So i got back from work on Thursday and i had a letter from the IRS. Cut to the chase... I've been sent back nearly £500 pounds in overpaid taxes. Dude! Sweet! So what do i do with it?
Firstly i send £200 to Ghana for my dad and siblings. Then i waste the rest on an iPod[1]. I got me a 15GB 3rd generation version. If you dont know what it means... dont worry about it cos i aont gonna spend my time explaning it to you.
I spent all of last night and tongiht researching about MP3 players with built in hard-drives and settled on the iPod. I went to Amazon to read the reviews staring from the worst rated to the best rated. One thing i kept coming accross with all the others was the fact that they seemed to last a year and then go dead somehow.
Also the heaver ones seems to take a real beating when dropped even from a short height. Infact the reviews were so confusing that i finally decided to throw caution with the wind and go with aesthetics. hence the iPod.
Even if it goes dead in a year, al least i know the tax man didnt steal my money.
Now about my Uni induction week... I finally got my timetable and i have Wednesdays free, which means i'll be working a full day then. I've got another half-day off i can use to work then i can rest weekends and take my driving lessons as week.
Also i got my first installment of the student loan. Let's just say -- in the words of Robbie Williams -- "I'm Rich!! [for a student]". Now about how to manage it for the next 4months....
