters in the front, and a 10″ sub in the trunk). I decided not to get the leather, as I couldn’t mentally justify the additional expense (plus black leather in a black car sounds painful in the summer), but I think it’ll still be a pretty spiffy ‘mobile.
I’m almost out of the woods as far as school goes. I’m starting to see the end. I’ve got a big project due yet this week which will make the next few days tough (especially now that I have a car to obsess over), but after that it’s all moving and graduating and having fun for a few days until I start the new job, which is still sounding great. Thus, today is a good day.
