I’m currently looking into purchasing a new iPod. (Who would have guessed that after five years my iPod nano may suddenly stop working?) The thing is, I don’t want to buy one brand new because as a recent grad, I like to be as frugal as possible. I’ve been looking into a lot of sites where you can both sell and buy electronics, but with some of them I just feel overwhelmed by the search results.

As I walked from my car to the registration desk inside the hotel, six different people greeted me and one offered to get me water. One person offered to take my bags, two doors were opened for me, and a chilled bottle of water was presented to me on a silver tray. “Would you like some ice in a glass for your water?” “No thanks, I’m fine,” was my answer. What I should have said was, “Yes, thank you, and I’d also like to live here for the rest of my life!” I couldn’t believe I was in the lobby of the Beverly Wilshire, checking in to this beautiful place.
