Car Situation

For those of you who i didnt tell (tried to keep on the d/l) on may 7, 2007 on the morning of my biochem final I realized that my car was missing. So after i took my test (roommate took me to school) I talked to the apt. manager to see if they had towed any cars. They said that they didnt, which really started to make me worry. So i called the local towing company just to make sure and they said that they hadnt towed any cars in the complex. So now its almost certain the vehicle is stolen. I call the cops at around 10 am and file the report. In the mean time the insurance ppl got me a PT cruizer as a rental while i was in FL. I fly back home on may 22nd for summer vacation. The insurance people gave me another car to drive chevy malibu (V6). After a month or so goes by, my rental coverage expires and they said they wouldnt pay anymore because it was over my limit But they did have a supplemental coverage of about $15/day which doesnt cover anything. So then i got a Suzuki for 3 days afterwhich i returned due to the smokey smell, and then started driving a Mitsubishi Lancer. I had to pay like $10/day out of pocket cuz of the cheap ass insurance company that punishes me for their slow ass work. I finally get the check for the car that was stolen for 17,800, (i bought the car brand new for 35K back in april 2002). Obviously this money isnt going to buy me any sort of new car, so i shop for Used ones. I stumbled upon a guy who is selling his car because his company is giving him a company car and he decides to save money and sell his car. its a 2004 Black TL with Navigation only 38,500 miles compared to the 49000 miles of my old car which was a 2003 Acura TL type S. Although they are only one year apart the body is totally redesigned and there are a lot of extra features in the 2004. It has bluetooth in the car that can connect with your phone. Its got Hands Free Link where you just talk to your car. XM satellite, DVD audio, Multi Display interface where it displays all sorts of stuff in the dash from Trip info to gas mileage to hands free settings to personalized settings. I have it so that whenever the car reaches 10 mph it automatically locks all the doors. And when the Car is turned off it automatically unlocks, but i might change that to unlocking when i switch to Park. All in all the 10 extra HP (270 hp) and the navigation system make the car really nice and im very happy. I had to pay 22,500 so about 4500 out of pocket but i think its worth it.

2nd year has officially begun

Yes its the 4th of july and our school started 2 days ago...thankfully we got july 4th off, but how ridiculous is that. Go to school for two days have a day off and go to school for another 2 days. Wait a minute, i actually prefer that schedule, too bad every week isnt like this. However i'd prolly prefer to just have a 3 day weekend instead, gives more opportunity to travel and see loved ones. School isnt bad so far but i know it'll get crazy later on. I just pray that i can retain the stuff that i learn. I do have a Test on monday in pathology, should be interesting.

on a totally unrelated note, the Rockets organization is retarded. They ended up drafting a 5'11 point guard from Oregon. Great yet another guard..another SHORT guard nonetheless. Sure the short ones can run fast, but they cant guard anyone to save their life, mainly because of their size. The guards we have now under contract are: mike james, rafer, john lucas, luther head, sura, snyder, and now aaron brooks. When i first saw that they drafted him, i thought for sure we were making a deal happen possibly a sign and trade. But no, the rockets are dumb they passed up on some decent PF and got the shortest guy in the draft. Great that really solves are HUGE problem at PF..we only have 2 PF (chuck hayes, and chris landry) Sure novak has the height of a PF but he shoots 3s and cant guard a rock to save his life. I hope rick adelman can convince the organization that they need to make a deal to get a PF! Drew gooden, mikki moore, camby, anyone that can get a bunch of rebounds and play good D!!! thats all we need. I check the bbs night and day hoping to read a headline that the rockets have indeed made a trade. To no avail i have been disappointed since the draft. Hopefully we'll make some moves b4 preseason starts.
