Computer

So here's the deal! I really, really need a new computer. I spend a good 4-5 hours a day on the computer doing homework! My computer is so old and out of date. So, I'm putting this out there for help.

I don't want a laptop because by the time I'm done with school, I'm gonna have to buy a new one. So I am looking for a PC.

I don't know much about computers. I wouldn't even know what to ask about if I called someone, and I don't want to get duped.

So, your input is being requested. What type of PC's are the best? Is there a best? Who is good to buy from? Who has great customer service if a computer illiterate person has to call for questions? Is it even possible to get an "English speaking" human on the line? (Or is that part really too much to ask for?)

Anyway, you get the idea. I'm open for suggestions.

Thanks!

WSU

So I have changed my course of education. I am switching from getting my BA in Human Resources to getting my BA in Accounting. I have looked at a couple different business schools and I'm pretty sure I am going to go WSU-Tri-Cities Campus. WSU has a campus in Vancouver, WA which is where I really want to move to. However, it would be better to live with DeAnne and Justin, rather than paying all of my own living expenses, while living off of student loans.

I have found out in my search of schooling, that I must also learn a foreign language. WSU has what is called a "Global Learning Credit." This requires me to one of many different things to satisfy this credit. The only one that is feasible to me is to minor in a foreign language. So, I shall be learning to speak in Espanol! I'm excited though, because I loved my Spanish classes in high school. Besides, it's probably going to be our national language soon! That's all I'll say about that!

So, I have had to make some decisions about what is best for me and my pocketbook. My lease is over at the end of August, and the Borders have graciously offered me a room in their house. (I think Crystyne really just wants company!) Which, of course, I will be more than willing to oblige. So, in a nut shell, I'm moving out and workin on applying to WSU. I can transfer to WSU with 60 credits rather than 90 credits, which most schools require.

I'm really excited. And although working full time and going to school full time is kicking my butt, I am still lovin it! I really am quite looking forward to taking the summer off though.... not gonna lie about that!

Happy sunshine days await!
