I haven\’t been home for two weeks and somehow…now everything seems just so clean and so new compared to my apartment. The bathroom doesn\’t have a strange smell. The carpet is free of hairballs. The kitchen is full of dirt made by shoes. So fresh and so clean!

Yet I must admit, my apartment is in its current state because of us three college students. Who really wants to clean every week anyway?

It\’s funny too. I have discovered that my dad is really into deal stuff now. Although I told him about my cousin Jeff\’s deals page, he has gotten wrapped in the forums – Fatwallet.com and GotApex.com. He enjoys reading about how greedy some of the board members are. \”I purposefully tore some holes in my shoes and sent them to Nike hoping for a free replacement, but they just promptly sent them back to me.\” And that joy is coming from the same person who gets a kick out of Jerry Springer.
