I'm not professionally diagnosed with OCD. It's just a self-diagnosis. I just have a certain (sometimes side-eye inducing) preference for furniture arrangement and cleanliness.
But what have I been doing aside cleaning? Aha! I've been reading. I shall do an entry about that some other time. I've been reading and looking for work and watching television. Still no calls. I've been calling the employment agency every now and then asking if there's any job that they can hurl my way, and there's none, so far. I mean, I like being at home but I hate it too. And I need money. I need money for school, for books, for school...
University in a foreign place is definitely money-draining. I know I've been here for almost four years now, and I should call it "home", but meh. Still a foreign-ass place if you ask me.
On the topic of this blog, I need new headphones for my iPod. I've also been eyeing a wireless mouse and a task/ computer chair. I used to have the iPod headphones but they broke (what's new). I tried patching them up with electrical tape but that just irritated the hell out of my ear. Then the right earphone completely fell apart when I was in the library. Sigh. I have a Skullcandy one that he gave me for our first Christmas together, but I just feel iffy using the things he has given me, now that we're not together. Besides, that one is broken too, no sound comes out of one of the earphones. So I plan to buy this (while it's on sale)

They're on sale for around $10, which is alright. I mean, anything on sale is okay with me. The wires are pink which matches my iPod (yes, I am very matchy-matchy! Not really when it comes to clothes) and the headphones themselves are orange. Very girly and summery.
This is the Microsoft Mobile Wireless Mouse 4000. I don't know how much they are but the 3500's are around $35, so I'm guessing these are going to be a little more pricey. I don't have any issues with the track pad here on my laptop but a mouse would be really handy.
Finally, I'd really like a computer chair. The chair our residence gave us was so bad - its height was disproportionate to the table's height, so I spent many hours studying and crushing my chest against the table edge. Trust me, I've tried everything - from propping myself up with pillows and cushions to every position imaginable. The issue with computer chairs here is (aside from being expensive) is that they don't rise that much! I like studying with my feet dangling, I don't know why. I've found one computer chair that does that, but I didn't buy it because I was going to wait till September rolls around and Staples has their back-to-school sale (oh, the downside of waiting for sales all the time). My dad told me to get a leather chair so that it would be easy to clean. Another downside? Leather is expensive, man! But the chair I liked was leather and it was around $100-$130.

Why you so expensive?!
But this coming September, I really need one though. I can't imagine studying on that awful chair again.
