Off the grid...

From a financial standpoint, I could not survive any longer paying for 3G service for my Mytouch from T-mobile.  It was a great phone, one that I even reviewed.   I was paying, through my parents, around $30 a month for unlimited data and texting.

Not just that, but I had put in a couple hundred bucks back in September to get an iPad that I sincerely hold close to my heart.  I was in constant Wifi access when I was either at home, in my dorm, or at class.  I didn't need to have 3G anymore.

So, I confronted my father to make the drive to the T-mobile store and pick up a 'dump' phone.  At the end of the day, I ended with the a very slick-looking Samsung Gravity 3 (see right).

This is my first phone to have a full keyboard, so I'm a little excited for this next chapter in my life.

Now, got to do some Particle Mechanics and Material Science homework for tomorrow.  There's that massive Nor'easter coming up the coast, and apparently, 7 to 12 inches of snow is supposed to fall in the Capital Region.  Can't wait to see my 8am canceled.
