Surprise!
Another update today. :3
The fuse in my cigarette lighter was broken, so the car dealer replaced it for me and now my GPS works fine. :3 I used it to drive home, and I'm thinking about using it tomorrow when we drive to the airport, but I probably won't rely on it too much because the roads to the airport have been under construction for a while and the GPS might not have them registered on the map correctly. I think I might do some comfort shopping after I drop my boyfriend off, and that'll probably be a good way for me to get used to my GPS, even though I don't really plan on buying anything.
By some miracle, the mochi I ordered from Amazon a few days ago arrived today, and I'm surprised and a little disappointed that it tastes very similar to the half-assed mochi that I cooked in the microwave myself ages ago. I guess it would probably taste better without the extra flour coating it, but without the flour the mochi would be very sticky, so I understand why it was necessary. I'm glad that it arrived today at least; I was worried that it wouldn't get here until tomorrow and then my boyfriend wouldn't have been able to try it. I don't think he particularly cared for it, but at least he got to try it. Personally, I think I'm going to stick to mochi ice cream from now on. I will finish the stuff I bought (and share it with anyone who wants some) because I spent good money on it, but I probably won't buy it again.
In other news, I've been having the worst time trying to download Granado Espada. If it weren't so pretty, I would probably have given up on it by now. I've tried to download it from two different websites today. The first one was a zip file that took forever to finish and then turned out to be corrupt, and the second one was a downloader program that crashed halfway through the download and then tried to start over when I ran it again, even though the completed parts of the download were right where it left them. :\ There are some forces at work trying to prevent me from playing this game. I'm also a little worried by an awful review of it that I found on Google earlier today. However, since it's free, I'm not going to pass up trying it myself just because of a bad review, even though it'll most likely end up being a waste of my time either way. That's what I'm looking for, after all. :3
Oh, something interesting happened the other day. I was looking at a floor plan of my dorm building to see how far my room was from the bathroom and other places, and out of curiosity while I was looking up my room assignment, I also went to look at my roommate status again, and I noticed that they changed my roommate assignment. It made me wonder why they made the change; did my first roommate decide not to attend VCU, or did she find another place to live? Or did VCU Housing swap her with somebody else because they thought that based on our major programs, she'd get along with somebody else better or vice versa? I guess I'll never know, but I secretly hope that my roommate will be an art major or share some common interests with me, even though that isn't very likely. I'll be happy even if that isn't the case, as long as we can get along.
Well, that's all for now. Hopefully by tomorrow I'll be done downloading this thing so I can start wasting my time playing it.

Shoes and other distractions
The shoes arrived the next day, and with free shipping! I can't believe how awesome that is. No wonder everyone loves Zappos. :3 Now, if only I could afford to buy shoes from them more often.
Other than that, I don't have much to say. I'm up early because I'm going to the car dealer to have them look at my car's cigarette lighter because it doesn't seem to be working. If only a regular lighter could power my new GPS. I just hope they can get it working because I've already opened the thing and started using it. I've even mounted the permanent disk that it sticks to on my dashboard already, so I'm pretty sure I can't return it.
I'm also downloading a new MMORPG, Granado Espada, because I'm getting a little bored of playing kRO2 and Granado Espada seems to have an interesting character system. I'll probably play it obsessively for a few weeks or months and then abandon it like every other MMO I've played, but at least for a while it'll be a pretty little distraction to keep my mind off of my anxiety about VCU and the fact that my boyfriend will be gone tomorrow.
Anyway, I need to finish getting ready to go. I may write later today, but no promises.
