So, this weekend I was productive and went over the finances with mommy. Basically, I won't have any debts from my non-merit-scholarship freshman year if I give up getting a car for graduation.
I'll certainly keep the Camry of Love a while longer, thank you very much.
So instead, I've been given the option to get a *different* graduation present. The same applies to my dad, since I doubt I'll need an extra TV to take to Austin with me. I have two available presents, so I'm thinking the following: Laptop and modded Xbox.
The laptop would be a small, non-powerful, inexpensive one, since I've already got enough horsepower on the main rig. Yes, I'd take two computers down there.
(interruption by Brian Wodarski (pronounced Waterski): The Tard Blog is the only thing this month that's actually offended me.)
Mommy can get me a cheap Dell, so that's what she's interested in. I know for a fact they make great laptops, so I'm not complaining.
As for father, I'm thinking I'll request an Xbox, an OEM hard drive from Fry's, and $50 for a modchip. Once the parts come in, I'll do all the hard work, and I'll never have to buy an Xbox game for as long as I live. Can anyone think of anything else that I'd possibly need in college life that could be covered with a ~$500 graduation present?
