CHECK OUT THE NEW BAIRDMOBILE!!!

I BOUGHT A CAR!!! (Pictured above is an artist's description of said automobile.)
That's right, the Antelope bicycle may now get some rest (it's been rusting out by the train station for the last month or so, but I digress.)
I bought a 2000 Ford Taurus, which is blue and has 56,000 miles. It is the first car I've purchased and had in my name. I've been pinching pennies for months, and outright bought it, no sucker financing for me.
I tried my best negotiating with the dealer, getting him down a few hundred dollars. As it was, I paid about $1k less than the Blue Book Value. It's great to have a car, I finally have some freedom!
This was the biggest thing I accomplished over break, thanks to my dad for helping me. I also read 1600 pages of Harry Potter and ran a few 100 miles. I made friends with a weird man named Remus and a local celebrity who championed an 11 pound burger-- but I'll save an honorary post to her for later in the week, as I have run out of time this evening.
I now officially mourn the conclusion of winter break. Tonight marked my first class, which seems to be a winner. 4 person teams write business proposals for the entire semester. I think that a door-to-door barber, or someone that would come to your house to cut your hair would be a good idea. I didn't mention it to my team for fear of banishment and/or ridicule.
Well, these gents need a haircut and a trimmy trim trim around the pipes: http://www.worldbeardchampionships.com/. Some awesome specimens here.
Cheers!
