TVs and College and Taxes, Oh my.

General
TV: My television, which is likely older than I am, finally shit the bed. The coax input on it just died. I can still use it, but I need to use the A/V jack, meaning I play a game of wire fishing every time I want to go from TV to xbox or vice versa.
College: Financial Aid is approved for $6,500 for the 2011 - 2012 school year. This is enough to fund college and give me about $600 extra each semester. Finally back to school *cheers and dances*
Taxes: Did my tax returns yesterday, and my haul will be $1600, which is not bad at all. This will give me funding to fix my brake on my car, buy a newer, larger TV, and still have money left over for other as yet undetermined activities. (edit) laptop is one such "undetermined activity"
Other shit: Only 9.5 weeks until I move to a part-time schedule at work. More me time, less "I hate my job" time. Also, I have applied to be on Who Wants to be a Millionaire. Wish me luck in my endeavor to be rich, or at least win enough for some breathing room. Finally, I am studying up on my math so I can try to exempt out of a few courses at school. Don't wish me luck with that, wish me the perseverance and focus to do so.

Give the TV a dignified funeral: I'd go viking if you can.
