Interesting Night
Where do i start? I started off my day by volunteering at my niece's elementary school, she is in the kindergarten. I worked with her class for about two hours. I then went to my college to buy my books. Would you believe that my books and the TI-89 calculator totaled $620?

This is the interesting part. I have been in VA for a little more then two weeks. I just got back yesterday. On arriving, i discovered that something was wrong with my Dell Laptop. I finally called the cable company and got one problem fixed and then discovered another.

Long story short, i called Dell and spoke with a nice Indian gentleman. I, as posted, am 20. When dealing with the gentleman, he kept referring to me as "Ma'am." After correcting him several times, he said something that i thought was weired. He said, "sorry sir, but you have a soothing voice, you would be a hit in this part of the world." I did not get offended, but what about the "meme" of homosexuality in "that" part of the world? I am straight, but i do have a high-pitched voice. But his response perplexed me. He kept making comments like that, should i have been offended?

On a side note, was it me or was tonight a really great night for democrats?
