ASHLEY AND I were talking on Instant Messenger a few days back when we started discussing my upcoming college education.

Ashley says:
u dont have a nice calculator do u?
Aubrey says:
nope, gotta go get one.
Ashley says:
if i had one id let you have it.
Aubrey says:
thanks, that means a ton.
Ashley says:
not really since i dont have one!
Ashley says:
um i just did something.
Aubrey says:
what?
Ashley says:
you dont need a calculator anymore.
thats all for now.

Well, she did it. She bought me a calculator, and I love it. For one, it’s my favorite color.

For two, it has many, many useful looking buttons.

I say “useful looking” because I’m sure they have a great purpose. I just don’t know what that is yet.

But I will learn. Oh yes, I will learn.

It’s just an awesome calculator overall.

And  – I can’t believe I’m going to admit this – but I’m actually excited to start math.
