The bad thing about leaving your house if that you immediately want to start spending insano-crazy amounts of money. And the same thing happens with getting on the Internet or watching TV. So, I’ve resolved to throw out my computer, lock myself in my room, and play Super Nintendo for the rest of my life.

If I tried to fit the events of the past two days into one entry, you’d all probably come to my house and kick me in the shins because it’d be so long.

EBay is a sellers market without a doubt. The United States Postal Service, however, is not. Not for the eBay sellers at least. I go in there as soon after it opens as I can manage and still I end up stuck at the end of a gigantic line. People getting passports are the worst. It takes like a hundred hours to get everything set up, while everyone else is standing around with thousands of pounds of mail waiting to be sent off.

Well, it’s been a year and nine days since I started andrewwelsh.net, and just like this same time last year I’m working a ton and thinking about what it’s going to be like attending a new school in the fall.
