Wish List

Yesterday as I walked to campus to give a presentation, I was thinking about what I need in my life to be more successful.  I decided I should make a living document of my wish list for future reference for me and the generous gift givers in my life (read: mom+dad). Here we go.

• Bag.

Just about every week I find myself walking to campus with a suit on and wearing a backpack. This is an awkward combination as the suit gets rumpled by the back pack but I don’t have any other ways to carry my computer and a notebook.  I don’t want a Timbuk2 bag like half of Seattle uses (and my sister).  Although the functionality would serve my purpose, I think I would need a fixed-gear bike and large, black-rimmed glasses to rock the Timbuk2.  But I don’t know where that leaves me. I don’t want a full blown brief case because I am not ready to concede to that level of grownup-ness.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

• Suit.

As I mentioned above, I wear a suit often to events at school.  I have one suit and one sport coat, but I need (read: want) a couple more.  If I need to wear a suit two days in a  row and it gets dirty on the first day, I’m pretty much out of luck

• Shoes.

I could always use more dress shoes.  Also, I need to get some regular shoes to wear to school. It’s been a while since the last time I went shoe shopping

• Computer.

This one has much less precedence than the items listed above but I will include it for the sake of completeness.  I love my Dell, but I really want a 15″ Mac Book Pro to complement it.  1.they’re sexy,2.I want to learn to program in Objective-C for the iPhone this summer and I need an Intel-powered Mac to do so and 3.I enjoy learning new systems and have been sheltered from Apple computers my entire life
