Early Bird Special

Thanks to daylight savings time, I have been waking up earlier than usual. The weather has been unusually beautiful, so I decided to take advantage of it this morning and go for a run in Prospect Park (I might or might not be training for a half-marathon). Prospect Park is a haven for me; I feel so lucky that we live close by and are able to have a small piece of nature in this beast of a city. When I got home, I had plenty of time to shower, make a latte, hang out with Colin and bike to class, which started at 11. AFter classes ended at 3:45, I had an appointment at the Apple Store, since my iPod stopped working and needed some doctoring. As it turned out, they simply replaced the iPod on the spot, free of charge. As excited as I was, it made me wonder what was happening to the old iPod: did they take it apart and use the parts for something else? Did they simply chuck it? I love the idea of an iPod: compared to owning hundreds of CDs, iPods are much more sufficient. But it makes you wonder about all the old versions of iPods that are tossed when new ones come out...
By the time I got home, it was getting dark, and Colin didn't have time to go to the co-op, so I was going to go. I was dreading the trip until I saw that our bike panniers had arrived! We'd been waiting about a month for them. I immediately put mine on my bike, and was suddenly thrilled to have a chance to use it right away. It is quite a life saver, and I can't wait to use it with my school books as well.
It is 9pm and I am just about ready to go to sleep...
