Big week

Well, the week has been a pretty eventful one for me. For starters, I bought my first cell phone, the Samsung Galaxy Prevail.

It's a prepaid phone on boost mobile. It's on the Android operating system (I have 2.3.5). I've never felt so connected before. With the 3g network, I can be almost anywhere and check emails, text, call, stream music on Rhapsody, etc. I am going to work to pay off the service bills by myself, but I think it's totally worth it.

The phone itself is quite nice. It is usually $150, but it was on sale at Radio Shack for $100. It's got a camera, GPS, WiFi, and a micro-SD slot.

Android is really an amazing mobile OS. The voice recognition is especially incredible. It's so dependable, that I have grown accustomed to using it instead of the keyboard (though I am trying to break the habit, so I can get used to the keyboard).

The other bit of news is that I went to take my driver's permit test today. I was terribly afraid that I wouldn't pass. After waiting almost two hours, it was finally my turn. However, I never even ended up taking my test, because I failed the vision exam. This means that tomorrow, I need to see an eye doctor, who will probably prescribe glasses for me. Apparently, I have 20/40 vision in my left eye.

Well, I don't mind glasses, and I'll probably only have to wear them while driving anyways. Hopefully I'll get my permit soon. I'll probably end up taking it before January 9th.

Well, that wraps it up. Cherio and Happy New Years!
