WARNING LONG RANT
Alright!
Prom weekend!
Woooo! Yeah. Hell yeah. I'm a senior. We had our prom this Friday.
BUT. Let me backtrack.
This past Tuesday, I had a project in Physics due. It basically counts for 3 test grades.
My group procrastinated until the weekend before to work on it. We literally spent every waking moment with each other working on this catapult, knowing that we needed to get a good grade and perfect it. Monday comes, we're basically done, now we just need to tweak things.
So, we work all Monday on it.
And finally, at 10pm, we finish it. And I ******** rejoice. We're yelling, screaming, jumping up and down, and starting group hugs in the middle of the street where I live.
Now, part of the reason why we got it done at all, was because of two of my junior friends who aren't even in the class, but were enlisted to help.
So, I go to drive them home.... neglecting the fact that my cellphone and wallet are on the roof of my car. A jogger finds the wallet and returns it in the morning. They didn't see any cellphone.
Alright, whatever. That phone was old -AND- my contract had ran out last year. And I'm graduating soon! I'm allowed to get the Chocolate phone! Yeah! That's what I'll do! I mean, it makes sense. I can get a more expensive phone as a graduation present, and I can get one that I can get songs from my computer onto it, since I don't have an iPod. Chocolate sounds great!
Thursday - Get the phone after school.
Friday - Senior Prom - Drive to the shore afterwards.
Saturday - My airheaded friend was holding all my stuff for me in her purse, because men don't carry purses but we're at the beach so I still have a lot of s**t. So, she has my cellphone, my wallet, and the two bottles of spray-on sunscreen for my sexy albino-esque body.
There was a tide pool that got pretty deep. She noticed that there were wild hermit crabs in it. She brought her bag with her, because she as afraid it would get stolen. She bends down to pick one up, and the purse dunks into the water. ******** days old. A ******** hundred and fifty goddamn dollar for a phone I only got to use for three days.
My parents are sneaky, and bought insurance for the phone the second they found out. But, sometimes Verizon insurance doesn't cover water damage? But apparently this one does? But, the phone was just dipped and was immediately dried off. I can't tell if the water damage spots have changed color or not, because the new dots my phone has are different from the ones I'm used to.
If the insurance doesn't cover it?
A. Use an old, shitty phone. 100 down the drain [After a 50 buck rebate].
B. Make Nikki [My friend] spend up to 300 dollars on replacing my phone.
Why double the price? It's because I bought my phone while upgrading my plan that had expired.
If it does?
Well, then I wait 7-10 days for a new phone. I wouldn't make Nikki pay for the 50 dollar fee, because her father is a professional photographer, and did prom photoshoots for my date and I for free. At prom, the photoshoots were around that much.
I. I don't even know what to think. It pissed me off, I'm still pissed off. I still had a great time with my friends at the beach for a whole weekend away from adults. But, It just annoys me so badly that it has to work out this was.
It's so funny, though. At the Verizon store, I was torn between two phones. The Chocolate that I ultimately bought and lost. And the Shock/Water/Dust proof phone for the same price.
I almost bought the latter, because my last phone:
Dropped in cat's water bowl. [Spitefully, I might add.]
Dropped on concrete and all over the place a million times.
Lose it outside. Overnight icestorm. Find it in the morning. Put it under lamp for a few hours - works perfectly.
The only reason I didn't just keep the phone I had, was because it was LOST. It was -still- ringing, after being thrown off the roof of my car.
