Black Friday

So at 12 AM Friday morning my cousins and I ventured to CompUSA. We didn’t expect to see the 200+ people waiting in line of the front door for the midnight opening sale. Instead of being crazy we just waited inside the car for the door to open and hoped that the line would move fast. While sitting in the car, several more cars came into the lot in our section and then suddently after 5 minutes that lot was full. CompUSA is also right next to Best Buy at Braintree, so you could see how far the line stretched. I’m sure there was even some people beginning to wait at BB for the 5 am opening.

So after CompUSA opened there doors, we went in. I think I wasted too much time since I really didn’t memorize what was on sale beforehand and being the fact that I haven’t stepped in the store for awhile I didn’t know exactly where each item was located at. I ended up with an Antec Notebook cooler, 100 blank DVD+Rs, Logitech wireless notebook mouse, and a Netgear USB wireless network adapter. That line for the cash register was long. Luckily one of my cousins also happened to be at the store and was near the front of the line. That was great otherwise, I would have been in the store for another hour. I think my cousin needed my help also since he managed to get 2 200GB hard drives, but the store only allowed one per customer.

I also managed to do something stupid, since I’m usually aware of my surroundings but I was thrown off by the rush of the crowd. Lesson learned.

Other than that I really didn’t purchase anything else, nothing has been that appealing this year. Also, I think my wallet got smaller this time around since I haven’t been going to work as much for the past few weeks due to my busy academic work.

I have to say I really feel relaxed being at home for these few days. It’s nice to be back in solitude. I’ve been able to sleep easily and not worry about too many things at the moment, despite that next week will be some what hectic. Although with this in mind, I haven’t taken care of much work as I had intended to. So I guess tomorrow might be a trip for a few hours to the campus to straighten my mindset.
