Well, I bought an MP3 player today to replace the one that was stolen back in May. It was the cheapest one at Wal-Mart; it cost about half what the old one cost in December, and has the same capacity and even more features.

I’ve been sloppy about going to the rec center since getting back from Bolivia, and I thought this would give me a little extra motivation. And I had the money this week, so I thought it was a good chance.
