So, it has been a really long time since I have done this whole blogging thing. I have felt for awhile that I wanted to get back into it though. I don't know who regular I will be, however. I don't want to make any promises as I am actually busy this semester.
So my iPod broke a few days ago. On Tuesday I was working at my Job at the amazing Broyhill Event Center. I was putting some tables and chairs back into their proper storage areas and i assume that my iPod broke sometime in that process. I, like my iPod, was crushed. I use my iPod constantly. My friend Josh referred to it as self medication for over-thinking. I do too much thinking about things that are out of my control or, and mainly, in the past. All it does is make me sad, which is completely pointless. There used to be a time in which I couldn't sleep if it wasn't playing in my ears. Thankfully, to sleep, I now only need to listen to it before I decide to actually sleep.
Without my iPod I was drowning in my own thoughts. Other people were starting to catch on that something was wrong and asking me what was up. It seemed weird to say that I was suffering because of a missing iPod, so I just said that I was having a bad week. Which was only a misdirection from the main cause. My week was turning pretty sour thanks to the iPod. I forgot about a class completely, which I am going to say would never happen if I was in my right mind and well rested. Finally after a not fun Friday I decided to end my troubles.
On Wednesday I had decided that I couldn't wait for me to save up and I would have to do so retroactively. I set out to order myself a new iPod. I first had already decided that I wanted an iPod touch. I first looked at the apple store and was all ready to order from them before I saw that they required a signature of delivery, which makes sense with the price of the product. This policy is a problem for me because I'm not home as set times, and it is impossible to get to my door without a key. Since that wasn't going to work I went to the next best choice. Walmart. Sadly they didn't have any at the store when I went the next day. I ordered one online to have shipped to the store, sadly this was going to take until next Thursday. Cue Friday, I was going crazy. I had gone to Walmart with David and I peeked in the electronics section. there was a touch that was sectioned away from the others...could it be a touch? David was in a too much of a hurry, as he was heading to Winston to visit a nice girl, for me to check. Later after some other not fun thinking and conversations I finally decided that I had to check. Josh enabled my bad life decisions and took me to Walmart to check.
Like a miracle it was the exact one I had wanted. A 4th gen. 32gb iPod touch. I had to cancel my online order with a girl at the counter, who told me it would take 24-72 hours for the refund to come through, and buy the new one. So at the time I had purchased two iPod touches. Worth it. I am currently in love with my new iPod. I am now re-self-medicated and happy. Thank you Apple and Roosterteeth (the sound part of my medicine) for saving my brain and happiness.
